- 2013, Tua Harno, Ne jotka jäävät, Otava, →ISBN, page 73:
- Ai Henrietta-täti? Teki pitkän uran yliopistolla, ei koskaan mennyt naimisiin tai saanut lapsia, Frida sanoi. Minusta tyttöjen nimet, jotka ovat väännöksiä poikien nimistä, ovat hiukan ällöttäviä, Frida jatkoi, aina kun tapaan jonkun Josefiinan, ajattelen heti Stalinia, kaikilla maailman Josefiinoilla on varmasti tuuheat viikset.
- Oh, aunt Henrietta? She had a long career at the university, never married or had children, Frida said. I think female names derived from male names are a bit yucky, Frida kept going, whenever I meet a Josefiina, I'm immediately reminded of Stalin, surely every Josefiina has a similarly bushy moustache.
- 2014, Riikka Pulkkinen, Iiris Lempivaaran levoton ja painava sydän, Otava, →ISBN, pages 43–44:
- —No mitä sinä ehdotat?
—Josefiina.
—Ai niin kuin Napoleonin stressistä sairastunut vaimo?
Seurasi väittely, melkein riita. Jennifer pilkkasi Pekan ehdotusta. Pekka pilkkasi lopulta Jenniferin nimeä, johon Jennifer vastasi, ettei voinut mitään vanhempiensa opiskeluaikaisille päähänpistoille.
—Iiris, mitä sinä ajattelet? Jennifer kysyi lopulta.
Minä tunsin oloni taas juhlavaksi, suoristin ryhtini:
—Minusta Josefiina on hyvä, se on kuninkaallinen olematta mahtipontinen. Uskon, että Josefiina-nimisistä tulee onnellisia ihmisiä.- —Well, what do you suggest?
—Josefiina.
—Oh, like Napoleon's wife who got ill from stress?
A debate ensued that almost turned into a full-blown quarrel. Jennifer mocked Pekka's suggestion. Pekka too would end up mocking Jennifer's name, to which Jennifer responded, that she could do nothing about her parents' student-aged whims.
—Iiris, how does that sound? Jennifer finally asked.
I felt festive again and perked up my posture:
—I think Josefiina is a good name, it sounds royal without sounding pompous. I believe anyone called Josefiina will grow up to be happy.
- —Well, what do you suggest?
