Proper noun
Sirkku
- a female given name
- 1973, Anu Kaipainen, On neidolla punapaula, WSOY, →ISBN, page 109:
- ―Älä päkätä siinä, tyttö sanoi, se Sirkku. Se oli todella hänen nimensä, vaikka sopi varsin huonosti hänelle, mutta eiväthän vanhemmat olleet nimeä antaessaan tienneet miten jyry lapsesta tulisi. Sirkku oli tarkka ja vakava tyttö, melkein uskovaisen näköinen.
- ―Stop bleating, the girl said, that Sirkku. That was really her name, even though it didn't suit at all, but it's not like the parents could have known tough she would become. Sirkku was a pedantic and serious girl, almost seemed religious.
- 1983, Eva Illoinen, Ovi pimeään, Tammi, →ISBN, page 155:
- Sirkku oli kovin väärä nimi. Mikä vahinko, etteivät ihmiset voineet etukäteen tietää miltä heidän lapsensa tulevat näyttämään ja sitten antoivat niille ihan vääriä nimiä. Maria sen olisi pitänyt, Maria tämä oli, kapeat kasvot ja tumma tukka, ei mikään Sirkku voinut näyttää tuollaiselta.
- Sirkku was not at all the right name. What a shame that people simply couldn't know in advance how their children would look like. They'd end up giving them the wrong names. She should've been a Maria, she was a Maria, with a narrow face and dark hair. No Sirkku should've looked like that.
