- 1918 Anni Swan, Kaarinan kesäloma, WSOY (1956), page 27:
- Kaarina huomasi, että hienot, romaaneista lainatut nimet Fransiska, Isabella, Armand ja Raoul jokapäiväisessä käytännössä olivat yksinkertaisesti Sikke, Iisa, Manne ja Ralle. Ainoastaan kunnallisneuvoksetar käytti alkuperäisiä nimiä, hänkin enimmäkseen vieraiden läsnäollessa ja juhlallisimmissa tilaisuuksissa.
