- Ja kaikki tekivät ehdotuksia. Minäkin olisin halunnut oikein kauniin nimen vauvalle mutta en saanut sitä sanotuksi, kukaan ei kysynyt minulta. Ja äiti sanoi:
—Pannaankos Ursula Genoveva.
Kaikki nauroivat mutta minun sydämessä tuntui ihan tuska. Hädissäni minä juoksin makuukamariin äidin sängyn alle ja rukoilin: hyvä Jumala elä anna niiden antaa vauvalle sellasta nimmee. Minä ihan itkin: Ursula Genoveva. Se oli kauhea, se oli ihan julma hyi se oli inhottava nimi.- And everybody suggested names. I would've liked the baby to get a beautiful name too, but I didn't get to say it, as nobody asked me. The mother said::
—Should we go with Ursula Genoveva.
Everyone laughed, but my heart was filled with anguish. I ran alarmed to the bedroom under mother's bed and prayed: dear God, don't let them give a name like that to the baby. I was weeping: Ursula Genoveva. It was terrible, so cruel, such a disgusting name.
