- 1894, Santeri Alkio, Puukkojunkkarit, WSOY, published 1981, →ISBN, page 28:
- Juuri kun hän parhaillaan pauhasi ja toiset vatsojaan pidellen nauroivat, työnnettiin kamarin ovi auki ja Kasarin Tommi astui sisään. Jykevä mies, jonka leveät hartiat ahdas körttinuttu teki vielä jykevämmiksi.
- Just as he blustered and the others laughed their bellies out, the bedroom door swung open and Tommi Kasari stepped in. A sturdy man, whose broad shoulders were made even sturdier by the tight tailcoated jacket.
- 1946 Laila Järvinen, Peppi Pitkätossu (translation of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Långstrump) WSOY, page 8:
- Lapset olivat hyvin kilttejä, hyvin kasvatettuja ja tottelevaisia. Tommi ei koskaan purrut kynsiään, hänen tukkansa oli aina kammattu, ja melkein aina hän teki mitä hänen äitinsä pyysi.
- The children were very kind, well raised and obedient. Tommi never bit his nails, his hair was always groomed and he almost always did what his mother asked of him.
- 2017, Kia Walli, Avokadopastaa, Otava, →ISBN, page 213:
- Tommi. Saili piti nimeä suussaan. Se alkoi teenä kitalaesta ja päättyi pehmeään, huulten välistä tulevaan iihin. Ihana nimi, Saili ajatteli, Tommia hänellä ei ollut vielä ollutkaan. […] Saili ja Tommi kuulosti Sailista ainakin yhtä seksikkäältä ja legendaariselta kuin Bonnie ja Clyde.
- Tommi. Saili kept the name in her mouth. It started as a T in the palate and finished off in a soft I right between the lips. What a lovely name, Saili thought, she had never had a Tommi before. […] Saili and Tommi sounded to Salli at least as sexy and legendary as Bonnie and Clyde.
