Topi

1. a male given name
   • 1909, Ilmari Kianto, Punainen viiva, →ISBN, page 16:

     Korpiloukon mökinisännän nimi oli Topi Topinpoika Romppanen — hänen vaimonsa nimi Riika. Samoinkuin Topilla oli säädyllisempikin nimenmuoto, nimittäin Tobias ässän ja pehmeän peen kanssa, samoin kuului vaimonkin nimi täyteläisimpänään: Retriika Euphrosyyne Saarantytär Juntunen. Näitä hienompia nimiä ei koskaan turhaanlausuttu arkielämän hyörinässä, vaan ne vedettiin esiin ainoastaan juhlatilaisuuksissa, kuten henkipanossa, rokonistutuksessa ja rippikirjoituksessa.

     The head of the Korpiloukko cabin was named Topi Topinpoika Romppanen — and his wife Riika. Much like Topi had a more decent form of his name, Tobias with an S and a 'soft P', his wife's name too had a fuller form: Retriika Euphrosyyne Saarantytär Juntunen. These finer names were never said in vain in the bustle of everyday life, only brought up during festivities, like in population registers, vaccinations or when registering for communion.
