- 1870 Aleksis Kivi, Seitsemän veljestä (Seven Brothers): Chapter 14 (Translation 1991 by Richard A. Impola):
- VAIMO. Etkö tunne enään minua? Olenhan minä Ulla, sinun vaimos.
- WIFE: Don't you know me any more? I'm Ulla, your wife.
- 1922, Anni Swan, Pikkupappilassa, WSOY, published 1966, pages 138–139:
- Siinä seisoo Ulrik Schöring itse ilmi elävänä ratsastuspiiska kädessä ja katselee häntä viattomana kuin kapalovauva. Ulla kohosi istumaan ja loi petturiin niin musertavan katseen kuin ikinä saattoi.
—Ulla, sinä et tervehtinyt serkkuasi, sanoo rikollinen ja kohtaa röyhkeästi tytön leimuavan katseen.
Ei vastausta.
—Mehän olemme kaimoja.- There stood Ulrik Schöring himself alive and well with a riding whip in one hand, and staring upon her innocently like a swaddled baby. Ulla rose up to sit and cast upon the traitor as crushing of a gaze as she ever could.
—Ulla, you didn't greet your cousin, the criminal says and imprudently meets the girl's fiery gaze.
No response.
—We share the same name.
