** 2007, Leena Lehtolainen, Luonas en ollutkaan, Tammi, →ISBN, page 246:—Jaana. Vai niin. Alla finskor heter Jaana. Esa hymyili hämmennykselle, jonka repliikki aiheutti Jaanassa. —Se on sitaatti yhdestä lukemastani novellista, jäi mieleen. Eipä Esakaan maailman harvinaisin nimi ole. —Mutta nykylapset eivät ole Esoja ja Jaanoja. Tyttäreni mielestä Jaana on tätinimi. Siitä kuulee heti, että nimen kantaja on yli neljänkymmenen.—Jaana. I see. Alla finskor heter Jaana [Swedish: All Finns are named Jaana]. Esa smiled at Jaana's confusion brought on by his words. —It's a quote from a short story I read that stuck to my mind. Esa isn't a particularly rare name either. —But children aren't called Esa or Jaana anymore. My daughter thinks Jaana is the name for an aunt. You can tell anyone with that name must be at least forty years old.
