** 1967 Anu Kaipainen, Arkkienkeli Oulussa, WSOY, page 117:
    - Minun nimeni on Leena, tyttö sanoi. Leena oli kaunis nimi. Miikkaelkin tunsi monta Leenaa. Ei ollut hätää olla minkään Leenan kanssa.- My name is Leena, the girl said. Leena was a beautiful name. Miikkael knew many Leenas too, so being with a Leena was not a problem.
** 2008, Niina Hakalahti, Uimataito, Tammi, →ISBN, pages 250–251:—No mitä sinä sitten haluat? —Jotakin yksinkertaista. Maija, Liisa, Leena. Santerilla on muuten hyvä nimi, mutta se Luca kyllä kaduttaa. [ - - - ] —Entä yhdysnimet? Vaikka Marve-Leena? —Niin tai vaikka Impi-Tytti?—So what do you want then? —Something plain. Maija, Liisa, Leena. Santeri has an otherwise good name, but I do still regret Luca. [ - - - ] —What about double-barreled names? Like Marve-Leena? —Or even Impi-Tytti?
