** 1931, Elias Lönnrot, Kaksi viatonta päivää, SKS (1985), →ISBN, page 32:Perille tultaessa ei muori muistanutkaan kotona annettuja, ties kuinkakin harvinaisia nimiä. Pastori ehdotti silloin raamatullista Eliasta, jonka nimipäivä oli lähimailla almanakassa. Kotona oli äiti tyytymättömänä tokaissut, että "olis hänen sitte pannut vaikka Tuisku-Jaakoksi", ja isän mielestä oli pojasta tehty "hulikka". Sammatissa Eliaksen arkimuoto on nimittäin Elkka.Yet when grandmother arrived, she did not remember the who knows how rare names she had been given at home. The pastor suggested the biblical Elias whose name day was coming up. At home the mother had unhappyily blurted out that "he could as well have been called Tuisku-Jaakko". The father thought his son had been made into a "hulikka". In Sammatti, Elias had a colloquial form Elkka.
** 1994, Salme Aejmelaeus, Täyttä elämää, Karisto, →ISBN, pages 127–128:Poikamme sai nimekseen Paul Elias. Paul oli aina ollut lempinimeni lapsuuteni mielikirjan Kahden vuoden loma-ajan ja Välskärin kertomusten Paulien mukaan. Toisen nimen Paul sai Larsin isoisän Eliaksen muistoksi ja myös sen takia, että hän syntyi Elias Lönnrotin 150-vuotispäivänä. ( - - - ) Martti naureskeli nimen kuultuaan, että pienokaisen ja hänen välillään vallitsee kansanperinteessä mainittu leikillinen yhteys: poika oli kummin kaima. Myös Martin toinen nimi oli Elias.Our son was given the name Paul Elias.Paul had always been my nickname after the Pauls in Two Years' Vacation, my favorite childhood book, and Välskärin kertomuksia. The second name was given after Lars's grandfather Elias and also beacuse he was born to the day 150 years after Elias Lönnrot. [ - - - ] Martti laughed a bit when he heard the name, as there was a connection between him and the newborn as the folk traditions jocularly state: the boy had the same name as his godfather. Martti too had the second name Elias.
