Laitettii ihan tavallinen Anneli vaan. Ei sitte lapsetkaa kiusaa pihalla taikka koulussa. Ennen vanhaa aina kiusasvat minun toista siskooni, kun sen nimi ol Hellä. Siitä sitä riitti juttua.- “We gave her a normal sounding name”, the mother said. “These days they christen their babies Suvi-Päivikki and Kastehelmi and so on. We just gave her the normal name Anneli. She won't get picked on in the playground or at school. Back then they always picked on one of my sisters, since her name was Hellä. She had plenty of stories to tell about that.”
