   • 2007, Esa Sariola: Valtakirja, →ISBN, page 5:

     Inkeri kirkui riemusta ja kiipesi takaisin omalle pihalleen, otti muovilapion käteen ja hyökkäsi taas takaisin, yritti möristä sillä tavalla syvästi kuin pikku tyttö nyt mörisee, toisteli nopeaan minun nimeäni, Henri, Henri, Henrihenrihenri ja sai sen kuulostamaan huonosti käynnistyvän auton starttimoottorilta, ja minä menin linnaan turvaan.

     Inkeri screamed of joy and climbed back to her own yard, grabbed a plastic shovel and attacked back at me, grumbling deeply like a little girl would, rapidly repeating my name: Henri, Henri, Henrihenrihenri. It sounded like a starting car motor. I ran to safety inside the castle.

   • 2009, Tero Liukkonen, Toivomuspuu, Gummerus, →ISBN, page 78:

     Sen kaverit nimittää sitä Hekaksi tai Hessuksi tai Henkaksi, mutta mä sanon sitä aina Henriksi, koska sen oikea nimi kuvastaa jotenkin sen aatelista luonnetta.

     His friends call him Heka or Hessu or Henkka, but i always call him Henri, because his name kind of reflects his noble character.
