     Vuonna 1927 synnytti Elina neljännen pojan. [ - - - ] Mummu ehdotti, että Jussin nimen pitäisi periytyä ensimmäisenäkin nimenä pojille eikä vain toisena, kuten tähän asti. Elina ei kuitenkaan oikein sulattanut vanhahtavaa Johannes-nimeä, vaan se annettiin toisessa muodossa. Pojasta tehtiin Juhani.

     In 1927, Elina gave birth to a fourth son. Grandma suggested that Jussi's name should be inherited as the first name and not just the second one, as had been done until now. Elina wasn't however quite fond of the old-fashioned name Johannes, and so instead it was given in another form; thus the son was named Juhani.
