    • 1870 Aleksis Kivi, Seitsemän veljestä (Seven Brothers): Chapter 6 (Translation 1991 by Richard A. Impola):
      JUHANI. Tässä, poika!
      TUOMAS. Koreasti, Juho!
      AAPO. Koreasti! Noinhan tappelee kaksi nälkäistä haukkaa.
      SIMEONI. Tappelua, sulaa tappelua!
      AAPO. Järkevästi, Juhani!
      JUHANI: I'm ready!
      TUOMAS: Nicely, Juho, nicely!
      AAPO: Nicely! They're fighting like two starving hawks.
      SIMEONI: Fighting, out-and-out fighting!
      AAPO: Get ahold of yourself, Juhani!
    • 1997, Eeva Tikka, Kahdesti kastettu. Novelleja, Gummerus, →ISBN, page 136:
      —Jaa. Mikäs siinä. Laita veikkonen isäukon nimi venneen laitaan. Niin pääsee Syrjäläisen Juho vielä vetten päälle viilettelemään.
      —Se oli siis Juho?
      Juho oli ja Juhona pysyi. Jos joku yritti Jussiksi vääntää, se komensi: pysy oikeessa nimessä!
      —Well. Why not. Hey buddy, write old dad's name on the boat, so Juho Syrjäläinen gets to ride the waves again.
      —So it was Juho?
      Juho he was and Juho he remained. If someone tries to call him Jussi, he'd tell them off and to stick to the right name!
