    • 1972, Olavi Henriksson, Miekkatanssi, →ISBN:
      Riina-muori oli antanut hänelle nimen Katariina ja sanonut, että Riinakin oikeastaan oli tarkoittanut Katariinaa, nimestä oli vain kulunut puolet pois, mutta että Katariina saisi olla Katariinana koko ikänsä.
      Grandmother Riina had named her Katariina and said that Riina had too always meant Katariina, but that half of the name had been chafed away, but this Katariina would stay a Katariina her entire life.

      Olimme lopulta päässeet yksimielisyyteen lapsen nimestä. Tytöstä tulisi Gerda minun mummini mukaan, Rauha Oton toivomuksesta ja Katariina, koska kolmas nimi sai muut kuulostamaan paremmalta yhdessä. Gerda Rauha Katariina saisi minun sukunimeni.
      We've finally agreed on a name. The girl would be named Gerda after my grandmother, Rauha as Otto had hoped and Katariina, because the third name helped the other two sound better. Gerda Rauha Katariina would have my surname.
    • 2014, Petra Maisonen, Maailma on sun: Tarinoita nuoruudesta, Tammi, →ISBN:
      Pystyin hyvin kuvittelemaan tytön nimeltä Katariina. Pystyin uskomaan häneen. Hän oli tummahiuksinen, minua vanhempi, käytti kireitä farkkuja ja poikien flanellipaitoja. Hänellä oli punaisella lakatut kynnet, ja hän kuunteli Mötley Crüeta.
      I could well imagine a girl named Katariina. I could believe in her. She had dark hair, was older than me, wore tight jeans and male flannel shirts. She had fingernails varnished red and listened to Mötley Crüe.
