2004, Leena Lehtolainen, Jonakin onnellisena päivänä, Tammi, →ISBN, page 245:―Et sinä minusta näytä Marjukalta. Marjukat ovat blondeja. Sä olet tuollainen brunetti tarmonpesä. Paremmin sulle sopisi Jukkis.
―Jukkis? Miksei, Masakin innostui. ―Joo, se kuulostaa hyvältä.
Yritin vengota etten halunnut miehen nimeä, mutta se ei auttanut. Minusta tuli ystävieni suussa Jukkis, ja vähitellen totuin itsekin käyttämään sitä nimeä.- ―You don't look like a Marjukka to me. Marjukkas are blonde and you're a brunette fireball. Jukkis would suit you better.
―Jukkis? Why not, Masa too perked up. ―Yeah, it sounds good.
I tried arguing that didn't want a male name, but to no avail. My friends started to call me Jukkis, and slowly I started calling myself that too.
2014, Antti Holma, Järjestäjä, Otava, →ISBN, page 13:Lillukka oli kirjastonjohtaja ja siltä hän näyttikin. Lillukka oli sellainen nainen, joka oli itse alkanut kutsua itseään Lillukaksi, vaikka oli Liisa Marjukka, ja ajan myötä hän varmasti vaihtaisi nimensä passiinkin.- Lillukka was a librarian and looked like it too. Lillukka was the kind of woman to start calling herself Lillukka, even though she was Liisa Marjukka, and over time would surely be ready to switch her name officially too.
