Proper noun
Riitta
- a female given name
2013, Kirsti Ellilä, Kaivatut, Karisto, →ISBN, pages 51–52:Että hänkö muka ei ymmärtänyt tytärtään ja Aava ymmärsi? Jo pelkkä nimi Aava kuohutti häntä edelleen, vaikka siitä oli jo toistakymmentä vuotta, kun Riitta oli päättänyt, että vanhempien antama nimi oli toivottoman tylsä. Henrik mietti oliko elämä todella niin yksinkertaista. Muutit nimesi ja muutuit myös itse.- That he hadn't supposedly understood his daughter and Aava had? Just the name Aava still made him agitated, even though it had already been over twenty years since when Riitta had decided that the name given by the parents was hopelessly dull. Henrik thought whether life could really be that simple, that you change your name and thus also change yourself.
