- 2010, Ilkka Raitasuo - Terhi Siltala, Kellokosken prinsessa, Like Kustannus Oy, →ISBN, page 211:
- Eräänä Annan päivänä 1960-luvulla ylilääkäri Alivirta oli pistäytynyt osastolla toivottamassa kaikille juhlijoille hyvää nimipäivää. Tuolloin Prinsessa oli oikaissut Isä Paavalia ja todennut, että hän oli oikeastaan Anita. Hän piti Annaa hieman rahvaanomaisena ja vanhahtavana etunimenä.
- On one Anna's day [in December] in the 1960s, head physician Alivirta had stopped by the unit to wish everyone celebrating a happy name day. Then the princess had corrected father Paavali and stated that the name was actually Anita. To her Anna was a bit folksy and outdated as a name.
