- 2014, Antti Holma, Järjestäjä, Otava, →ISBN, page 144:
- Rohkaisin mieleni ja kysyin mistä Varvaran nimi oli tehty.
"Miten niin tehty?"
"Siis mistä se on väännös?"
"Ei se ole mikään väännös", sanoi Varvara ja katsoi minua inhoten.
Ei tietenkään ollut. Myöhemmin vasta tajusin, että se oli slaavilainen versio Barbarasta. Miten en ollut ymmärtänyt sitä? Syytin mielessäni Himmeliä, Lillukkaa, Maippi-tätiä ja markkinoinnin Kerstyä väännettyjen nimien tuomisesta elämääni.- I gathered my courage and asked where Varvara's name was made of.
"What do you mean what is it made of?"
"I mean, which name is it a corruption of?"
"It's not a corruption of anything", Varvara said and looked at me with loathing.
Of course not. I only realized later that it's a Slavic variant of Barbara. How had I not understood that? I blamed Himmeli, Lillukka, auntie Maippi and Kersty from marketing into bringing the idea of corrupted names into my mind.
