[edit]Elvi
- a female given name
- 1978, Tuovi Saarenpää, Kihlat, Weilin + Göös, →ISBN, page 69:
- Jo lapsuudessa he olivat olleet erilaisia, ei olisi sisaruksiksi uskonut. Ja oli kuin äitikin olisi vaistonnut ja tajunnut sen heti alusta alkaen, kun antoi heille, sisaruksille, niin erilaiset nimet. Mikä nyt olisi ollut tavallisempi nimi kuin Elvi? Vaikka eihän se ollut nykyään enää tavallinenkaan, vanhanaikainen se oli, ei sellaista nimeä tavannut enää juuri kellään. Kun taas Irene―sehän soinnahti heti niin hienosti. Eräällä prinsessallakin taisi olla sellainen nimi. Ja Irene oli aina ollut nimensä mittainen.
- Already in childhood they had been different, and one would be hard-pressed to believe they were siblings. The mother had already realized it and given them, the siblings, so different names. What could have been a more mundane name than Elvi? Even if it wasn't mundane anymore, it was old-fashioned, a name nobody had anymore, while Irene―had such a pleasant ring. A certain princess had such a name, perhaps. Irene had always been worthy of her name.
