   • 1840, Kanteletar:3:3 Katrin parannus:

     Katri kangasta kutovi,
     helma hieno helkytteli.

   • 1967, Venny Kontturi, Ruukinkuja, Uusi kirjakerho, published 1974, →ISBN, page 129:

     Piti ihan sormin laskea ennen kuin jokaisen muisti luetella: Tiina, Taina, Tuovi, Toini, Tyyra, Tilma ja Tellu. Katri oli kaikkein nuorin ja Katri, ei ollut kai enää keksitty kaunista teellä alkavaa tytönnimeä.

     I had to count them by finger in order to remember all of their names: Tiina, Taina, Tuovi, Toini, Tyyra, Tilma and Tellu. Katri was the youngest of them all and Katri, I suppose they couldn't come up with any more beautiful female names starting with a T.
