Jalmari

  1. a male given name
    • 1943-1967 Simo Puupponen, Aapelin valitut ilot, WSOY 1972, →ISBN, page 232:
      Hänen nimensä on Jalmari. Hyvin luultavasti se on Jalmari, siihen suuntaan ainakin. Ehkä Sebastian. Ehkä Frans. En ole varma, mutta jotakin Jalmarin tapaista joka tapauksessa.
      His name is Jalmari. Very likely it is Jalmari, or at least something like that. Maybe Sebastian. Maybe Frans. Not sure, but something like Jalmari.
    • 2010, Arne Nevanlinna, Hjalmar, WSOY, →ISBN, page 17:
      Hjalmar vaikuttaa omituiselta, Jalmari vanhalta, Jallu tuttavalliselta ja HooJalmar mahdottomalta. [ - - - ]
      ―Ei se mitään, tarkoitan siis, juu, sinutellaan vaan...
      Hjalmar tarttuu ojennettuun käteen, mumisee Jali, häkeltyy ja ihmettelee mistä noin hölmö nimi putkahti mieleen.
      Hjalmar sounds odd, Jalmari old-fashioned, Jallu too casual and HooJalmar impossible. [ - - - ]
      ―No problem, I mean, let's just call each other "you"...
      Hjalmar grabs the hand stretched out, mumbles Jali, and gets stupefied wondering where he got that foolish name from.
