      "His name is Daniel Needham," my mother said. Whew! With what relief - down came my grandmother's hands! Needham was a fine old name, a founding fathers sort of name, a name you could trace back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony - if not exactly Gravesend itself. And Daniel was as Daniel as Daniel Webster, which was as good a name as a Wheelwright could wish for.
      "But he's called Dan," my mother added, bringing a slight frown to my grandmother's countenance.

      Mutta nimeksi ei voitu laittaa Daniel niin kuin Kusti koko ajan oli uhkaillut ja äiti vastustellut. Äiti oli sanonut tosisssaan, ettei sitä nyt sellaista karhunpalvelusta voida lapsellensa tehdä että Taneliksi ristittäisiin. Toiset mukulat tuonnempana vain nimittelisivät ja rumaa hokua veisaisivat lapselle.
      Ja Viira tiesi kyllä, mitä viisua äiti ajoi takaa vaikka ei sanonut. Sitä niin, jossa hoettiin hävyttömästi, että tint tant taneli, tanelin pallia paleli.
      But the name couldn't be Daniel, as Kusti had been threatening and mother resisting. The mother had said in earnest that they couldn't do such a disservice to their child to christen them Taneli. The other kids would just pick on him, singing their ugly rhymes.
      And Viira knew what she was getting at, even if she didn't say it out loud. The obscene one that went "tint tant taneli, tanelin pallia paleli".
