Helena

text: Se ei koskaan unohtanut Helenan nimipäivää, vaan päivitteli joka vuosi typerään tapaansa että Helena oli niitä nimiä jotka sukupolvesta toiseen säilyttivät asemansa. Aika oudosti sanottu Maggi-tädiltä. No, olihan noita Helenoita.

ref: 1984, Veronica Pimenoff, Loistava Helena, Tammi, →ISBN, page 55:

english: She had never forgotten Helena's name day, but always bemoaned that Helena is one of thsoe names that endured from one generation to another. Weird coming from aunt Maggi. Well, yes, Helenas were indeed a thing.

text:
Eeva kysyi Matiakselta, tuntuisiko tästä turhamaiselta tai herraskaiselta, jos lapsen kutsumanimeksi pantaisiin Helena. Hän kertoi myös kotikylän nimikkokukasta. Hänen rakkautensa kukkaan oli saanut alkunsa Helenan tarinasta.
—Aivan hyvä nimi, sanoi Matias, —sopisikohan siihen vielä Loviisa-äidin nimi?

ref: 1991, Orvokki Kangas, Marraslapsi, Karisto, →ISBN, page 17:

english:
Eeva asked Matias whether it would seem conceited or fanciful to give the child a name like Helena' and told of the flower the village was named after. Her love to the flower had begun from Helenas story.
—It's a pretty good name, Matias said, —could the mother's name Loviisa also fit with it?

Wagnerian

text: Clearly, Hitler saw his historical function as a Wagnerian grand opera. Vast cosmic changes required an accompaniment of slaughter on a colossal scale.

ref: 1949 September 4, H. R. Trevor-Roper, “Hitler Reappraised, Ten Years After”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, archived from the original on 16 Jul 2025:

text: It is a glossy film with gross, opulent opticals and little comic, or any, relief; it has the jaundiced complexion of an early 60s underground film, which it is; it is ponderous, Wagnerian, and feels about five hours long (its running time is about an hour).

ref: 1976 August 14, Gary Jane Hoisington, “Locker Room As The Site Of Religious Ecstasy”, in Gay Community News, volume 4, number 7, page 9:

text: Thus Gilgamesh and Enkidu as a dyad express a Wagnerian leitmotif that plays upon themes from racial memories of the two different races at the dawn of hominization.
