     Kirkonkirjoissa etunimeni on Arne. Muotoa Aarne alettiin käyttää 30-luvun kansallisessa huumassa. Kenian englanninkielisessä yhteisössä palasin alkuperäiseen nimiasuun. Turhaan, sillä myöhemmin kuulin, että kaksoisvokaali olisi heidän mielestään lisännyt identiteettiini tervetulleen annoksen eksotiikkaa.

     In the church books, my name is Arne. The form Aarne began to be used during the nationalistic fervor in the 30's. I restored the original form while among the English-speaking community of Kenya. I later heard that it was in vain, as they thought the double vowel would've given my identity a welcome dash of exoticism.
