While this has a nice sound, is masculine and traditional yet simple and elegant, it's probably not very popular in modern Swedish today because of its similarity to the word "allvar" (seriousness, gravity). They are pronounced slightly differently though and are unrelated.

Alvar is also a Spanish medieval name, the ancient form of Alvaro. It was pretty common back then, i.e. Alvar Fañez, the Cid's field marshall, or Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, a 16th c. conquistador. I definitely love it so much, that my first son is named Alvar. At first family tried to discourage me, and still he gets named "Alvaro"; but I think this is a very sounding name, unheard of but not tacky, beautiful, manly and classical. I really think we Spaniards should "rescue" old Castilian names all but forgotten and in turn forget about weird foreign imports.
