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.
