Kaarlo
- a male given name
1971, Kalle Päätalo, Huonemiehen poika, Gummerus, published 1981, →ISBN, page 468:En osaa vielä tänä päivänä päätellä, mistä on johtunut Päätalon sen sukuhaaran, johon itse kuulun, suoranainen himo antaa poikalapsilleen ylväitä nimiä. Oliko sellainen ollut köyhyydessä kihisevien vanhempien alitajuista halua höpöstellä edes lasten nimillä parempiosaista. Jo oma nimeni Kaarlo Alvar on huonemiehen pojalle annettuna vähintään piisalle asti korskea. Se jää kuitenkin toiseksi sen nimen rinnalla, joka Taivalkosken seurakunnan papinkirjaan on räntätty Kummun Kallen, Aukusti Päätalon kolmanneksi vanhimman pojan kohdalle: Karl Gustaf!- I still to this day cannot determine how that branch of the Päätalo family that I belong to has gotten what is essentially a craving to give their sons noble names. Perhaps it was a subconscious desire of the parents living in abject poverty to pretend as someone well off even if just in how they named their children. My name Kaarlo Alvar is for someone of my background at least fairly haughty. Yet it falls second to the name that had been written down in the records of the Taivalkoski church parish as the name for Kummu's Kalle, the third oldest son of Aukusti Päätalo: Karl Gustaf!
