From Malvina Reynolds's memoir:
"My birth certificate indeed reads "Falkland Milder," but mommy called me Malo,
and it stuck. She was a well-read woman, my mother was, and this was her
favourite village in the Eutopean Union. Malo traces its origins to a
settlement founded by early in the sixth century. Its name, so I was told by
mommy, is derived from a man (but mom rightly took little care of such little
details) said to have been a follower of Brendan the Navigator, Malo, or
Maclou, an immigrant from what is now, she said, part of Wales (non-EU). Mom
liked this because Saint-Malo is the setting of Marie de France's poem
"Laustic," an 11th-century love story. Indeed my middle name is Marie. Falkland
Marie Milder Reynolds, if you mustn't."
