I don't really like this name. I think it looks better than Harold but I'm not a fan of either the Scandinavian or English pronunciations of it. It is very outdated in my opinion.

This is my cousin's name, he calls himself Hal though heh. I love saying his full name not only to annoy him, but it really suits him, even though he's 14. It's an ageless name in my opinion.
