Comments for the name Raul

I think Raul could also be pronounced the same way as Paul : Rawl.

It's good. I used to get Raul and Raoul confused!

Root Name: Raul
Etymological Meaning: French. Counselor. Divine wisdom. Wise wolf
Italian Radulf - Derived from the Germanic elements rad meaning "counsel" and wulf meaning "wolf".

I can't really take this name seriously. For some reason whenever I hear it I think of a "Latin lover" a woman is involved with when she gets bored with her husband.

If you look at the popularity, this name has it ups and downs. But I noticed it has gotten less popular since 2000.

You know what I'd noticed? Many names started losing it's popularity in the late 1900's. I don't know why.

For some odd reason, this name always makes me think of a gay man. I wouldn't use it.
