Makes me think of American actor
Hal Holbrook (whose full name is
Harold Rowe Holbrook) and the character
Hal in the animated film "Megamind". The former is a good association (because I like the actor), the latter not so much (because the character is plain and later in the film also evil).
Other names that
Hal can be short for (other than the ones that were already suggested by previous posters:
Halbert (see Submitted Names Database)
Haldir (see Submitted Names Database)
Halen (see Submitted Names Database)
Halston (or the similar-looking
Halsten)
