In all the world, 哈尔 (Hal , Hall , 哈尔 , and others...) is a common largely masculine, but infrequently feminine first name. The forename 哈尔 is habitual in Barbados, where it is quite a rare masculine name, Israel, where it is quite a rare primarily female, but very infrequently boy's name, and the United States, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in the United States, India, and Canada. More frequently, 哈尔 is the last name as well as the forename.
哈尔 is also a popular name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Hal Jordan , the fictional superhero published by DC Comics, The Lego Movie; HAL 9000 , the fictional character in Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey series, 2001: A Space Odyssey; Homestar Runner , the titular character from Homestar Runner, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People; Hal Emmerich , the fictional character from the Metal Gear series and Tighten , the Main antagonist of the 2010 animated film Megamind., and in many other works.
