What could Hal be short for? And other names like it?

[bringbackfonzi]

A pregnant friend of mine likes the name Hal as an nn but is looking for a longer bc name. Apart from Henry, Harold or the more unusual Hallam, can you think of anything?
And they're not 100% set on Hal, so any similar suggestions would be very welcome! Thanks.

Harland
Harold
Hale
Halvar(d)
Halsten
Haldor
Hallam

My cousin is called Harley. Great name for a guy, IMO.
Hal for short.

I think Ned is a similar vibe to Hal. ( and yes, I know Scots have other issues with Ned) which opens up the Ed- names, Edward, Edwin, Edmund and Edgar.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Jonty too. Nn for Jonathan

I know 3 Harey' who all get called Hal.

Sorry, that should say 3 Harry's

Harold. Love the nn Hal, was a name we considered but we had DDs.

Hal is short for Henry - Good King Hal. Harry is also short for Henry (Prince Harry is Henry).

I have a friend with Ned, not short for Edward. Just christened Ned. I think your friend could get away with Hall. I also know with the following names on their birth certificates - Sam, Ben, Drew, Ted, and Max.

I'm a big fan of just having the abbreviated name instead of the full name.

Hal is a diminutive for Henry. Can't believe anyone doesn't know that! Flipping heck, we all did Literature at school and Henry Vlll was frequently called "Prince Hal".

Henry V. If we're talking Shakespeare. He was also Harry - 'Cry God for Harry, England and Saint George!'
