Meh. Reminds me of pole or poll. Not bad, just not good.

You know, Pol Pot bore a pseudonym derived from the French expression "politique potentielle" - "policies of possible"; his real name was Saloth Sâr.
I don't know how that absolutely unrelated fact can restrain anybody Catalan (or even non-Catalan) from using this classical name.

Pol go climb the pole. XD.

Used by that cannibalistic psycho from the evil Khmer Rouge Pol Pot. I won't ever use it at all.

Also a Breton variant of Paol: http://bibliotheque.idbe-bzh.org/data/cle_122/Choix_de_PrAnoms_bretons_.pdf

Pol Espargaro is a Spanish motorbike racer.

Pol is a very used name in Catalonia. It is used as well in Ireland (Pól), Scotland (Pòl) and France (Pol).

---

There is a village in Spain (in Galicia) called Pol, a little village of thousands of years old. Then you have other names of places that use it, like Sant Pol de Mar (Catalonia), Saint Pol de Léon and Saint-Pol-sur-Mer (France).

I have seen this as a short form of the feminine name 'Polly'.

Forename of Pol Pot, which makes this an unusable name, in my opinion.
