How do you pronounce it?

[Antares]

Like pole.

[Losty]

Like pole.

I thought everyone said poll and pole the same, but apparently I was wrong.

[CapnAwesome]

I say it like pole. Where do people say pawl?

[Losty]

I say it like pole. Where do people say pawl?

I don’t know if people in the uk say it like that, or if it’s just Hammy.

[Antares]

Most of the locals here would clip the “l” and it would sound more like poe.

[Angrboda]

I pronounce it with a short i.

[paulpablo]

I don't pronounce it like either.  Like Hammy I say it like Pol the beginning of pollen.  But that's not how I say my own name or how anyone else says it.

[The Grand Nudger]

Ala Pole.  Here's another one..near and dear to me as a kentucky resident.

Versailles.  ver'sai.........or vur'sales?

Hillbillies prefer the latter and look at you like you have a dick growing out of your forehead if you use the former.
(there's also a London and a Frankfort, they pronounce those differently...and obviously spell one of them differently)

Huh? How do you know how I pronounce it?

I picked Paul in the poll just because I definitely don't say it like "Paw" lol. So it was the closest option.

Yeah it's like pol. Us British folks pronounce it as it's spelled. I don't see how the extra "l" makes a difference! Haha.

But I heard Jimmy Carr pronounce it like "Pole" and I thought huh? I thought you were British!

And he is. So apparently some Brits say it like Americans lol.
