I have just heard this name and have fallen in love, what are your honest thoughts?

Elizabeth33 · May 31, 2021, 12:39pm

I think if you love it then go for it! nickname could be Teally which sounds like tilly which I always thought was cute

I think it’s pretty cool - the colour teal is lovely and I’ve seen the name on a TV show character as well, whom the name really suited.

Could you find the colour in a different language? personally not a name for me.

I like it but I really love the name Teila!

rubyimogen · May 31, 2021, 2:18pm

Is that said like ‘tee’ - ‘la’

One of my good friends growing up had [name_u]Teal[/name_u] as her middle name, so while sound wise it’s not my personal style, I think as a name it’s just fine.

Oblivious_octopus · May 31, 2021, 2:41pm

I like it.

I agree with @AshLoss .I like the sound of Teila or Teilia better.

[name_u]Teal[/name_u] was actually an unexpected suggestion when I was pregnant because I love the color. I picked a more traditional name, because I’m not quite brave enough for [name_u]Teal[/name_u], but I still have a sweat spot for it, and I think it’s no more “out there” than a lot of names used these days.

I’ve actually been thinking about this name recently too! There’s a (male) soccer player named [name_u]Teal[/name_u] Bunbury who I think of but I really like the name for all genders. It’s sleek and fun, with a beachy vibe!

Ameliaanwen · May 31, 2021, 3:53pm

I really really like it! I haven’t found the right combination for her but I could totally see it on a daughter of mine

Greyblue · May 31, 2021, 5:27pm

[name_u]Teal[/name_u] has such an interesting and distinct sound!

Harvest-Endellion · May 31, 2021, 5:35pm

I love [name_u]Teal[/name_u]! Not the color especially, but the word/name. I have this fantasy name for a boy of [name_u]Moroccan[/name_u] [name_u]Teal[/name_u] because I love how it sounds, but it would be beautiful on a girl too. Great, unexpected middle.

Don’t care for it.

judy.newstead · May 31, 2021, 7:16pm

I like it! Reminds me of the actress [name_u]Teal[/name_u] Wicks

LisaL87 · May 31, 2021, 7:48pm

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was to use full name Tenneal (which I think has multiple spellings) and have [name_u]Teal[/name_u] as a nickname.
