It suddenly dawned on me today that it is actually a nice name.

Quick internet search it is a 'proper' names as well.

Am I being ridiculous? It isn't that different from calling your DD Emerald or Amber or Cherry or Jade? is it?

My first thought was of the duck (whose wing-colour gave the name to the shade), so I don't see it like other colour names (and indeed would have expected it to be a boys name - though Duckie in NCIS was named from Mallard as a surname).

My ds would be sooo impressed to meet a real life Teal. I'm not sure what I think of it as a name tbh. I don't hate it, but I don't love it.

My first thought was sounds like squeal

My DS was entranced to learn, today, that "Teal" was a colour! And a nice one, too...

How about Cerise? Or Umber?

I love it ----BUT it's very NOW what with Abney and Teal on Cbeebies which has been a big hit with parents.
I'd avoid.

As soon as I heard the tv programme Abney & Teal I fell in love with Teal too! I think it's a beautiful name

The only thing is with Abney and Teal being popular on cbeebies these days it might come across a bit like calling your child 'Igglepiggle' iyswim... but other than that I do kinda like it, cos I like the colour teal and the sound is quite nice
