Thoughts please?

Obviously there is the Abney and Teal connection, but I don't think it's overly associated with that, and it's a nice little programme anyway.

It's bad.

I dont like it. Even Tia.would be better.

Thea?

I like Thea but have a slight lisp so it's not the greatest name for me :(

I quite like it.
Teal. Why not?

Duck. No.

I know a Tiel (mid thirties) and love her name! Maybe this spelling would be better to avoid duck associations?!

I knew a baby Teal about seven years ago, haven't met another. Her dad was called Robin, they chose it because it was a bird name like her dad. My first comment was 'like the colour' I didn't know it was a bird. It's fine, not that complicated to spell or say really and not completely made up either.

I know 3 dogs called Teal.

I have taught a Teal (secondary). I sat her next to Saffron to amuse me so I could learn their names quicker. There are far nicer names, but if you're going for nature-type names, at least it's a 'strong' name unlike some
