[Opinions] Tel

Okay, I'm starting to rethink the Telemachus thing since as names go it's kinda unlikely. But if I decide to change it, it still has to be something that could be shortened to Tel since the name's already been 'broken in'. So, any suggestions?

Tel

It's a short form of Terence in use, apparently.

I couldn't think of any names off the top of my head, so I google Telly Savalas. It seems his formal name is Aristotle Savalas. I'm not sure if that helps you.

Theophilus, perhaps? Something Greek is bound to work.

I love Tel as a name not just a nn. It's one of my favorites

I'm inclined to follow Tel with...Aviv. Dislike.

Hmm, it's an idea. I wasn't aware it was a name in it's own right. He's Tel pretty much all the time anyway. The only time anyone is likely to use his full name is for yelling purposes.

I only found out that Tel was an actual name all by itself through this website. BtN has it as the short form of Terence, but I love as just Tel, no longer name needed.
