Teal is in the vicinity of #0AA, while cyan is around #5FF; there's almost as much difference between cyan and teal as between cyan and (light) blue or green.

I would strongly advise against it. If you want you can use names like “bluish green”, “greenish blue”, or “blue–green” to stay out of trouble. If you have a blue–green color, maybe slightly on the greenish side, “teal” is a pretty safe name: people won’t misinterpret what you mean. The name “teal” can represent a quite large generic range of colors.
