To sign 'Teo', you will fingerspell the letters T, E, and O using your dominant hand. Start with a 'T' handshape by tucking your thumb under your index finger, keeping your palm facing forward. Then, transition to an 'E' handshape by curling your fingers down to rest on your thumb, and finish by forming an 'O' handshape with your fingers curved to meet your thumb.

Fingerspell T-E-O, then sign 'come' and 'party' while raising your eyebrows to indicate a yes/no question.
Sign 'I', 'need', and 'call', and then fingerspell the name T-E-O to specify who you are calling.

Name signs are given by Deaf individuals to people they interact with regularly. Until a Deaf person gives Teo a specific name sign, you should always fingerspell his name as T-E-O.
No, you should maintain eye contact with the person you are signing to. Looking at your own hand can be distracting and breaks the natural flow of conversation.
No, you should not mouth the individual letters T-E-O. Instead, you can mouth the whole word 'Teo' naturally as you fingerspell it, or simply keep a neutral facial expression.
