Teutonic vs Norse Tag

Question

As the title says, should we have a teutonic tag or a norse tag, or perhaps teutonic as a synonym for norse?

Personally, I feel teutonic is the better choice but I'm aware that not many people will understand this to mean Norse/Scandinavian.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "Teutonic mythology" generally refer to non-Scandinavian Germanic myth, as opposed to "Norse", which refers to Scandinavian myth? — senshin, Apr 28, 2015 at 20:43
It seems to be sketchily defined elsewhere (from what I could find) and often used interchangeably. — Sera H, Apr 28, 2015 at 20:48
@StuartH I find that some people use them interchangeably, but I'm pretty sure they are different, but their mythology is very similar. Much like the greek-roman mythologies. — user93, May 3, 2015 at 8:01
Related: Greek, Roman, and Greco-Roman tags. Are these synonyms? — user93, May 3, 2015 at 8:18

Let them both exist for now. In a few months when the volume has increased it the answer should be obvious.
