Wow, interesting experience. Glad it worked out ok.
I haven't gone out in public enough enfemme yet, to here someone call my name. So when i here my female name when i am in drab does get my attention, but I have never made the mistake in answering to it. I think i would actually have more of a problem if I heard my male name being called while I was out enfemme.....i would probably hace to catch myself from answering to it.
As a man I may look like I belong, but I don't feel like I belong...As a woman I may not look like I belong, but I feel like I belong!
I thought that would be a problem too but it really hasn't. When i hear my guy name in Renee mode i really don't even reacti would actually have more of a problem if I heard my male name being called while I was out
[SIZE="4"][/SIZE]It's the same with me Renee, if I hear my guy name while en femme I don't react at all. I do get a little thrill when I hear Susan while en femme or not. Luckily I haven't answered to Susan while drab....yet!!!

Maybe that's why I chose an unusual name. When I was out last weekend I shortened it to "D". Anyway mine means "sl*t" in Italian. How that will make me feel will probably depend on who's saying it
Definitely! It's tough not to jump or respond when I hear "Hey, Kathi!"
Kathi
Yes, it's very weird if not eiree feeling whenever I hear "Jocelyn" being called when out in the outside world. I usually will always snap to attention as a natural reflex. It also will cause my wife to giggle as well whenever shopping and we come across a sales associate with my name as well.

You don't hear "Lallie" too much outside of babytalk, so it hasn't been a real problem for me. It would be much worse to hear my male name when I was dressed.
Lallie
Time for a change.
I hear my name all the time, but its pretty much never directed towards a person. When I picked my name I didn't fully grasp the repercussions of having the same name as a season of the year.
I do smile every time I see a thread entitled "summer clothes"
Yep .... me too. There's a couple of "Rachels" at my company and when I hear someone talking about "Rachel" I always think about myself. Last month I was standing in the middle of the purchasing department talking to a co-worker and I heard one of the buyers call out in a loud voice "Hey Rachel" and look directly at me ... I nearly died as I thought that somehow even though I was in boy mode, she knew all about me ... yet unbeknown to me, standing right behind me was the manager of that department and her name is Rachel!

I agree it has happened to me also, was eating at a resturant alone wen I heard someone say HI JENNA, I almost said hi before I relized they were talking to a girl that had just walked in. we do have to be careful.
Mine is only a problem when I hear someone say "Holy crap, I need to get some nutmeg on this eggnog."
Actually no. I don't go by it, but if I did....
I hear mine every time I play golf. A standard statement when you leave a put short is "nice put Alice!" I smile every time I hear it and use it myself all to frequently.
Alice, is that a reference to The Honeymooners?

I have the reverse problem. When I dress and shop with my daughter, I always answer when she goes "Hey Dad, check out this top!".
Renee, when I chose my name I decided that my given name feminized was the way to go. So from Terry Gene ot Teri Jean was simple for me and also for those I know and work with. Now the thing that gives me a head turn is when somebody refers to me as she, her, mam, or miss. The gender pronouns has been the lastest work in progress. LOL

Note to self: don't go out with daughter shopping. LOL. Thanks for that one!
My son burned a CD with a random bunch of music for me once, and one of the songs he put on it was Elvis Costello's "Alison". That kinda startled me, but I don't think he knew... just a song he liked. I had never heard the song before that, but had been going by Alison en femme for quite some time by then.

Well,, when I hear my fem name, my head does go on a swivel, but then again, asside from a few celebrities, it's not the kind of name one hears every day unless you're on a reservation.
Good point, I shoulda clarified that. Compact Disc.Do you visit him in prison

There are not many Erins out there.
But the rare times I do hear it, I do respond as a knee-jerk reaction.
Some know me only by Erin.
I don't respond to Nicole, cause tho it will be part of my femme name when I change it someday, I just, Erin feels most natural.
It takes a true Erin to be a pain in the assatar.
Definitely, I had to talk with Michelle at a client's today. Her boss has been on the phone with me before and hollered to Michelle and I responded. Had to get out of it by saying that I wasn't paying close attention.
Michelle
