I chose my name from an old high school friend. I had always liked the way Rachel sounded and Elaine is what I would have wanted my middle name to be if I was born a girl.

Why is it everyone expects us to explain to them who we are? Isn't it enough of a privilege for them to have us in the world?
My femme name was easey for me to choose.
Tiffany---I allways loved that name even when I was young
Anne---St. Anne---Anne Of Green Gables (legendary canadian character)
9954---a unused Canadian Pacific railroad number at the moment (based on my railroad interest and hobby)
I didn't choose my name, my wife did. After seeing me dressed she said "you look like a Cassandra". Myself I like Cassandra LITE, soo Cassy it is!
After pondering for a few days, Sarah kept coming back to me. I later found out my Grandmother was named Sarah. I was supposed to be Sarah A. on this site but I mucked up the Registration Process and was unable to rectify it. My Chinese birth sign is a 'Rabbit', so I took it as my Forum name and have been having fun with it ever since (giggle)
Sarah R.

Every time I walk down the street, I see every eye on me.
Every time they look at me, I wonder, who do they see?

my name was given to me at birth by mom....one thing I know of that she did right.. I think there may be something to the saying " moms know "
Hey Dee,
That's a very good guestion. And I guess it deserves some honesty. Sure, it's easy to change your name from chris to christy, but what if you are like some of us that are so unfortunate to not have an easily exchangeable name? I won't give you my real name, but I know the "root" of it is conrad. So I guess connie would be about right. Now that I think about it, it's funny, but I actually dated a girl named connie!
My name is from the first girl that broke my heart. Her name was Mylinda Jean, but we all called her Mindy.Therefore Mindy Jean. She had the most beautiful brunette hair and I guess I have always been trying to acheive the look that she had. She had nothing to do with crossdressing, I was well into it before I met her! But out of all of the girls that I had met to that point, she was the one that I most admired and tried to immulate.
Good question, Dee! At least it got me to thinking!

When I started writing TG fiction/erotica I needed a pen name and separate email account. The pen name I chose, Donna Williams, belonged to a next door neighbor of mine back in the 60s-70s. Then, when signing up for an email account, I added TvTg to Donna, something easy to remember and not long.
When signing up for my first forum I shortened it to DonnaT, again easy to remember and not long.
On one forum, Rose's, I had to use DonnaTvTg because someone else had already taken DonnaT, even though she didn't post using it, which is good since folks from there wouldn't confuse us on other forums such as this one.

i needed a name to register for one of my first online profiles and had to come up with something quick. I chose Christine b/c that was the name of a girl in my office I thought was very attractive and my confirmation name is Christopher. I didn't put a lot of thought into it. It's stuck ever since even tho think about changing it now and again.

A girl named Sherry was my biggest unrequited childhood crush ... years later I realized that I didn't just want to be *with* her, I wanted to *be* her! So now as an adult CD, I get to act out what it might be like to be Sherry.
My neighbor a few years back come up with mine. I'm still in the closet but I let my neighbors on both sides find out about me. Of course that was before moving. One of my neighbors caught me once... well actually, I went outside when she got home... not really catching me, lol. Anyway, we were talking and she asked me what my name was... this is something I thought about but to no avail. She requested Jasmine, so there it is. "R" is the first initial of my last name.
Wow, someone after my heart, Same here,I still think of Dee Dee..Originally Posted by Sherry_CD_NJ

I chose KateW because Dee 1062, Barb43210, DayTripper and Annesah were already taken, but thankfully my 5th favourite choice was still available!

My mother gave me my name "Francine". I'm not sure she was aware of it, but one time she told me she was going to name me "Francine" if I was a girl. When I started dressing, I remembered that, and been using it for my fem side since.

Critisize me and I may not like you.

Gina came out because it has something to do with the greek word GYNOS.
"Gynos" means "woman" in the specifically female sense, hence words like "gynecology" for the medical field specializing in the female reproductive system and "androgyny" for a person exhibiting both male and female traits.)
Besides, Gina was the name of a friend's sister I liked very much but she was obviously bigger than me, so never happened there.

Anyhow, was thinking about my name, went to bed and woke up knowing that I wqas Debbie....simple as that
Gabrielle -- named by my mother after my Great Grandmother
I chose the name Angela when I was a child.
I think it was because the first two letters are
the same as my own name.
I added the XX not for any air of mystery, but
because there was another girl called Angela already here
when I joined the forum, and I thought XX would look
like two kisses, one on each cheek, as in mmmwah! mmmwah!
An afterthought.
Although my mother was totally supportive of my crossdressing
she would never refer to me as Angela, she always without
exception called me by my full first name, no shortened versions,
never.
I chose the first name of my fem-self from an actress (Olivia Newton-John) in the movie “Zanadu.” She was a muse.
The last name is a derivative of a name from my family tree, which also means fake. I write the name sort as if it were French, which I am not either. Therefore, I call my fem-self Kira DeRide.
Originally Dalesman, which was a nom de plume I used in business, and which was quick and convenient when I registered, but not at all feminine, I changed it to Win Der Mere.
1. A school friend's Mum, whom I found totally alluring was Win.
2. I live near Windermere
3. DER was ( a long time ago ) a Uk TV rental company
4. Mere has a sort of motherly feel to it
5. There are lots of potential variations on the "Win" theme, eg. : "lose", "winj","wink", "win der" etc.
6. Nobody else has anything like it ! ( that's me ; a one-off )
7. Being a classy lakeland lady I needed a classy handle.
8. Bull-shit was always a speciality.

In Finland they don't use sexed words. So Han I belive refers to both male and female. Also, failing that it means 'half' in Japanesse. Plus I am a uber sci-fi geek. So I can't go wrong really.

I named myself after the first girl I ever had a crush on way back in the fourth grade...I grew up and went to high school with Michelle. I think I saw in her everything I wish I could see in myself...I only wish that I could someday tell her just how special she has always been to me.

I just liked the name Veronica. No other reason. It has nothing to do with my real name.
