Femme Name/How Did You Decide?

[Veris]

Well~ I first came by the name when I chose it for one of my characters for an online roleplay. I later discovered Veris was the species name of a flower (Primula Veris, a.k.a. cowslip).

I was tickled purple to find that out, Since I loved the name so much, and it's stuck with me for quite a while

[carie]

mine is easy ..

when i was a kid, all of my friends call me "kherie" which is pronounced "carry" . "kherie" is actually my real name but with added slang from a state in my country. I always like it because its sounds like a girl name. "carry" sounds like Carie . so there u go ..

[Charlene Ogden]

that was easy. I'd love to hear from some of you other girls.
Someone commented on this being a sort of a pointless thread. Not so! A name is just as much a part of our feminine being as other aspects.
We answer all sorts of poles on what type of pantyhose we wear and whether or not we like pantyhose or stockings. A name is even more personal and its history ( if there is one) should be shared.
Nuff said. :-) Share away.

And since my name history is available on my web site I won't re-post it here. Click the link I added in my signature if you want to read that and/or more about me.

[Rachana]

My name means 'A beautiful composition/creation'. I've always loved the name, so I kept it.

[Deborah Jane]

I just liked the name Deborah[Debbie or Debs for short]. Jane is there because it makes my initials! DJ!!!

[SweetCaroline]

I have a long history with the name Caroline. I first noticed it as a teen, in the song "Pretty in Pink" (I had a huge crush on Molly Ringwald). I had already started CDing on a regular basic. I was a bit of a loner as an early teen, and didn't have many friends. I lived in a rich fantasy world. In one of the fantasies I was a rock star and one of the members of my band was a tall, tom-boyish girl named Caroline Scott. Years after that, in College, I tried to write a comic book (which I later wrote out as a full length novel). Basically a Metaphor for my teen years. The main character was a 16 year old girl, otherwise normal, who had her genes spliced with a lion, turning her into a Lion Lady. Her name was Caroline Anderson. Years after that I added a middle name, Emily, after Emily Dickenson, since I fancied my femme persona to be something of a poet. So that's how I became Caroline Emily Anderson today.

More than you needed to hear, but someone asked...

[Veronica 1]

My name is Ron but since I started my current job 10 years ago, everybody there has called me Ronni and now it is natural. I am sometimes tempted to go to work dressed and blame them for my current addiction.

[Val702]

I kinda don't feel like I need a Femme name. But whenever I come up with a name for one of my cartoon characters, I just kinda sit back for a minute and make something up. Maybe I'll look up a name associated somehow with a trait of the character. "Val" is just my User name here. It is a nickname an old girlfriend gave me. Just short for my last name.

[Cheryl J]

When I realised I would need a femme name I took the name of my first GF.
Now many years later my SO asked me how I called myself that and she was never comfortable with it. Now that she is more tolerant and we can talk about my crossdressing, I asked her what was her favourite femme name other than our female relatives. She said Yvonne. Without hesitation I am now Yvonne (Yvonne CD forum username -thanks again Wendy_me). So there you have it - now I'm waffling - sorry !

hugs

Yvonne

[Trinni]

I guess I'm lucky because the name Trinni just came to me while I was wearing a pair of panties and I loved it. In my mind it fit so well I have never thought of changing it. The same goes for the Trinni's last name but I'm going to keep that secret for now.

[jenniferj]

When I first presented myself dressed to my wife, she said I was remarkably pretty and said I looked like a Jennifer. She also said I reminded her of Katherine Ross. (It was that long ago)

Ever since that day, I have considered myself connected to all Jennifers, and jumped at any chance to see a Katherine Ross flick.

The J on the end was added mostly for alliteration ("jj" has always seemed cool to me), but also as an homage to Joan Severence, my avatar.

jj

[MsPriscilla]

Priscilla seems the most femme name I can think of

[Mitch23]

Decided for me - I took Michelle as a femme version of Mike and a dear friend of mine (GG) shortened it to Mitch - and it fitted me perfectly!

Mitch

[SatinDoll00]

I took about 100 names and threw this one out of a hat!

No, I didn't.

Did anyone ever play the game Diablo?? (any PC games in the group?)

Well...here it is in a nutshell.

A few friends and I decided to try this game on-line. In the game, you have the choice of 3 characters...two males and a female. Well...I agreed to 'settle' for the girl character (like I wouldn't have picked her anyway...GIRLS RULE!)

So, I had to decide on a name. What else would you call a badass girl with a bow and arrow that could cast magic spells?? Morgana (after the Arthurian legend...Morgana LeFay!)

Well...for me, this was basically the first time I was 'out'!!

I could be Morgana and no one could ridicule me, because I was the most powerful of the little group! Let me tell you honey, Morgana whipped many-a-ass!!

So...when I decided that I wanted to chose a CD name, I naturally went back to my only 'public' experience as a fem. Morgana got shortened to Morgan (who uses Morgana any more if you aren't of French descent?)

Morgan <---formerly known as Morgana

When I first presented myself dressed to my wife, she said I was remarkably pretty and said I looked like a Jennifer. She also said I reminded her of Katherine Ross.

Most anyone that has seen me dressed says I look like a Lane Bryant. Oh no, wait...that is where they ask me if I shop

Morgan <---shops at Lane Bryant!

[Rosaliy Lynne]

My name means 'A beautiful composition/creation'. I've always loved the name, so I kept it.

the heading for this message says it all but the system would not let me leave nothing after the quote.

[Ermintrude]

Spur of the moment.

Having finally decided to join, I was asked for a name and was totally unprepared! I tried quickly to think of a name that wouldn't already be in use, and "Ermintrude" was the first name that came to mind.

The only Ermintrude I know was a cow in the children's TV programme "The Magic Roundabout". She always had a flower in her mouth, and was a bit dippy.

Probably a bad choice, since I'm neither bovine nor (I hope) dippy - but I'm stuck with it now. And to be honest, it's kind of grown on me.

[Billijo49504]

It's what my mom would have named me, if I'd been a girl.....BJ

[lisa1965]

I have always liked the name Lisa and if i had been born the right sex i hope i would have Had that name.

[Rachana]

Thanks Rosaliy. Appreciate the complement.

[SweetCaroline]

It's what my mom would have named me, if I'd been a girl.....BJ

In that case, my name would have been Jennifer. LOL!

[27th Jennifer]

Ana Banana. It rhymes, not to mention the pun.
I prefer "AH-nuh Buh-NAH-nuh"

[ronni]

Charlene has my favorite response.
Mine doesn't make as much sense.
I'm Ronna's evil twin sister.
Ronna got her name from an online single's ad.
I didn't have any really great ideas so I stole her identity.
I pretended to be Ronna but people caught on so I had to go incognito.
I changed my hair color and my name and now nobody knows but me.

[MarinaTwelve200]

Well, my first name could not take well to feminization (no equivalent I know of) So I decided to use a fem version of my middle name---but I didnt like "Martha" or "Margret"---I needed a "M A R" name----My sister is Mary so that was out. One day I saw star trek episode and Troi's real name is MARINA--- I sorta like her look, and the name sounded good, so I took it.

Next, The web server just wouldnt take "Marina." but rather something like "Marina 475868" I didnt need to remember THAT big of a number, so I decided to SPELL the number--as in "MarinaOne"---but I wasnt the only Marina that had that idea--I eventually ended up with "MARINA TWELVE"

[SIZE="3"]I am amazed at the variety of different ways at which you have arrived at your names. They are all very interesting.

Here is my story.

As an adolescent/young-adult, my first three girlfriends were named:

1. Lori
2. Laurie
3. Lorrie

My ex once observed that I "must have a 'thing' for that name.

Do the math.
