First off, I didn't put this in the sticky female name thread because that seems more for telling other about your female name whereas this particular topic is about my lack of one.
So more or less, I've only been out in public a few times En Femme but dress up at home whenever I feel like it. My wife, a bit of time after I first told about my CDing, asked me if I had a female name. We've talked about it a lot and came up with a few ideas but nothing sounds quite right to me. I can't imagine calling myself by any of them (even my male name is weird to me, maybe just names in general). There are so many pretty names out there but none seem right for me.
I know most other CDer's went with what their mothers would've called them if they'd been born with the opposite gender or named themselves after an important woman or rolemodel in their lives but my mother had some awful names for me and other than my wife, I have no important women or rolemodels in my life.
So I'm stuck and would like some advice on how to pick a suitable name.
Also, when I'm out En Femme I'm even even more shy than I am when dressed in drab. Which is to say very, very, incredibly shy. It's not like I'm going to introduce myself to every stranger I meet and I rarely talk much at all (I prefer to listen). So if I'm not introducing myself at social gatherings is a female name even necessary?
Thanks for your responses in advance :)
