Femme Name Choices

[ShirleyN]

Hi girls, Just wondering if any of you have ever had more than one female name. I personally have had two or three (Andrea, Catherine and now Shirley, of course.)

:straightface:

[rockerreds]

At one time I was Kristine but I changed to the more Scandinavian Krista.

[josie_S]

I've had the same name but spelled differently (Jocelyn, Josie, and now Josslyn) but I've thought about changing it many times. I just can't choose a good substitute!

[Beverley Sims]

I have been Beverley even before I called myself anything but "Late for dinner". :-)

[Cheryl T]

Mine was changed a few times until about 12 years ago when I decided this one was right for me.

[Jayne44C]

No this it.

[Charlotte7]

As it happens Charlotte is a name I picked for myself when I recently joined the forum. My other name, the one I've had for 30 years, was chosen by me and my SO and remains private and between just us. It seemed wrong to use it here.

[Christine Eriksson]

My first name was Sandra, I still like that but don't relate to it. My present name was chosen kind of randomly. I realized years later that Christine is my mothers second name and that felt awkward. Not good.

[Robertacd]

I have always used the feminine of my given name. But I have often considered changing it to Rochelle because I have always thought that was such a pretty name.

[DIANEF]

For a number of years up to 1989 I called myself Julie. Diane came after meeting my wifes friend of the same name. The 'F' is actually for Fischer, I thought in the event I ever needed a surname (not so far) that that had nice ring to it.

[Nikki A.]

I picked Nikki after meeting a woman named Nicoletta and fell in love with the name. Lately since I have been going out in public and sometimes attend as either my male of female side I am thinking of going to Vikki since it is the female variation of my male name so as to avoid confusion.

[Micki_Finn]

Batted around a few before making a decision, but have never actually used other names.

[Susan Smith]

I picked the name because I like it and only for this forum. After a couple of years I googled it and didn't like what I found, but decided not to change it. I hope no one is offended by my choice.

[kinky_caitlin]

I went by Sara for alittle while before I settled on Caitlin.

[Rachael Leigh]

Yes, years ago I went with Heather, but changed to a name closer to my male name
Rachael

[tifftg]

Initially I was Susan however I have been Tiffany for a couple decades now.

[Alice B]

Chose Alice in reference to Alice on the Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason... saying - "Alice, one of theses days..Pow right to the moon."

[Leelou]

Interesting thread. Like Charlotte, I picked Leelou for my name here. I thought it was pretty and unique. For me personally, the name doesn't have a great deal of significance. I just need to be addressed by a name that is appropriate for the gender that I'm presenting. I also like Heather and Christine and will use those as well.

[Bobbi46]

I started with longlegs in the beginning simply because I do have long legs but ver soon became uncomfortable and changed it to Bobbi which is true to my self and one which I will keep.

[Kendalli]

I have tossed around many names but nothing has ever felt right yet. For this forum I just used my last name since it can double as a girls first name also.

[Ceera]

I started with and primarily use Ceera Murakami as my femme name. It is both the name of a female gaming character of mine that I used for over a decade prior to expressing my femme side in real life, and a legally registered 'assumed business name' for me, since I do some work under that name.

In the historical reenactment society that I participate in - the Society or Creative Anachronism, or SCA -my name is "Katherine Fox".

And in some cases I just use my given birth name, "Jay", which is a unisex name anyway.

[K8astrophe]

Early on, I went by Simone, but then met a real life Simone that annoyed me to no end, and I could no longer mention the name without thinking of her. Changed a decade or so ago and never looked back. Kate was a better fit, I'm used to having a very common four letter name. Also, I played a lot of games for a long time so K8Astrophe was a good screen name, and descriptive of my attempts to live a double life.

[Kas]

I'm lucky my name can work as a boy and girl name when shortened. So it was easy for me.

[Ineke Vashon]

Originally I was going to go with Ellie, until I noticed how many Ellies there were already. So changed to Ineke which is relatively unique in these parts. Vashon (an island in Puget Sound) because I thought I had to have a last name. I still may switch to Ellie. Fickle woman:eek:.

Ineke

[Jillian Faith]

I always liked Debbie and used that name for several years. Somewhere around 2005 while out shopping with my wife (I was in male mode) we got in a discussion about if I had a femme name. When I told her Debbie she looked at me and said "You don't look like a Debbie you look like a Jill". Who was I to argue I've been Jill ever since.

[aprilgirl]

I've gone by only Kimberly for thirty years, ever since I came out to a gf, and had a purpose to have a feminine name. When I joined the forum, I included my birth month in my user name, so naturally many here assume it's April. It's fine either way.:)

[IleneD]

When I joined the forum, it literally required a name; some sort of femme name naturally. I had not had one nor thought of one before joining.
I knew I had an "inner woman", a feeling of wanting to be female but in my life I never assigned a name to that girl, or thought of her as a separate being living in me with my male self, or even as a a girl trapped in the male body. My sense of femininity was always just me being Me.

I chose my forum name in a bit of haste, yet smartly picked ILENE, because Ilene is part of of mother's name (bless her soul). Loved my Mom, of course, and loved her maiden names. It seems a good natural choice
NOW...... that I've been living in serious CD for a long time and using that time to truly consider where all this Crossdressing and Wanting to Be A Woman is taking me, I have also thought about my name in case I elect to fully transition. [It would create a lot of problems at this stage of my happy life, but it would be me, and it wouldn't be easy.]
My real assigned birth name is Tom (or Thomas, actually). All during my childhood I was Tommy, though as an adult I got away from that. If for no other reason than the natural flow of Names, and the ease with which I could respond to my "natural" name, I might consider going by Tommy (again); probably spelled Tommi.
Though, I absolutely love going by ILENE right now. It tends to fill me with the spirit of my Mom. Not a bad thing.

[BrendaPDX]

Really liked the name "Brenda" when I heard it, and it's a "B" name helps me remember it under pressure:)

[marsha leanne]

i first chose Melita but discarded that when the coffee filter of that name showed up, then moved to Melina, which would have been my daughters name had i had a girl. i let the whole thing slide until Marsha popped in. don't know how or why, as i never watched the t v show with that character. It just seemed right and it stuck. Leanne is a warp of my middle name. I still retain the original initials of my given name.

[Beauty Parlor Bev]

When I was young, I remember my family telling me that if I had been born a girl, my name would have been "Beverly" which happens to share a first letter with my guy name so my signatures (which is pretty much illegible other than the first letters of each name) match and it gives me a tie to my parents, which can be a struggle for me sometimes. I also did not want an overly flamboyant name (no examples so as not to offend) that would make it more difficult to blend into society en femme, i.e. "Misty Reign is here for her 3:00 hair appointment" sounds sexy as hell, but a little over the top for everyday use!

[Becky Blue]

I have always been and will always be Rebecca/Becky/Bec never any question ....

[sometimes_miss]

I took the feminine version of the male name that I would have chosen for myself. Then used the cute nickname for it.

[Krisi]

I am "Krisi" here. I wish I could get my wife to call me by a feminine name, any name, when I'm dressed but so far, she hasn't taken the hint. Even a feminine version of my male name would be fine.

[JoanneB]

One day about 40 years ago, my wife asked me what female name I would like to use. I simply said Joanne and that is the name that I have been ever since.

[Aunty_Hazel]

An old girlfriend used to say she loved my hazel eyes, so it seemed a natural choice when I needed a name.
I made it Hazel Woods when I needed a surname or Hazel Twiggs when I was feeling flighty.
Now I am fast approaching fifty, and Hazel's inner voice sounds like my irrepressible and irresponsible Aunty Joan from my teenage years; so I guess it is time for Hazel to be an Aunty too.
