How did you choose your Femme name?/Picking your t girl name

[myMichelle]

This is sort of related to Jen's post concerning middle names, but how did everyone come up with their Female names?

I named myself after the first GG I had a crush on way back iin the fourth grade. I wish I could tell her how much she meant to me.:)

[Siobhan Marie]

I've always liked the name Anna, the Anna's that I've known over the years have been really sweet and I hope that I can live up to that.

:hugs: Anna x

[annekathleen]

....... a girl i once knew.......

[Jillian310]

I took my name from the movie Hope And Glory, which I adore! Jillian was a main character. Also, Jill is linked with my drab name. Can you guess what that is?

[Deborah]

Deborah = What my mother would have named me had i come out correctly
Leanne = Girl i used to know when i was younger that i really liked
Raines = because it always rains in Washington and i don't want to use my "rare" last name.

[Ms. Donna]

Donna : Liked the name
Lynn : Sounded good with Donna
Matthews : My 'real' middle name is Matthew

Love & Stuff,
Donna

[Tina Dixon]

I picked Tina when I was a teenager, it's close to my real name, just thought if I was a girl that would be it.

My last name I ran a poll here and had the girls pick it for me, check the link.

Amy. . . . . . I always wanted to be the dirty lil cheerleader in the back of the bus.

[Julie York]

I have no idea..fate will tell.

[MissLauraB]

Laura is my first girl friend that I knew. I wish that when I met her 20 years ago I would have been truthfull to her. We might still be together today. I still have thoughts and feelings for her but I have not been in contact with her since 1987. I use to live in West Bend,Wi and she lived in Slinger Wi.

[Katiegirl]

My first daughter was called Katie she died many years ago - this is my way of remembering her

[elizabeth nicole]

I used two old girlfriends names also is ,the name of my twin who died at three days old. Like to think it keeps her around.

[VERONICARH]

I JUST LIKED THE NAME, no other reason.

[racquel]

Also after a soap character,Racquel the barmaid on coronation street.
I think she spells it different but that is how it sounds,rack-ell.

[Byllie]

I had originally thought of using Eva, which is one of my GG-Grandmothers, but then Alexa came to mind.:happy:

[jennifer marie]

Mom always said if I were a girl she would have named me Jennifer. Wife and I picked Marie to go with my first name.

[ChristieS]

I didn't much say in the matter, it was given to me.

[ava_bruna]

I wanted something simple and easy to spell:) yet different,not to many Ava's around, I was thinking of the one who got fried cause her new hubby was Adorf. Rather think of her as just Ava. huggie's, Ava Marie :)

[Rebecca C]

i picked my name from a girl i had a crush on in high school

[Kenix]

I want a name that is not common. Kenix is perfect.:)

I don't have to add anything to the screen name is an added bonus.

[btmgrl6]

Mine came from my gm name


Steph= steven

[KarenNY]

My mother actually gave it to me -- she told me that Karen Marie was the name she had selected for me if I had been born female. Mom was accepting and supportive of my dressing throughout my teen years, and would call me Karen when I was dressed en femme.
Sometimes I wish I had picked a different, more femme-sounding name (to me, anyway) like Melissa or Lisa, but Karen always seemed to fit me fine, and it's nothing like my male name...

[gennee]

I created Gennee (pronounced 'Jenny') from the longer name of Genevieve. I have always loved this name and it's not a name you often hear.

Gennee

[mskilmer]

I heard this great thing on TV the other day ... how to find your porn name. You use your first pet's name for your first name, and you use the name of the first street you lived on as your last name. My first pet was a dog named Ginger, and my street was Newcombe ... that makes me Ginger Newcombe. I love it!

OK ... if your first pet was a doberman named Max, you might have a problem. But it worked for me ...

Ginger

[Alison Michelle]

Here is a link to a post a few months ago with my reason and several others. http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21272

Hope you all have a nice weekend!

[Connieminiskirts]

Maybe this is strange but my exact middle sister, gave me my name when I was a baby. My 5 sisters dressed me up when I was little and I kinda lived as a girl until I was 5 and going into grade school

[jen]

Just always liked the name, Don't know I always got a kick how Forrest Gump said Jenny

[Cherry Lynn]

I used to go by the name of my first girlfriend but several years ago my wife and I decided I needed a new name. We discussed several and settled on Danielle which is a variation of her name and when I order something mail order or use it if the wrong person sees it they will just think it was an error on the part of the one spelling it. I also use the same middle initial so our initials are the same.

[Sarah Smile]

Well, I'm still adjusting to the realization that I am TG and actually, before joining this board, it had never occurred to me to choose a femme name for myself. When I joined, I couldn't think of anything that really fit me, so out of frustration, I chose "Amber Dawn" which are the first and middle name of a girl I knew and greatly admired when I was growing up. I figured I would probably adjust to it after awhile, but I haven't really. I've recently begun trying to decide on a new name and from the list I've developed, my favorite so far is "Sarah". Maybe I'll change my screenname to some variation of that... I don't know yet.

[beauty_babe]

I chose my femme name by 1st choosing Jasmine from a celeb that i like, the surname from 1 of my best friends surname & that same friend helped me to choose my middle name

Jasmine Amelia Barry

[Annesah]

In memory of my day care pre-school Super Girl and friend in later years, Anne.

[ariel_cd]

In my copy of Shakespeare's [I]The Tempest[I], Ariel is described as, "an airy sprite". Yep that's me, says I. :D
With the clarity of hindsight, I probably should have added an 'a' to make it Ariela.

[Jemanda]

Mine is made up from Jenni and Amanda. Jenny and all combinations thereof has always been a favourite name, and Amanda I have also always liked. The result is Jemanda.

[michelleliz]

Michelle some on that works at the same place I do
Elizabeth some one that works at the same place i do and I like it , Go' with Michelle.

Belleshire (This is funny) I was belching and I just thought of belsher then it developed into Belleshire

[joanlynn28]

I just use the feminine form of my name John = Joan. My middle name I picked Lynn it just flows out right.

[Kate Simmons]

Sat down and came up with a bunch of names and wrote them all down years ago in a note book. Much the same way that Gene Roddenberry came up with names for his characters in Star Trek. I'm on my third name from the list. My name changes to reflect the growth of my feminine personality and as to what is the most appropriate for who I want to be at the time. It has a lot of meaning for me. Ericka

[kay_ewinguk]

My name i created in 2 parts, Kay was simply just from the fact "K" was supposed to mean unknown, which is the answer normally to why do I need a Girls name!!! Plus I do like the cider of the same name, and if you read the small print on the bottle/can it explains more about the meaing of "K"


Secondly Ewing, is an attempt to work a Surname as an anagram of "enigma" One that is puzzling, ambiguous, or inexplicable. I struggled to come up with a suitable name so ended up dropping the "a", and with a bit of poetic license turned the "m" upside down, and into a "w", and created "Ewing"....

There.....Simple heh!!!!!!

Kay.

[Krystenw]

It is the name that was on my birth certificate. I was supposed to be a girl. They spelled my name in school differently and I didn't know it was spelled wrong until I joined the navy and then my mother had to send all sorts of paperwork to the state to have it spelled correctly. I just use the way she spelled it initally.

[Michelle8]

I thought it was a very feminine name.Plus i too had
a crush on a girl by the same name

[trannie T]

Judy Peterson was my fourth grade teacher, she was a good teacher and died way too young. I have always liked the name Judy.

[avawho]

Well, I really never worried much or even though about a name... one of my GG girlfriends pinned Ava on me and it kind of stuck:o

Cheers
Ava

[Monica Marie]

Believe it or not I'm named after the Nun that was my 4th grade teacher. I was a real sissy and she took up for me. I had an amazing crush on her and she new it. She also sat next to me the first time I rode a roller-coaster. A few years later she gave up her vows and left the convent. When I was 17 I saw her by the pool at a friends house and she was a knockout. As you can see I still have a crush on her!

[Aynthem]

Well.. I've chosen Ayn becasue its the name of my favorite writer.

I've been using the screen name Aynthem, which is a pun on my favorite book of her's Anthem, for years. I used it here as well. Eventually when I decided to give myself a femme name it was the perfect choice.

[Jennaie]

It went something like this: I wanted to join the forum, It said enter your name, "the name you will be know as on the forums", I typed Jen, it said, sorry loser, that name is already taken, would you like to be Jen3955867, I typed Jennifer, it said, sorry that name is already taken, two time loser, would you like to be Jennifer44496968308503850385083508. I typed Jennaie, it said, " We have a winner!" your now Jennaie.

Then it said, " Please be advised Jennaie that your not allowed to enter the forums unless your wearing panties", I thought, I'm way ahead of you on that one. And Jennaie I am, I think.

[Bernice]

My SO was nicknamed "Henry", and her sister was "George". For awhile they called me "Gueniviere", but it didn't last.

My real first and middle names have no femme versions, so I researched thousands of names, to try to find names that used most of the same letters, in similar order. I also took my ancestral lineage into account. "Bernice Noreen" was the end result.

[Drucilla]

My name is based on a character in a book that I like very much.
The character, Drucilla Quinn, was a young, smart, strong woman.
She was described as tall, slim, short dark hair with amazing eyes and a face that could be on the cover of magazines. In the book she was constantly overcoming challenges to live her life as she wanted , not as others wanted her to. She was also incredibly sexy --in a demure way.
What more could a guy wish for as a role model for our feminine side ?

[Brie]

Bree Daniel was a call girl, played by Jane fonda, in the movie Klute. I loved the name but changed the spelling.

[Sarah Rabbit]

When I was growing up, I always liked Julie and Cathy as names. However when I accepted who I was, these names just did not suit me. I spent a lot of time wondering what would work. Sarah just kept comming back time and time again. I now wish I had chosen a middle name as well but it seems a little late now.

Sarah R. :bunny:

[KellyCD]

Kelly was the first girl i ever had a crush on back in 1st grade.
I liked the name and it stuck with me.


I have tought of a new name, like maybe brooke something.

[Kathryn Philips]

Although been a CD since age of 5, I never had a female name until I turned 40. This arose when I decided to join another CD/TV/TG forum on the net. My "surname" is derived from male first name and 'Kattie' just came to me there and then. I don't know why, but its feels right for me. We are very lucky, unlike GGs, we can choose our own name. Incidentally, the rather unusual double "T" in the spelling of my first name is because that name/surname combination was already taken as a Yahoo email address.

xxx
Kattie

[Jenn2716]

Actually, I don't particularly like my femme name. I chose it because it has the same first letter as my male name. I've stuck with it, but have never really been comfortable with it. Oh, well. No point in changing it now.

[deana cd]

At one time I worked with a woman named Deana. She was smart, sexy, and very gay. In short, all the things I would wish to be if I had been born a girl!

[dancer1]

I love the sound of it is my wife middle name i dont call her by it cause she said i answer for her LOL:happy:

[JudyCDTV]

I took my femme name from a former boss at Revlon and it was very close to my masculine name.

[Sandy2628]

It was a nick name given to me when I was three days old. Been called Sandy all my life. Do not look like my real name.

[saturnion]

It's the female verson of my drab name.

[SimiCD11]

It was a name i always like - Tina!!!

[Edwina]

I feminised my first names and liked the sound of Edwina better.

[Clare]

I chose Clare because it is popular in my Family ancestry and I love the name - it just feel it's right for me!

[Esther]

My choice was easy--I named myself after an aunt (Esther Anne--often just Annie) who was my role model. My goal is to be a cool as she is.

[Dawn]

After the first girl I had a crush on. A beautiful redhead in a skimpy white bikini who my parents used to pull around on our ski boat when we were on vacation.

And now all these years later I own a white bikini myself!


Dawn

[Raychel]

Just an extension of my given name Ray-chel.
I have come up with a last name that I am happy with yet. For now I am using Drescher

[~Dee~]

i cheated.
i didnt actually change my name or choose another.
i kept my male name, but when we started going to support groups a while ago, i thought it was an idea to use a different name just in case..
so, my first initial is D .. my mother used to call me DeeDee when i was younger .. and my friends are slack and most of them just call me D... so, Dee it was.

but i still go by my usual name.
its funny really, i used to hate it ... now .. it seems just so much more fitting .. i dont think i could go by another name .. it would seem so wrong.
though, i dont mind people calling me D ... cause i know its still part of my name. :happy:

[~Kitty GG~]

Don't want to hi-jack here..

But why is it too late for any of you to add a middle name or change a femme name that you're unhappy with?

People do it all the time.

I wouldn't encourage anyone to change it like their underwear.. sorry.. panties.. :D But why not please yourself in such a simple way?

If this is a hi-jack.. please delete..

L&H

[Paula G]

My name is just a feminine form of the male name usually associated with my given name. The "G" is for Graham, which sounds like a good last name to go with Paula (not my real last name).

I recently asked my parents what I would have been named if I were born a girl, and was told it would have been either Rachel or Deborah. Maybe I'll add one of those names as a middle name in the future.

You crack me up, Kitty. But I do agree with you.

[amanda540300]

My name came from a song from one of my favorite movies, White Christmas.

[KateLongman27]

First Name: Kate because I always liked the name Kate, I don't know why

Surname: Longman because I didn't want to use my real surname and Longman has a ring to it especially when you combine it with Kate.

And hence Kate Longman was created.

[Helen in OK]

I was trying to come up with a feminine name for me. I tried the name (Jennifer Renee) I would have given to my daughter, if I had been lucky enough to have had a girl, but it didn't quite work. I went through a lot of names, and one day I said Helen, and it felt so good, so comfortable. I never tried another name.

Helen in OK

[Tiana]

I love two names, Tina and Tania so Tiana seemed the right name, don't know if it exists as a real name, perhaps someone knows a Tiana?

[Dagny]

It seems that Aynthem (post #45 in this thread) and I have the same favorite author.

Dagny was the heroine in the novel, "Atlas Shrugged". A decisive, no B/S type of gal that I admired greatly.

Yup, I'll admit it, I stole her name!

[Angie G]

After 2 GGs 1st was Angie Dickinson theactress the 2nd wea after a GG I knew 30 years ago she worked in a doctors office oldre but kinda hot :hugs:
Angie G.

[Angie G]

Felicia was that Emma Sands :hugs:
Angie G.

[ranma 1/2]

I got my name from a cartoon character.

Ranma 1/2 is manga character who fell into a cursed spring while training in china. the spring he fell into was called "Spring of the drowned girl".

Now when ever Ranma Saotome is splashed with cold water he is transformed into a girl version of himself.

The Meaning Behind the Name

Ranma can mean "chaotic or reckless horse" which emphasizes his brash personality. Saotome means "fast/quick maiden/virgin" which is a reference to his transformation into his female side.

[DAVIDA]

Took my name and added an "A". Real creative huh?

[susancheerleader]

This is sort of related to Jen's post concerning middle names, but how did everyone come up with their Female names?

I named myself after the first GG I had a crush on way back iin the fourth grade. I wish I could tell her how much she meant to me.:)


To tell the truth. This is how I got my name too. I had a huge crush on a girl in the 7th grade. Her name.... was Susan.
Plus, I have a weakness for Cheerleaders.....
Put the two together and you gat SusanCheerleader. :)

[Farrah Lynn]

I changed a couple of letters on my given name to come up with my CD name.

[Jacqueline]

My GF chose it after we discussed a few possibilities

[ColleenCD]

Colleen is the name of a girl I had a crush on in 7th grade.

[CandaceLace]

I started with an alternative to my name Randy to Candy because my ex wife said I looked so sweet as a woman but felt it was too filmy so it became Candace and the middle was my GFs choice though going to be Rose soon :)

[cutechloe]

Sad to say it but my favorite femme name for myself seems to change with the cycles of the moon. Names like Chloe, Cassie and Danielle really feel good but I am too indecisive.

[Lois Page]

Lois Page comes from an atttractive teacher (Lois) I had in high school, while Page comes from my favorite model, Bettie.
Lois

[Sasha Anne Meadows]

Hi Girls!

I know this was a topic of discussion before, but I have been giving it some addtional thought lately, expecially after receiving a few compliments on my name from participants in this forum.

Our boy names are given to us at birth, even sometimes before, and we spend our entire lives matching our persona with this name. On the other hand, our t girl names are something that eveoles to meet our femals persona after it emerges. In a sense, our t girl names create a better identity for us because they are chosen to reflect who we are.

I chose the name Sasha because the first time I saw myself in the mirror, fully enfemme, the person looking back out at me was Sasha. I didn't know anyone else by that name but the name struck me immediately and I have felt confortable with it ever since. I added my middle name, Anne, to emphasize my female state, since Sasha can also be a male name. My last name, Meadows, was easy. It is the English translation of a foreign name that sound much more harsh.

So that's my story. How about other girls out there?

Sasha Anne Meadows

[Jolene]

My name being Joe, Jolene is the twin sister I never had. Now I feel she has been living inside me all of these years after all.
.......... Jolene :)

[shawnaraylynn]

I took my middlenames femmed them and it sounded good ;)

[Liz]

Somtimes I wounder we we need a Fem name but i do understand it and use one. My name is one that reminds of a special lady in my life.

[Andrea_cd]

I took Andrea from a very sweet friend of mine , she doesnt know about me but has always been there with kindness and friendship:hugs:

[samantha#1]

Always loved the name and also the name of a very dear girl I could talk openly with in high school without any concern that she would divulge to anyone else. Do not like my name shortened.
Samantha

[angelfire]

Back in grade school I had a crush on girl who's name was jessica. Then again in junior highschool, there was another girl I liked. Then In highschool. And now in college. Unfortunately, they were (and are) all taken :(

But anyway, I also like the sound of the name, so thats how I came up with it.

[TexasBG]

This is an interesting question. It seems to me that the name Jennifer has always been in my head. It's a good correlation to my male name but I couldn’t tell you where it came from. Since I'm always in some kind of minor trouble, in my head I hear the name Missy much more often.

I thought the man who remembered his daughter after her death by carrying on her name was quite profound. That is a true nod to the power of parents to see their children into the future at all costs.

[TexasBG]

Sad to say it but my favorite femme name for myself seems to change with the cycles of the moon. Names like Chloe, Cassie and Danielle really feel good but I am too indecisive.
I couldn't begin to tell you why, but my bet is you are a Cassie. It's a very self-assured name with just enough innocence and naiveté to be fun at the same time...

[theresa]

I wanted to find a name that best bridged my male and female identities. Theresa seemed to be the perfect fit.

[Blonde]

Mine came about because I needed a name in a CD chatroom, and since my hair colour is blond........

[Honey Lynn]

Well originally I always referred to myself as Rhonda Lynn but when I waded into the shallow end of the forums pool there were a few Rhonda's floating and bobbing about. Not wanting to add any confusion I thought and puzzled and puzzed, had a few donuts, and came up with Honey Lynn, but I got the cutest little nickname of Honey Bunny beacuse for my avatar I had created this totally cool pic with my face plastered onto a Playboy Bunny's body, which turned out to be like totally the wrong thing to do because a lot of people thought that was my real body, as if, I wish, not even on a good day!!!! In all reality I look more like Bill Murray in drag, and not the younger version of him either. Okay Honey's getting really boring by now, so I'll go for now.

P.S. This is my first post in like totally months:sad:

[melanieee]

my name is my baby sisters,when i was dressed up with a wig and makeup for the 1st time I looked in the mirror and saw my sister Mel looking back at me. the resembalance was amazing. She is not aware of my CDing.

[Kimberly]

Kimberley -- The first village I grew up in... first crossdressing memories.

[SallyBowles]

I needed a name when joining here and it was the first thing to pop into my head. It’s from the movie “Cabaret” for the way the character dressed, not her behavior. The original Goth Glam Girl a la ‘30’s style.

I never felt the need for a feminine avatar. My given name can be used androgynously and it is something I do love…

[Robin Leigh]

Robin & Leigh are my middle names. I often used Robyn as my femme name in the past, but I mostly just use the feminine form of my first name these days. I find that makes things a bit easier for my friends when they visit while I'm dressed, since I do prefer to be addressed with a femme name when en femme. If someone accidently starts to say my first name in masculine style, they can convert it to the feminine form on the second syllable. :)

Robin.

[siennacd]

Like the name and I wanted something a little different.

[Daphnie-Duck]

Daphnie is one of my favorite and most frequently used characters in my little Desktop Tales photo stories (plus, I've always liked the name).

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Scarletdown/RT3B/MWD-Tahoe-BunnySuit-2.jpg

She's the one in the green tunic.

And, I'm rather fond of Disney's ducks (especially Daisy), hence, the name Daphnie-Duck, or shortened, Ducky.

quack! :heehee:

[sami1952]

i pick janie mostly because it seems to fit me
