Femme Name/How Did You Decide?

[CarrieAnneEvers]

How did you come up with your femme name? I have used several:

Carolyn (Carrie): The name of my first wig.

Erica: Just added an "a" to my name

Natalie: The name my mom picked for me if I had been a girl.

[Xandra]

I have always liked the name Alexandra and used to walk to school with a girl of the same name (she liked to be called Alex). I would have used the full name on joining the forum but it - and Alex - were already taken!

[Heather_Marie]

I though about it for a long time and my SO also helped and we came up with Heather. I like that name it fits me great.

[summermarie]

I came up with the name Summer Marie because I really like the name Summer and Marie is the name of one of my old girlfriends. I did not choose her name because of her BUT I thought that name went really well together with Summer.

[Carroll]

My wife gave it to me

[Zee]

My wife gave it to me

Diddo... and a lot of people call me that now too, though they don't know why.

[Paula G]

Just took the feminine form of the name usually connected with my first name.

[valery]

I was searching on the internet to find a name for me with the idea that it must be somewhere. This took me 'bout a week and I went through all those websites you can find for parents looking for names for their children. I couldn't find anything right and was really in a bad mood but then I had the idea to search for unisex-names (as I see myself as 'inbetween') and I found this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisex_name

When I went through the list of names and read the name 'valery' I was killed and at once I knew without a doubt that this was/is my name.

[dakota_ann69]

I had the idea to search for unisex-names (as I see myself 'inbetween')

I ditto with valery I searched for unisex names and when I came across Dakota I felt that it fit it is an indian name meaning friend or ally. As for the middle name it is my SO middle name.

:hugs:

Dakota

[Hermione Simpson]

hermione because of my favourite harry potter character, and my surname simpson, because it's my mums maiden name

[connie d]

i guess i aways like connie stevens and a few othetr notales so it just happen without me relizeing i was connie

[Rachell]

Just liked Rachell the most, used to know a very nice girl in grade school by that name but only she had one L.
R.:hugs:

[Cyndie]

Same here, I knew a cute girl in elementary school, wish I was as cute as her. She spelled it Cindy, I thought I'm a different kind of girl so the spelling change.

TTFN

Cyndie

[PortiaHoney]

Portia because of Portia De Rossi (also from some chick who played a guy in Will Shakespear play- that's how I feel some times)(also because it sounds like Porsche), Honey because it's sweet. This is my first reply..... scary. Been CD'ing for years and never had femme name till now.

[Tina Dixon]

Even as a little boy I knew if I was a girl I would be Tina :D

[Ashly]

I got mine from mom..as I said earlier, she wanted to have another daughter. To my understanding, Ashly is anyways a unisex name

[SANDRA MICHELLE]

My wife and I came up with it together, nobody in the family has this name so we figured it would be safe if I ever got found out and also the family needed a Sandra. The Michelle is femme for my middle name and has always been a favorite of mine, I would have preferred to be just Michelle but we have several of them in the family.

[Rosaliy Lynne]

Just add "ice":happy:
And you look kewl too.

The first girl name I ever used, back in high school, came from a key ring some woman lost. Rosa Lee. But that wasn't me.

There is a long history for my name available on my personal site (would I be able to post that address here? Perhaps I will and see what happens.) but the first name I used as a 'girl' online was developed with the help of a girl friend for a fantasy role play game based on the Dragon Riders of Pern stories by Ann McCaffrey.

If the moderators don't bleep it - you can read my name history, and more about me, at http://home.earthlink.net/~rlynne9/

[joann07]

I knew a lot of pretty girls with the same name so it stuck with me.

[Darlene-VA]

My parents always said if they had a girl they would have named her Darlene, so I did it for them

[Amber CD]

I chose "Amber Marie" because it just seemed to flow with my name.

[Kellicd]

I picked this name because it's the name my mother was going to name me if I'd been born a girl. :love:

[Elsbeth]

I don't really know. It has just always been my female name. I honestly can't remember when I started using it.

El

[Charlene Ogden]

Hi all,
This is a fun question I love asking every girl I meet. How did you choose your femme name?
The process at FINALLY arriving at a name was one that took years for me.
I first started out as Tammy in homage to my 7th grade band teacher whose nyloned feet had me in total awe.
After a few years, I realized that there were a bazillion CD's called Tammy.
I felt that a new name a bit closer to my own (guy) name would feel more personal so I chose Charlene. True, many CD's have that name but, who cares cause it's close to my own. I made it my own and stuck to it.
My last name Ogden, is in tribute to a girl I went to high school with many, many years ago. She was a kind soul with the most wonderfully hosed feet I'd ever seen.
She sat either infront of me or beside me in many classes throughout HS. I was transfixed on her impeccable toes and soles in sheer nylon. Her image fueled my nylon/foot fetish which later led to my crossdressing.
I'd love to hear everyone's response.

[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...:tongueout

[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"

[camera_laura]

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:
Lori
Laurie
Lorrie

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

Do the math.

:tongueout

[NewBetty]

I needed a handle when I joined this forum.
Betty... you know:slang for cute girl
just popped out.

[BarbaraTalbot]

I needed a new email to with great trepidation ask for and get some feedback on the look I was trying to put together for the first time. I decided to think up a femme name and went with the first name that occurred to me with the same initial as my given name. I thought right away of a girl in my 4th grade class named Barbara.

Naturally Barbara was taken on Yahoo. Talbot was the street I lived on at the time, a block away from Barbara's house.

[Rene]

I picked a name that, Like me could be both male and female.

[Debbie47]

I picked Debbie because there were alot of Debbie's I went to school with and I liked a couple of them. When I sold my first home my realtor's name was Debbie. She was very pretty. It was a couple years later that I picked my female name. Sometimes I wish I had thought about it more but I am OK with what I picked. Turned out when I got married (2nd and last time) her name was also Debbie.

That's hilarious only because every time I've played Diablo or Unreal Tournament I pick female avatars/characters. It drives my son crazy but I don't care :)

My history has East European roots, so I had originally thought of name like Katrina or Katriana. But after a bit Kassandra seemed to fit better. Then someone here told me that the name is for a Greek Oracle who couldn't get anyone to believe her. That's just too close to true for comfort. So Kassandra it is.

Kassandra

[KatrinaAshley]

I'm not perfectly content with this one. I always kinda liked Katie and knew a few in school with longer names that contract to this. However that was of course taken so I threw a rather common name on the end. Then decided Katie Ashley sounded too 'rhyme-y', and altered the first half.

It's so hard to choose a name, especially when you want it to be a little more original. Plus I expect Katrina to become less popular for a time due to the hurricane everybody knows about.

[camera_laura]

I was not familiar with that particular slang.

Is that where Boop-e-doop comes from?
