Story behind your femme name?

[Dawn]

Hello all!

Here's a question I've always wanted to ask all the beautiful women on this site. Please forgive me if it's been asked before. Is there any story behind the femme name you now use?

In my case, my first name comes from one of the first girls I ever had a crush on. Her name was Dawn of course and I first saw her while on vacation with my family as a youngster. She was a teenager at the time and always wore and really filled out a skimpy white bikini while skiing or sunning herself on the beach. She had my heart for the whole week we spent at that lake but I was too shy and young at the time to tell her. My last name came alot easier. When I was deciding what name I wanted the girl in me to go by, I just happened to have a copy of the Webster's dictionary in front of me. Waalaa, I became Dawn Webster. I picked Marie, my middle name by just figuring out what flowed with my fist and last names. So there you have it....the story of how Dawn Marie Webster came to being....well at least the name part anyway! LOL

So girls?? Do you have a story about your name??

Hugs. Dawn:happy:

[Christine Davis]

Well... Back when I was born, they couldn't tell the baby's sex beforehand. My mother thought she was going to have a girl so she had picked out "Christine" I found this out in my late 20's (well into my crossdressing phase). After the boom of the internet, forums, blogs, etc., I could not think of a good name. Then it came to me "Why not use the name my mother picked out for me?" and Christine was finally born.

[Dalece]

My name can go either way male or female, my mother named my Dale I just added the ce on the end to give it a more femine twist to it:D. All was wondered why a girl was named the same as me. Dale Evans:thumbsup:.

[Joann0830]

Its funny because I have been asked by my daughter why I chose Joann, well I explained for many years since my birth my Mom always said I should have been a girl. Well I tried the name Josephine for a while but to me it was my name Joseph with the Femineend meaning female. Did not like that so I tried Jo and added part of the name of my Great Great Grandmother who I Really Look like (I Posted her Picture here once)and came up with Joann and middle name Marie. So this is how I am known as Joann Marie when I am out formally.Joann0830:heehee::love:

[Andrea85]

First girl I ever had a crush on. Her name was April. She was gorgeous, and she was the most "developed" too. :)

[Atanna]

I got mine from a character in a book. I needed a name, and just using the fem version of my guy name seemed lame.

[O2B Barbara]

No story here, just always knew I was more of a Barbara than anything else. Besides, depending on my mood, or the wifes, I can be Barbara, Barb or Barbie.

[sissystephanie]

My dear late wife named me Sally shortly after we were married. I had not used a feminine name prior to that. I never was comfortable with Sally, so I wound up being Stephanie. No middle name and my last name has always been what it really is. She also called me Sissy around the house, and I never objected since I felt I was one!

Sissy/Stephanie

Girl on the outside, man underneath.

[Naima]

No story just thought that Naima sounds nice =)

[Tracy_Victoria]

Easy with mine, anyone should be able to work it out.

lol:D:D

[Davinia]

Quite simple and boring. My real name is...... You work it out

[Angela Burke]

I honestly can't remember but I know I've been calling myself Angela since I was a child. I've asked my older sisters and they don't have any explanation either. I didn't have any relations or friends called Angela, and I can't think of any girl heroines in books with the name either (though I'm sure there must be one somewhere). The only explanation I can think of is that I took Angela as my girl name because it had the same first two letters as my boy name.

[sara_also]

While talking with my wonderful wife one day. She said that I should have a fem name. She said she always liked the name Sara..SOOOO That is what my first name became..As for the last name of Also.. I decided that I would be Sara and my male self also..Hence my fem name Sara Also..

[jennifer ann]

When I first started going out I had picked the name Tina. I had used that name for a couple of years then when I went to a holloween party for work dressed fem and couple of the office staff said look just like Jennifer (one of the girls that work there) and it stuck with me ever since.

[Amanda Shaft]

Mine came from A man da! I added the Shaft sir name because their are a lot of Amandas out there and I wanted something punchy and sort of english sixties sounding. Funny thing is although I made it up in the first place I feel its me and would find it hard to change now even if i wanted to. Amanda Shaft is a real person, I am she.
Amanda

[AshleyM]

Mine comes from a cute sweet girl at the bank that has alway been so helpful. It just stood out when I was thinking about it.

[tamarav]

Mine came from the kindest, least judgemental hairstylist I have ever met.

Tami

[Christina Louise]

Christina (originally Christine) froma classmate when aged 10
Louise from Louise Brooks the iconic film star

P.S. there is a recent thread asking exactly the same question:- http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75698

[Carly D.]

I think in my case, my name continues to evolve.. I'm thinking of yet another name change.. I had been talking to my mom and she said she would have named me Marie had I been a girl, so while the first name is taken, Carly, my middle name can easily be changed to Marie.. as far as where did the Carly come from?? that came from a name change a year ago when my original "grrl" name didn't seem to fit the way I thought it would..

[Anna the Dub]

My best friend and I sat down one night (just after I came out to her) with a bottle of wine and a baby names book. We decided to go through it alphabetically but we only got as far as A, as we stumbled across Annabel and both liked it so much, we decided we had a winner. Of course, within weeks it had been shortened to Anna, but I do prefer Annabel. Anyway, it's my legal name now, and I really couldn't imagine being called anything else.

[LisaLedoux]

I chose Lisa simply because I liked it. My last name was chosen to honor a woman I admired. I have used my fem name for so long that I think of it as my real name at times.

[MaidInCan]

Mine (Pamela) came from a neighbor's daughter who was the first girl I had a crush on when I was a child. I really liked the name and very rarely saw it anywhere over the next umpteen years. My avatar is just the name I use for this site.

[Mitch23]

a femme version of my real name which was shortened by a value friend and i liked it so it stuck

mitch

[JoAnnDallas]

I like many others came from an area when the parents had to wait until you were born to find out if they had a boy or a girl. So most parents already had both a boy and girl names picked out. Mine is short for the girl name that mom and dad had picked out for me if I had been born a girl.

[Deborah Jane]

Simple really, it would have been my name if i had been born a girl according to my mum.

[tracigirl_tv]

Early in my educational career, there was a young female student named Tracey who was quite a handful for us authority types.....energy spilling out everywhere, which usually got her in some sort of trouble. She may not have had any clue at the time, but she was incredibly sensusous in an unrefined sort of way. Anyway, I was thinking about a femme name for myself, and I liked the ring of "Traci," which sounded to me femme and playful at the same time.

Middle girl name: Janae. I asked my wonderful gf to suggest a middle name. I like it. (And it keeps my initials intact *lol*)

[Daintre]

The story behind my name, well.....It was a dark and stormy night, there was just me, looking in the mirror, lightening crashing all around. The lights flickered and it came to me...Jenni...yeah that's it...Jenni....I liked it and also took the name of my best friend as my second...Wendy...Goosebumps my friend....it gave me goosebumps. :D

[Barbra_in_Tulsa]

I took mine from the extraordinarily helpful sales girl at Victoria's Secret. She came into the dressing room with me, showed me how my bra should fit, all the things that GG's are taught at an early age. She was awesome. I took her name to honor her and her kind spirit.

[DanaR]

I asked my wife to help with a name and she decided on Dana.

[Sasha Anne Meadows]

When I fiirst saw myself with full makeup I said that's Sasha. Leter I added Anne to make it more fem because Sasha an also be a boy name. Meadows is the English translation of my last name.

Sasha Anne Meadows

[Nicole Erin]

Mlle - just something I added, it means "mademoiselle" in French, which means roughly "young woman"

Erin - Ripped off from my middle name Aaron.
I LOVE "Erin" as a woman name but hate it as a male name.

[Dawn]

WOW! Some wonderful stories ladies! Just amazing how each of us arrived at the names we use today!

Dawn

[DeeAnn]

I went to babynames.com and went through the entire list of female names.

I picked ones I liked. Then I sorted through that list eliminating any names of people my wife and I knew. Then I narrowed the list down to ten names.

I presented the list of names to my wife and she slowly eliminated every name but one. The name she felt most closely matched the woman inside me was the very name that I had picked and not told her. Although Deidra wasn't on the list she selected Dee and promptly informed me that she saw me as Deidra.

The middle name and last name I picked to finalize the process. The full name just feels like me.

[Jaquelyn]

My wife picked mine. She said she wanted to make sure it was a name she liked, so, I'm Jaquelyn.

[Katie Ashe]

Well Dawn, My wife's name is Dawn too :p. I have posted this several times for others like you... I needed a fem name, always hated my real name, threaten my mom for decades I'd change it one day. Needed name from the era of my birth, something normal. I searched from site to site on baby names... I really like Kate Beckinsale, so Katie seemed respectful. Now for a middle name... couldn't find any thing I'd like either, darn baby sites... I came across other teen girls with Ashe as middle or last name, it seems nice and different, as I'm not very traditional. So Katie Ashe was Started. I leagally changed my name this past NOV 07, So Katie Ashe LaPointe is born... :yahoo:

[Margaret]

Had I been born a girl my mum said she would have named me Marie-Louise.
However my femme name came by accident. My wife and I had entered a competition at a local social club. When my name was drawn from the hat, the hostess misread it as Margaret. I was secretly chuffed so I decided to adopt the name even though my wife doesn't know.:love:

[daviolin]

I started a thread on the same subject quite awhile ago. It was fun to read the responses. I'll post on yours also. My given name is David and I wanted to use it in my fem name. I play Violin as a hobby and it is such a beautiful instrament. So I combinded my given name with the violin and DAVIOLIN was born. pronounced ( Da-va-lyn):DDaviolin

[SweetCaroline]

Mine is a really long story, and I've told it before. Basicly, I've had an ideal named "Caroline" or some varition, since I was fourteen years-old.

I didn't have many friends in Junior high, so I spent alot of time daydreaming. In one of them I was a rock star and the Bass guitar player in my band was named Caroline Scott. Another was more of a Middle-Earth Role playing fantasy where my main character hade a cousin named Marline Blushaw, basicly the same character in the rock star fantasy.

Once entering college, I took to writing to express my fanatasys. Realizing she was me, I tried writing a Graphic Novel/ comic book about a typical teen age girl who was also half lion, half young woman. I named her Caroline Anderson.

Years later I wrote it into a novel (unpublished) and added the middle name Emily, after Emily Dickenson, since at the time I was still closeted, and related to her reclusive lifestill.

Caroline Emily Anderson was truely born on July 25, 2007 when I stepped out of a cool dark hotel room and into the warm blazing sunlight of liberty.

I hope that answers you question.

[Genifer Teal]

When I first came on line xx years ago, I decided I needed a girl name. I was concerned that if I was out and someone called my "new" name, I might not remember to react. I chose my girl name to be similar to my boy name to prevent this problem. I could also explain it as a typo on the computer if need be.

I struggled with a last name for a while. I thought of some action names, some porn star last names, and even pondered using my real last name - I mean, suppose I transition? In the end I settled on Teal (like the color). If you call me Gen (for short) my name becomes Gen-Teal. It sounds like gentle. That part seemed to fit just right. Also, nobody ever forgets it.

Hugs - Genifer

[sherib]

I was on the road for company and the corp office was on the west coast. I live on the east coast. Once a week i had to phone in my itenery for the week. It seems that everytime I called, I got this one receptionist who was was very nice and had a nice voice. We always talked for a while, sometimes i was dressed when I talked to her.

[tiffyjo]

Had a neighbor gal that was HOT, HOT,HOT! She was sooooo nice in every way. I had a major crush on her even though I was married. I start thinking about her and WOW! Her mom was very attractive also. I loved her name,,,, Tiffany. So, I adopted it as my femme name and added the Jo at the end.

[Wendi {LI NY}]

gee, I love the stories behind all your names. mine is simple ,I was hungry and stop at Wendy's for lunch!:devil: I said ,Boy ,that is a great name or maybe I am a Peter Pan Fan ? Wendy Darling was the older Girl in the Story !:heehee: Hugs,Wendi Darling

[MsJoann]

I started out as Audie. I kinda still like it. Maybe I'm a JoAnn or Audie, you tell me!

[jazmine]

I would say you look like an Audie to me. Cool name.:thumbsup:

[Tracy_Victoria]

When I first started dressing I used Helen (after the girl I first had a crush on) and after that I used carol for a while.

I changed my name to Tracy Victoria, when I set up a mail account years ago on hotmail which started TV, for posting on several forums (one of which was a ladies wig forum) I made a few posts, before realising the real nature of the site, ie ladies with major hair problems and having to wear wigs over just a need for fun. After relising the real intention of the site, I posted a thread fully on who, and what I was and posted a few pictures of myself dressed, and said if people were uneasy with my being there, I was happy to leave. I ended the post with just TV.

I was actually asked to stay, and I've been a member now for longer than I can remember, at first I just signed my posts TV but it seemed logical to fill in the blanks, so that how I became Tracy victoria.

[Angie G]

I've just started using a fem name 3 years ago so I've always been Angie.
I do like the name JoAnn I've known A couple JoAnn's :hugs:
Angie

[MJ]

my real name was Paul so i change it to Paula .. i did not like that and went on my quest to find myself A name i love. well the short version is *mj* and after looking at baby names ..Marissa Jennifer came to pass and now it's my legal name

[Erica Lauren James]

My Guy name is Eric and I have a niece named Erica so i didn't feel right using Erica at the time.

So I became Clarrisa and then changed to Kiera but now that my niece is all grown up and is getting married in June I've become Erica

Erica

[Margaret Heather]

When I was about 9 or 10 I asked my mother what my name would have been had I been born a girl. She replied: Margaret, after her mother, with Heather as the middle name. I wonder if she ever suspected anything from those very young days.

[ChanDelle]

Well, one day I asked my mom what she would have named me if I had been a girl and she said Chandelle as in the airplane aerobatic maneuver. My dad was a pilot so it makes sense. I use it as "ChanDelle" as I like the "CD" part and how it looks and sounds. Seems to fit me perfectly and honors my mom to me.

[MJ]

the long version , well i have a friend in england who got her last name from a cartoon series Jennifer wanted to order a season of the Simpson's and the s/a ask her for her last name well she chose Simpson .
now i love spider-man as a child an i love the initials mj .. but Mary Jane did not seem to work for me i went to baby names.com and looked for names with * M * i like the sound of Marissa , The * J * well i have a wonderful friend who was very nice and understanding to me when i came out her name is Jennifer .. so to honor her i took her first name .

i was born in the UK but ended up in Canada . when i came out to my family here in Canada it did not go well to them i am good as dead . so i wanted to change my last name i am dead anyway why not have a new start . my last name was also from .. a cartoon futurama the boy * fry * you see the girl mj and the boy fry girl/boy get it . i had the legal name change from ready to go and i told my sister in the UK "west Sussex " and she and my family back home are up set i was changing my last name and the family back home changed my mind
so my yahoo and hot mail is mj_fry .. but my legal name is Marissa Jennifer Cannon .. i should have gone with fry ...

[Selene EV]

I wrestled with this for a long time. One night I was watching TV by myself and the movie Underworld was on. I took one look at Kate Beckensale and thought how I would love to be able to pull that look off (never ever gonna happen). Her characters name was Selene and I liked that so Selene it is.

[Julianne]

And it is one that fascinates me but I really don't have a great story. Tried a couple of other names that I liked but didn't quite feel me. Started with Maria and then went to Julie. Liked Julie a lot but when I saw the name Julianne it just clicked. Then I thumbed through the phone book for a last name that sounded good and settled on Julianne Barrett.

[Kate Simmons]

Salandra is a title actually given to a previous avatar. Her function and purpose was balancing of energies. When I assumed the mantle, the title came along with it. My actual femme name is Arianna, which is also the name of my core self.:happy:

[Danielle Hyatt]

My name is Danielle Hyatt because my real is Dan and my husband I have as Danielle last name is Hyatt:drink:

[shenangovalleygal]

well mines pretty simple

i was born james patrick howard rankin to my parents james and patricia rankin lol.

so anyways. there was this girl that lived beside me for a bit before she moved. her name was desiree. man when i saw her off and on, mostly off, throughout my life, girl was smoking ass fine. i should have a picture of her and a friend/schoolmate of mine from elementary and highschool. a few years ago i ran into her i wanted to see what shes been doing lately since highschool. turned out she was a caregiver type person to mentally-challenged people in my town. strnage thing is the woman hates me with a passion and ive done nothing wrong to her. maybe it was the time i told her man at the time that me and her got a little friendly at a cabin in hte mountains the previous summer when we were kids. ok but enough of the one who got away, lets focus on me.

i chose jamie patrice howard rankin because its the only one that i could remember offhand. ive had alot of blows to my head mostly from banging my head against the bathroom sink. jamie is a unisex name while patrice is a derivative of my moms name. i kept howard because i couldnt think of the fem version of it. rankin because it was either that or mcmahon (moms maiden name). come to think of it, maybe i should use mcmahon because i am irish and i got teased as a kid for my last name.

[Ashlee]

I always admired a friends girllfriend so I borrowed her name as my own. I only wish I could've borrowed her wardrobe though!

[Darlene-VA]

I took my name from my favorite cousin who lives out in CA, plus it reminds me of the good times I have had on the Left coast

[KandisTX]

My second wife tried to give me my first femme name of "Chrissy", but I didn't think it reflected my personality best. After she and I split, I chose to go with Kandis because I thought it fit me much better.

Kandis:love:

[Alice B]

Just an extension of my real name.

[Amy Anne]

the way I selected my feminine name of Amy Anne was Amy was the name of a girl that I had a crush on in 2nd. grade and Anne is for the actress Anne Hathaway

[tricia_uktv]

From my parents (not sure that is right) but,

My Fathers name was Patrick and he was known as Pat so I took the other half to be Tricia. He is now sadly dead and that was the impetus for me to start realising my feminine side.

My Mother was a singer and had a stage name 'Margaret Dale' so I took Dale as the surname. She is still alive, knows about me and is frightened to death about what I am doing - but supports me.

Took a few years to get there though :)

[MystiqueJohnson]

Because it's hot! Mystique... Mystical... Johnson.. get it, Johnson! lol

[Juanita O]

I asked my mother if i would have been born a female what would my name be, She said that it would have been Juanita. I added the S, that is the first letter in my mother maiden name.

[jessicacn74]

my name came out of a role playing game a very powerful careature out of d&d and i invented her and she is my true self..................jessica e.rains

[Laurelanne]

Well,.. it started as Laura when I was 12 because my other name is Larry, then it became Victoria because I too had a wild crush on a Victoria, it stayed that way until the 80s when I started usung Daria because it was unique but people started abusing the name and concocting dirty variations so I went back to Laura then to Lauren.. which it remained until this forum when there were too many Laurens and I just became Laurelanne Hows that for boring but sometimes on the telephone I am TRacey.

[Sarah Plumber]

For some reason there were a lot of Sarah's in my life for quite some time. It does'nt sound like a "boys name made into a girls". I just like it...
As for the Plumber.
My Grandfather was born "out of wedlock" and took his Mothers Maiden name (which the family still uses).
Plumber was the name of his Father and the rest of his family as the couple finaly got married and had more kids. Grampa kept the maiden name.
So technically it's the name I should have had.

[Dawn]

Such wonderful stories ladies! A big thank you to all of you who posted replies!

Hugs. Dawn

[Jenny_1938]

I used to go out en femme quite a bit and was always afraid that, if someone called me by name and I didn't react promptly, that I would be read or at least look ditzy so I chose "Jenny", a name that sounded not unlike my male name.

My last name, Grier, came form looking up in the family bible all the distaff names as far back as it went. In other words, if all the women in the family had been the men and their last names had been the ones to be passed on to their children, we would all be "Griers".

Jenny Grier (Mrs.)

[ReallyDana]

Because my name is really Dana.

Just a twist of fate?

[TSchapes]

Thanks Dawn for this thread.

Tracey is a gender neutral name from the 1960's. I was born in the 1950's so I figured, "Hey I just lost ten years" :D

Schapes is derived from, but not exactly from, my great-great-great-grandfather's surname from Germany. Though by tradition in that part of the country at the time, he adopted his wife's surname instead. So I brought it back.

Then put together it had a nice ring and sounded like "Tracing Shapes" as in hour-glass figure and so it was ever thus.

- Tracey

[debbeelee1]

I've always liked the name Debbie and was going to use it, but my SO suggested Debbee to be different and that one stuck!

[Dawn D.]

Hello Dawn! Good thread. Mine is a play on my real name. I love it because I can answer the phone at work identifying myself saying "This is Dawn" and nobody knows any different! Sometimes I catch myself carrying out the AAAWW in it a little to long. But, what the heck, I love my name!



Dawn

[Rachael Turner]

I'm a big reading fan and books in general so my original name was Paige Turner. (get it?)

Went out to a GBLT bar/dance club and a GG bartender that I am friends with loved my hair and said it was idetintical to the "Rachael" cut that Jennifer Aniston had on Friends. She started caling me rachael from that night on and everyone there did too. I figured if you can't beat them, join them. Hence, now I'm Rachael.

Being named after a charcter that was played by JA isn't so bad.

[Lisa Golightly]

Not beautiful and the story of my name is quite dull... My parents chose it... Lisa Maria... The Golightly comes from my adoration of one Audrey Hepburn...

[Rachael Turner]

Not beautiful and the story of my name is quite dull... My parents chose it... Lisa Maria... The Golightly comes from my adoration of one Audrey Hepburn...

God I love Audrey Hepburn. She was absolutely gorgeous as Holly Golightly.
Great choice of name though.

[Carroll]

First time my wife saw me dressed, she told me I looked like a Carroll

[Lisa Golightly]

God I love Audrey Hepburn. She was absolutely gorgeous as Holly Golightly.
Great choice of name though.

Ta muchly :)

[JoleneCDinPA]

Jolene sounded nice I thought! A femme addition to my male name of Joe.

[Sandi jo]

This is years ago in one of our trips to Vegas the wife and I had talked about my dressing while we were out there so the first day I sat down to play at a poker machine and someone had left a slot card in and when I took it out I saw the name and told my wife she can call me Sandi when we go back to the room

[june58]

After I came out to my wife, the first time I dressed in front of her she asked if I was trying to be June Cleaver (from the 60's TV show Leave it to Beaver) and I just continued using the name June

[Angie Sweet]

Angie is my tribute to Angie Dickinson. Most of us remember the pair of legs she had. My first exposure to dressing was pantyhose. I received many compliments on my femme legs. That got me curious about dressing fully femme. The last name seemed a cute play on words. Say it slow and one syllable at a time.

[marny]

Marny started as a misprint from Mark. Evolved to MARNYMARN. THEN marnymarn and the funky bunch. Now pared down to marny. Would love to get my wife to call me Marny. One step at a time! :D

[Hermina]

Hermina is a synonym of my real name.:happy:

[Mary Lee]

After my divorce I started using my x wife name in case any mail came from FEM places.

[mona lisa]

It is one of the female nicknames given to me by a girl friend of mine. More could be said than that but that is adequate for now.

[Wynter Skye]

well, I tried various names inspired by my given name, but none seemed to fit. I began to think about who I was and what I admired in life.

I realized that I've always been in awe over the occasional thunderstorm in the winter solstice. Its the most powerful thing in the world it seems at times, to witness booming thunder and lightning streak across the sky to illuminate not the typical tumultuous rain, but instead the fragility of flakes falling calmly to earth. The silent beauty of a snow covered landscape powerful enough to shut down huge cities simply with its presence. Winter brings thoughts of solitude, silence and strength to me, qualities I hold dear within myself.

[HalloweenDragon]

Mine is a very deep look into who I am!

I am born on Halloween and in the year of the Fire Dragon.

My name is who and what I am, seriously.Notice the word DRAG is happily in there!

[Gail Stauffer]

well, I thought about it awhile before I chose my feminine name, I kind of liked the name Kayla, and Britney, but they never really fit for me, for some reason... Gail is a name that I have liked for some reason and it sort of stuck with me and so I chose it as my feminine first name. I chose two middle names, Michelle Kellyanne seemed to fit and the lst name I decided to use one different then my own real last name, so I chose the one of a girl I thought was quite nice and popular in middle school. her last name was Stauffer so my Full Feminine name I go by is Gail Michelle Kellyanne Stauffer it seems to have a nice flow to it as well.

[willowgurl]

Hiya Dawn, My first name was really easy just added the "ow" to the end of my guy name. My middle name changed from Francis to Frances, and my last name I guess is sort of freudian- Peters Willow

[annekathleen]

If I explained the creation of my screen name,
It might give away my real identity.

[Hermione Simpson]

i chose hermione because she's my favourite character from harry potter and simpson because it's my mothers maiden name

[Annette_boy]

Hi All My name came from a couple of places My first name from my favorite Mouseketeer fron the late 50's every boy in US had a crush on Annette and my middle name Vasillisa from a princess in a Russian Fairy tail and the last name is my real one.
Annette Vasillisa

[xxlouxx]

The story behind my name goes something like this....... When i was at school there was a girl in my year called "Louisa Wiltshire" She was an absolute stunner so beautifull and had a great pair of legs i amired her in every way possible

So i have kinda based myself on here really

Just wish i really was her!

[epsxyblkm]

I did'nt have a femme name until I read this post, but was able to think of one that suits me.

Tegan.

Let me know what you think.

[Staci K]

'Nicole' was given to me by my wife.

After more than a decade of marriage, we had to spice things up in our love life. Forced Fem was one of the ways we went about it. This role play helped to surface the feelings I had buried deep inside - was too ashamed and guilty of them. Since it's now out in the open, and I have a supporting family I kept the name 'Nicole' since it was she that helped me to be true to myself.

[akaCathy]

I chose Catherine for Catherine the Great and O'Malley for Grace O'Malley, the pirate queen of Ireland. Both strong, courageous and fierce.

Catherine O'Malley aka Cathy

[lucya_od]

i really dont have much of a story apart from my cat is called "lucy ferbal" and i love french people, so i wanted to have a name i love the most but have it in a way were it sounded like a french name. so hence why i am lucya.
and my last name is still the same. lucya o'dwyer:happy:

[Roberta Llyan]

My birth name was Bobby Allan and my last name. Since most people associate Bob or Bobby with the name Robert, I just decided to use the Robert. And, I then moved the first "A" in my middle name over to the end and came up with Roberta.

That left "llan" as my middle name. So I inserted a "y" in the middle to give it some flavor and make it roll from the tongue most smoothly. Thus, Llyan.

So Roberta Llyan is my name. I seldom use my birth last name as it is not necessary in my view.

[Julie York]

I did'nt have a femme name until I read this post, but was able to think of one that suits me.

Tegan.

Let me know what you think.

It sounds like someone who drives a hyperdrive starship to me. ("We have just dropped out of hyperdrive Captain Tegan".) But I like it!!

You could pretend it's Gaelic or something.

("Yes it is Gaelic for 'She who looks earnestly at the bog on a frosty morning dreaming of potatos'.")

:thumbsup:

I took my name from the first person I killed with my bare hands.





:D

[lauraletsrock]

I asked my parents what they would have named me if I had been identified as female at birth. My father told me he wanted to call me Lauren or Laura. I love both names,so Laura was a natural choice. Love you and miss you, Dad.

[Helen MC]

Helen after a girl at my school I fancied and who looked a bit like me when we were both teenagers. MC being "Montfort" and "Cherub" which were the brand names of the two makes of Girls' School Knickers belonging to my sister Anne that I secretly wore as a teenager and I still wear these type or equivalents to this day. How many British "Gurls" remember these knicks and even still wear them?

[Cheryl Ann]

I dated a girl named Cheryl, and Ann was a sister of a friend. I thought the two names went nicely together.

[robbie]

I do not have one. My name Robbie is the scottish nickname for Robert. It is the name I grew up with. It is what everyone calles me. I only use Robert as a formal name in conversation.

[fay]

Fay just popped into my head - it's blissfully short and sweet unlike my real name. :)

[LaurenEP]

I took my name from a character played by Hilary-Shepard Turner. Her character sort of looks like a drag queen.

I wanted to take my name from one of my favorite actresses but her name is too close to my real one, so it seemed unoriginal. So I took her last name for my femme surname.

So, when en femme, I'm Lauren Parker. (Hardly seems significant to have a femme name since she's never been out in public.)

[claire lewis]

i have always loved 'Claire' as a girls name and combined it with Lewis which is a middle name shared by several members of my family ,

[jessielee]

my name is my name, the female version of it. but the story of where she came from may be of interest.
it means wealthy or gift or grace of God. an ancient Hebrew name, it was soley a male name. jessies in falconry are leather straps used in aiding the bird of prey's training and retrieval. somewhere along the way Jessica became popular for gfs. Jess is the all purpose nick name for both xx and xy versions.
in the late seventies, people began to muck with the name, some who didn't know or didn't care about tradition and began naming girls jesse and boys jessie. i think i first noticed it in Rick Springfield's I Wish that I Had Jessie's Girl and the tradition has been since blown all to heck. take for example John Denver's adopted daughter Jesse.
well, as an effeminate youngster, i was always embarassed that i wasn't quite up to boyish par on the playing fields so i always blushed when receiving perfume samples in the mail, sent to a girl jessie but reaching me. something was reaching me slowly and only now bearing fruit. i grew a beard as soon as i could, and entered into all manner of "manly" activities. still got called "gay" a lot. bcame a womanizer. but it was because the women were drawn to my sensitivity, my femme side, i believe.
today, in the office for the burly bus company i drive for, dispatchers mispell my name as a girl's name and i used to erase and use white out. but something has changed. even though i know they didn't mean it that way, now i smile at it and see that it is more truly me than what's on my birth certificate!
it feels this way! a new girl has been born, who has been here all along but is now allowed to smile at herself, at least in a mirror. its a start. thanks for bearing with my drabble. perhaps my epiphanies can be part of the mix
of these works of soul art we are creating,
day by day.
peace,
jessie the girl

oh, i was named jesse after an uncle and grandfather never met because mother said no child of her's would ever be named harold, my father's name!

[ColleenW]

Mine came from a very sweet girl I knew in high school.

Salandra is a title actually given to a previous avatar. Her function and purpose was balancing of energies. When I assumed the mantle, the title came along with it. My actual femme name is Arianna, which is also the name of my core self.:happy:

Salandra,
I have appreciated your many insightful posts over the last several weeks. Assuming the mantle implies that you have taken over some function for a previous poster on this forum.

I'm always delighted to see read your postings, but I'm curious about where Salandra comes from and why you don't sign messages as Arriana (and I'll be completely embarrassed if I got your name wrong between viewing the email and responding.

For myself for myself, my name really is Lee - it's a gender-neutral name and I've always thought of myself as somewhat odd (only in part due to my cross-dressing - aware of since age six, at least).

Lee

[bibrian]

It was quite simple really. My real name is Brian so it just seemed natural to call myself Brianna. Had I been born a girl I would have been named Penelope so Penny was also a possibility but Brianna seemed more straightforward.

[dino67]

I just added two letters to my name. And i like the name deanna

[donnadawn]

Donnadawn. Seems like donna was a good femme version of my real first name and dawn represents the awakening of my femme feelings.

[Sabrina Flowers]

My fem name Sabrina Flowers, I liked the name Sabrina, and I liked Sabrina from Charlies Angels, Flowers was just picked out oneday.

[Amy Hepker]

Mine comes from the song Amy by Pure Prairie League.

[Krista M]

i was trying to think of a good spin off and Krista sounded good

i thought Amanda was good to A-MAN-DA :D

[sarahred]

The four most beautiful women I've ever met were all named Sarah, and red is my favorite color.

[gennee]

I've always like the name 'Genevieve'. Since there were other girls on the forum with the same name, I created 'Gennee' (pronounced Jenny).

Gennee
