I read KateW's thread about her wife finding her username. It got me wondering about TV's choices of girlie names, whether just for online use or for whenever dressed.
I had been dressing for a number of years without even thinking about having a girlie name, after all I was still a guy and had no wishes to change sex and there were no online communities in the 80's.
Then on a winter weekend break to Brighton my wife, whose tolerance to my TV lifestyle changes with the seasons, suggested we go shopping together en femme. I did not have much of a femme wardrobe with me, but all my jeans and panties are femme anyway. So with nails varnished, subtle make-up on eyes and lips, skinny jeans, baggy top and pumps I was ready to go shopping to add to my femme wardrobe.
Then my wife said, "You need a girls name, I cannot call you Ray." So, Rachael was chosen because a mistaken calling of Ray could be extended to Rachael.
What and how did anyone else choose as their girlie name? I guess for some it was easy to take the female version of a male name (Paul to Paula/Pauline) or the shortform of their male name is also good for a girl (Sam).
