Your female name *merged threads*

I picked Miranda as I enjoy astronomy and Miranda is a moon of Uranus.

i dont have a definate name but i use to go by AMANDA THATCHER, i got this from a girl i use to work with, she sturred up so many cd feelings inside me, she was gorgeous.

jaimelynn was picked by my Mother, she once told me if i was born a girl that's what my name would have been.

I went by Robyn in high school so it just kind of stuck with me.

I have not picked a name yet since i don't feel I have an alter femme ego. I just love to crossdress from the waist down. I am tall 6'3" and used to be slim as a child. My Father used to call me Slim. In our back yard growing up I used to climb our willow tree. Slim / Willow they kind of go together. If or when my alter ego appears, I think I will call her Willow.:o

Hi girls, this is one of my favorite topics. I love finding out how girls came up with the name they want to be called by. To me, it's one of the fun things about being TG. We get to choose a name that suits us rather than being saddled with one chosen by our parents in the hopes of flattering some wealthy maiden aunt.<lol>

I chose my first name from a g-girl I was once smitten with, she prounounced her name "Johnny" but I use a long "O" and pronounce it as though it were spelled "Joanie". My middle name is very close to my actual surname with some of the letters left out and my last name of Cruz is Spanish for cross, no, not like in grouchy, though I can be sometimes, and reflects my Hispanic heritage.

There, that's my story.

Hugs...Joni Marie

It seems like I get the urge to change my name about once a year but the latest Sally Ringwald Havenstien Duckwall Retanza Hinz Prutunnez Varanza.. this will be my last name... just joking.. actually Carly has been what I have stuck with for.. well since starting to post here, however long that has been.. actually longer then that because I was a "lurker" here for quite a while before registering here...

I used to go by the name Tracy (online) but it never totally felt right or comfortable. Recently I changed it to Aleca as it's only one letter off my real name, so it fits more naturally for me.

My name came from two girls I've had crushes on. One from 6th grade, the other from a recent support group.

They don't know. Actually, I would even know where to find either of them. One was beautiful; the other had lots of energy.

Love to all,

Paige

So that when i sign my name the initial J is included in it which for me will stand for Joanne

i picked chrissy cause my real name is chris and i decided to be lazy.

well it went likethis my mother called me jojo and my aunt her name was ann do it just came out as joann:) god love her!!!

Hmm katty was kind of spur of the moment, and I kind of regret it. I think a better name would be Jaylee or something else of a certain flavor, and preferably a J name haha.

Dianne ( with 2 n's ) and Roberts is what my name always should have been, something that feels right. And my birth name is not Robert.

You just know when it feels right, like a butterfly knows how to fly once free of the coccoon, even though he's only walked before....

:hugs:
Dianne

I don't have a femme name yet (I'm open to suggestions). If I was born a girl I would have been Jade, which is quite nice.

I'm happy being plain old Thom for now, even if the "h" makes me appear rather pretentious.

Janel. Saw the name one time and just feel for it.

Being totally closeted, I didn't have a femme name before joining the forum. I had no need. But for some odd reason, for the past few years, I had been analyzing female names, trying to choose in my mind which one I liked the best. I did this with actors in movies, television personalities, acquaintances, etc. I really came to like the name Julie very much, so that's my name!

I've never been out and about 'en femme', so as a result I never really did feel a need to pick a name. I choose 'Alannah' for the forum as the feminine version of one of my given names. It seemed to make sense. So far, I like it.

Alanah

An added note to the above: as you can see, I'm still not used to using it, much less SPELLING IT RIGHT!

Alannah

(there, that's better...)

I started out as "Vicky" back east, back in the closet.
I moved to the SF Bay Area 2.5 years ago. While on a trip with my GF the name "Patina DeCopper" just sort of came into my head.
I liked that one a lot bettter. My GG GF thinks "vicky" is too much of a "Delaware Librarian" name.
A few months after I came up with the new name, I began performing in a band that backs up Burlesque performers. EVERYONE in that scene uses a stage name.
So now "Patina" is a drag performer. I'm loving it!

stephanie is what my mother was going to name me...

When I first started going out dressed 'en femme' I hadn't actually thought much about a femme name until the club we attended asked what my dressed name was. Spur of the moment decision my wife and I agreed Lola. As per The Kinks song Lola which we'd listened to earlier in the day. This is still the text message ring tone on my mobile!!!

However, I never felt quite, ooh, you know, comfortable with Lola then a mis addressed envelope arrived for me, the company sending the mail had misspelt my name and it had become a female one which I now use; Leona.
So, there you are a concise explanation of how I arrived at Leona! X X X

For the longest time, I'd never given any thought to a femme name...after all, I was firmly closeted about my dressing and assumed I'd always be that way, so why bother figuring out what other people would call me?

After I came out to my fiancee (now my wife), she asked if I had a name I called myself. With a chuckle and a suitably dramatic accent, I declared, "I am Tatiana!" A jokey name that I've never really felt any connection to, but my wife will still occasionally calls me "Tati."

Xenia was a name that had come up in a conversation about possible baby names that my wife and I had shortly after we got married. We both loved the feel of it, but agreed it was probably a bit too fussy to actually give to a baby...and we were worried that it would be constantly mispronounced. (It's KSENN-ya, with a short "e" in the first syllable, and not "ZEE-nee-a.") But it is a pretty name that I felt needed to get used somewhere, so I took it on impulsively when I signed up here. Still trying to get a feel for whether or not it's really "me." But really....how can I not love a name that starts with an X? :)

Sarah is my female name. I always liked that name and am a little infatuated with the Duchess of York.

Or is real name, which is unisex, but I'm still changing it to Orlee when I crossdress

-Orlee

I cant remember exactly where it popped into my head, but I have 2 possibilities.

1: Its the name of a girl i used to talk to online when i was learning about myself when i was a teenager

2: Jennifer is the modernized form of Gweneviere, and i've always been a fan of King Arthur's story tales, etc.

Well, back during my pre-internet T-life, "Dragazine" had a regular feature called "The Drag Name Game" with entries like Natalie Drest, Ima Mann, Amanda Love, Shawn Delear, Latrina Bidet, etc. My wife and I still come-up with new joke stage-names from time to time. I always thought it was fun, so my earliest online ID was Barbie Kendall. I don't think of it as a "real" name just my online handle.

I really liked the Sunita on coronation street lol and just recently i saw her and she is really beautifull so im glad to be called after her character lol

That is a good one...

My female name is Allie Summers.

First I wanted to pick a name that starts with "A" since my male name starts with and "A"...Alan. I chose Allie because some of my neices call me that.

I would have prefered to stick with my real last name because I really don't look at Allie as a different person or alter ego. She is really me on the inside and she gets a chance to come out sometimes.

Since I didn't want to totally come out then I decided to come up with a fake last name too. Since I love the sun and the water and working on my tan I decided to use my favorite time of the year...Summer.

That is where I came up with the name Allie Summers.

Kisses,

Allie

I've always liked the name Savannah, it's a little less common than my male name where I grew up.

Annamarie is the name of a woman with whom I work. I am very attracted to her, and the name is unusual enough that it is usually available on forums, etc..

I invented the character of April long before I had admitted to myself that I want to be her. She was my "ideal" girl. the perfect girl for me. I'm not sure when I named her or why. I think April to me represents new beginnings and change. I'd been looking for my April Sunshine for years until I finally found her. Me.


~ April

Jayla is close to my real name and Eileen was my mom's middle name. I was never outgoing enough to tell my mom that I crossdressed, but I'm quite sure she knew. So Eileen is for sentimental sake. Love ya, Jayla Eileen.

I always liked Sarah, used Rob(yn) for while, my first serious g/f was called Robyn and since Im Rob it was kind of cute. But Sarah Jane just has something romantic and feminine about it, fot me.

I chose the name Catherine O'Malley for Catherine the Great and Grace O'Malley, the pirate queen of Scotland. I've been going by the name Cathy, but as an old broad of 59 and still rough around the edges, I've decided to change it to Cate. Cate O'Malley. I'm a writer and an actor and a pirate and sailor and just pasted the cannon class at the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, FL, so the old broad can add cannoneer to her resume'. If you need some one to wipe your tears, hug your neck or stand and repel boarders, I'm your gal.

Hugs,

Cate O'Malley

I have used Debbie for some time, it sounds so girly. then I went with Jane, it rymes with my real name.

I picked mine because I am of Scot-Irish decent and I think it sounds like a name for a girl of those nationalities.

hhm..good question.. i thought of tanya once.. but droped it.. but my new other half wants to call me tasha?.. not sure if i want a girl name.. cos then i would prob split my personality into 2 people.. which i dont want.. hhmm

Hello,

GG here. I chose my adora's female name. It means beloved one. And she is!

Annette

My username is hose_n_heelz, because that is what I love so much.

I am using Coral Miller when I am femme either in person or virtual. The last name is kind of plain, which I wanted. It is the last name of a good friend and really, otherwise, random.

I liked the first name because it was somewhat exotic. The name really also comes from some word play that I came up with when I discuss my outings with certain close friends. I love to doll-up, but when I am in really hot heels and sexy pantyhose, I can be a little naughty. :)

Nessa. Took about a year to figure out a one I was happy with.

Initially, I used Pauline when I would occaisionally crossdress over the years, it being the feminized version of my male name. Since dressing has become a more important part of my life, I thought about the name I wanted to use. I was surprised to realize just how attached I had already become to Pauline, because nothing else I thought of seemed to sounds right to me except Pauline!

My middle name, Lauren, is also an alteration of my male middle name, but I just loved the way it seemed to flow together with Pauline. Now I find I am quite more taken with the way Pauline Lauren sounds and looks than I ever was with my male name!

>>huggs<<

Pauline

when i was in grade school they would tease me and call me patricia i hated it now ilove it ijust love being patricia shes my best freind:battingeyelashes:

I took my name from an old girlfriend I had back in high school. She was beautiful and so feminine. :o

I often thought about this but never made an official decision while I wasn't talking to anyone about it. However I have had a few female characters in various games and one of them had to be Polish and ended up being Agnieszka.

I hadn't thought about it in a long time but as I read over topics like this before I joined, I knew I was never very fond of the female versions of my own name and Agnieszka came to me again. This was followed by my favorite Russian name Svetlana and as I double checked my spelling at the last second, I was struck by Irena which became my middle name.

To me, all of these pronounced correctly and especially with a Slavic eastern european accent have to be among the most feminine names I have ever heard. In Slavic tongues, even your last name is feminized though I admit my own is an improper Russian-style middle name that should be a patronymic based on a male name. Thankfully, while I can speak a little Russian, I consider myself mostly Polish from my mother's side so my female portion might as well follow suit.

To get the full effect of my names, one needs to imagine the proper pronunciation, perhaps with an accent as well.

Supposedly: ahg-NYESH-kah ee-RE-nah svyet-LAH-(nova)

Now that she has a name, I really wonder if she is now officially separated from my official personality. Names have power and I've felt like she has been in charge most of the time over the last two days as I really wonder.

I like to go by lisa because it was my first girlfriends name. She use to call my bunny, so i like that to.

I'm kind of a mental person so in choosing my name Shaylee I looked to some obscure thing. Shaylee is an Irish name depicting a fairy, you know with wings and such. In looking into fairies more I came across an old wives tale that there were no male fairies and that all fairies had no sex at all but took on the appearance of a female so they could be beautiful. It fit the way I felt at the time. Looking like a female but not being one. By the way this legion is why in folklore the Irish used to dress their boys like girls until twelve, so the fairies would not steal their boys. Evidently the fairies have no use for girls.:heehee:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...ies/heehee.gif

I chose Mattie. Since it's more or less a female version of my given name.

I don't really know where my female name came from. It just kind of felt natural to be called Jessica. For some reason I always used to look if that name was ever said out loud. I don't know why.

It's kind of strange how I realized it was my female name though. When I was 15, I was talking on msn to this guy who went to my school. He didn't know who I was when I started talking to him (Even though he knew who I was in real life), he thought I was one of his girlfriends friends. He kept referring to me as a female the whole time, and I usually don't even pay attention to things like that so I didn't even think to correct him. I lived in North Carolina at the time, right on the bible belt, which was horrible since I was bi :\. I forget how it came up but he mentioned something along the lines of "Gays should burn in hell" blah blah blah. Then for some odd reason, right after, he asked for my name. I didn't even think twice, I just typed out 'Jessica'. It felt so natural, that I decided to keep it as my female name.
