The first and only name I've given myself. I haven't had it long. But I liked it right away. It fit. So that's who she is/I am. Callie. Middle name Brianna - a name I never liked. But I love Callie Brianna.

Stuck to mine throughout. My ex-fiancee got unhealthily stuck on my liking of Sherry Stringfield from ER and I love the work of Lesley Stahl on 60 minutes - I combine the two and got my femme name.
Sometimes I think of making it more like my male name but cant go back after 20 years.
Melissa means "bee" in Greek. Geery is a transliteration of the French word for healed. So my process of accepting myself as a cross dresser involves me naming myself "be healed". Could also be "be heeled" and work too. I'm a bit of a dork sometimes.
It took some searching, but I when I found "Melissa", I realized it just fit. The "Lange" part flowed from there, though I'm less sure why.
My first lover always said she loved my Hazel eyes, so Hazel was an obvious choice for a name.
In my younger days I made that Hazel Woods when a surname was required, or Hazel Twiggs when I was feeling frivolous.
For the past 20 years, Hazel has existed only in my head, whispering in my ear; and as I am fast approaching 50 her nuggets of (frequently bad) advice have put me in mind of a favourite, irresponsible, aunt from my teenage years.
Never really thought about what my name is. But I when I do I will get back to you all. :daydreaming:
I chose the first name of a woman that found very feminine and very sensual....
I was just looking for something original and flowed off the tongue and sounded elegant.
I've been using Janet on and off again. I'm a fan of comics and superheroes so a lot of my inspiration for names come from them. Hence my Janet/Wasp name here. I have a few other considerations like Alana, Jasmine and Miranda.
Ive known a few very sexy women named Jessica. One of them was very curvy and gorgeous and I dressed up wanting to be her. Sounds odd i know. And then there is Jessica Rabbit... and for a cartoon.... hmm. lol. :)
As far as the last name, when im dressed I just LOVE myself so much more, so heart seemed like an easy choice. :)
I chose Kelly because I was a huge fan of married with children lol and Kelly was perfect. She was a little ****ty at times but she was just drop dead gorgeous.
Rowan is a masculine noun in gaelic for an ash tree...strong, slender and with pretty plumage, but which has become a femini e name. Ailbhe (Al-Vah) is gealic for "fair."
Good evening Ladies.
My name is Anita (Susan Jones).
I gave myself the name Anita, following the dance group 2 Unlimited as the Anita was the female singer.
I'm UK based.
Anita
XXXX
I chose Tylia ,because it really sounds nice and it is a short name with 3 syllables.....(tie....lee...ahhh). Saw it written somewhere and it seems very rare
Amy.
It's sort of similar to my male name, but it's just always been in the back of my mind for some reason as the name I associated with the "girl" part of me.
Katie Ann
This was going to be my legal name if I had been a girl at birth
Christina
I asked my mother a few months after I started dressing what my name would have been if I was born a girl. She told me christina cause it was a combination of her name and my father's name. Oddly enough I'm named after my father and I hate it.
I have a good friend who was a dancer, looks so great in leotards and tights. She almost always wears a dress too. She does not know that I cross dress.
I thought of a list of names that sounded feminine and cute- Shelley stood out due to a cheerleader I knew in high school who I thought at the time was the essence of femininity. But what sold it for me was it was also the last name of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein- the story of a harmless (beautiful?) creation that everyone turned on because they didn't understand it and thought it looked different and thus scary. Draws some parelells for me to this whole transgender thing. And hopefully I do a better job with this Shelley creation than her Dr. did with his...
I chose Michelle because it's the feminine form of my given name. My full name is Savannah Michelle. I thought it feminine and pretty and liked how the two names sounded together.
My nickname back in school was "Jin", because our backwoods hicks could not spell "Djinn". As in Alladins lamp fame. I had a knack of popping in and out of parties without notice.
And for some reason all the boys wanted to rub my chest!
I chose Robin because I was checking out names that were close to my guy name and that one seemed to fit me the best. I considered Paige since that would of been my name if I was born a girl but I just like Robin better. I also like to go by girl middle name Jenni cause it’s such a feminine name that contrasts my unisex first name
Yes, they do! Excellent choices!
Tamara, because it means Palm tree. I am very tall.:sad::sad:
Julia because its close to my guy name. 1984 because we all betray the thing or person we love.
Esther, because i like the name and it might actually be the name my mom would have chosen for me if i were a girl, so she once told me. She likes weird old testament names. My real name is also quite biblical. The last name is random. I had to add something because the name Esther was already taken on this forum. Who took my name before I did? You have good taste in names.
With my love for Southern Belle dresses, I needed something that was southern sounding... then I got thinking and came up with Allie Bellema... which if spoken fast enough, almost sounds like I'm saying Alabama in a southern style play of words. Alabama being a southern state (despite me living in the Midwest), worked perfectly!
I actually have no idea what it was about Emma that called to me. I was looking at a list of girl names because there was never a name that I identified with and I saw Emma. I've always liked the name. I think it sounds pretty and like a younger girl. So I said, why the heck not? And for a whole 3 days now I've been Emma on here!
Turns out, it means "whole" which I felt like was fitting since I'm exploring another side of myself. Just trying to become wholly me.
Hi there, I'm brand spanking new here and my name is Robyn. I was born Christopher and my grandma other wanted my mom to name me Christopher Robin. My mom was having no part of it. As a boy born in the 70s when we had books, I read Winnie The Pooh and it's just one of those things. Everyone that knows me describes me as tiger though lol. So although I go as Robyn, I like to think of Christopher Robyn in girls clothes and it's just his and pools lil secret! Hello everybody pleased to meet you!

Hey there Emma! I love that name and always love to hear a story where the universe tells us that we are right where we are supposed to be!
Hugs, Robyn
I decided after much deliberation to go with Melissa for a number of reasons firstly because I like it :) and it shortens nicely to Mel, secondly it has the same number of letters as my guy name and the same initial letter so my cherished reg (a gift) on my car still has significance.
I actually sat here for a long time thinking of what mine might be, i had never really considered it before having never tried to pass in public etc. I um'd and ah'd for ages going through favourite actress',musicians, friends etc before simply settling for what was my gut instinct to begin with....a feminised version of my own name (im sure you can guess what that is). Its simple and yet somehow just feels right, much love to all of you ladies and your creative names but I am simply Davina a cross dresser x
It was my wife really who gave me my female name. She used it the first time she saw me dressed even though i was not fully dressed. Its the female version to my Male name. I happen to love both. Seasons Greetings to all.
Mine was named after a girlfriend I had a long time ago, back in school. Always thought as I got older that I should of put more effort into that relationship, because nowadays her body type is what I am attracted to now. Might not be the coolest story out there. lol
I studied French in collage so I wanted a French sounding name. Monique sounds very mysterious and intriguing to me.
Paula because Paul is my middle name and it is the name of a past girlfriend who has now passed away.
I chose Cathern because I liked it and Kelly because I look like an old tire. The two of them seemed to go together. The spelling of Cathern is off the main track of names which was the vogue when I first started dressing. That was how CDs knew each other by their bad spelling. Now I always liked Kelly because it's Irish. I'm not Irish but I have friends who are and all of them always seemed to be really good people. That's my Good Feet Story.
I chose Jessica as my first name because I have always loved that name and still do. I chose Ashley as my middle name also a name I really liked and I couldn't chose which one I liked more for my femme name.
I chose Jasmine partially because I wanted a "J" name to match my male name, and partially because I love flowers. When trying to choose a female name, I originally thought of Rose because I have always liked that name, and I got to Jasmine because it is also a flower.
I don't know how or when it came up, but I recall my mother once telling me that would have been my name had I been born female. Plus, I think it suits me.
I chose Michele kinda like many others as an offshut of my male name. and like others my mother wanted a girl but got me instead. she constantly let me know that she was cheated by having me and not a daughter. besides It is very femme.
As with most I chose my name by feminizing my Male name. And then reversing my first and second name. Honestly for as long as I can remember I was always called by my middle name. So it’s about time I made the change somewhat official somewhere.
I'm Gunta, which is first part of my real first name
Christine Jasmine.
My name evolved in a few different ways. The Christine part was easy, a femme version of my male name - and come to find out, if I were born female it's what my parents would have name me anyways.
The Jasmine part stems from the movie Aladdin. I was infatuated with Jasmine from the movie (and I still like Disney Princesses). I was an avid user of IRC chat back in the early Internet days, and I had a handle of PJasmine (short for Princess Jasmine). That evolved to C Jasmine, then eventually Christine Jasmine.
Christina cam from my mega crush on Christina Aguilera, and from a good friend of the family, a strong woman I admire. Marie is just a pretty name, that actually is my daughter's middle name now.
There are so many beautiful names, it was a difficult choice! Ultimately I chose a unisex name that I liked for the first name, and Adams after one of my favorite actresses. I felt the two parts went together well.
I came up with Janessa due to a ex girlfriend a long time ago and recently decided that would be my femme name what do you all think
My name wasn't really an active process of what I want to be called. It was more like, what is going on in me, I AM Renee. I have no idea where I got that name at the time. Nor have I ever wavered on that choice for 40+ years.
I go by lucianna. Lucy for short. Off of my middle name Lucian. Hi everyone.
In high school I was making a name for a girl video character and didn't want to use my name. At the time I liked this girl who's first name started with "A" and last name started with "Sew" so I made the name Asew. And it has always been my go to name for video game girl characters. I am not sure how much I identify with this name in real life though. By the way I pronounce it like ah-sue.
My wife and I told her best friend about my dressing and she asked if I should when dressed I should be called a female variant of my male name. I don't really like that (too close). I definitely prefer Asew over that.
I’m new to this forum, but chose the name Lynne after my wife’s middle name. I thought that since this is such a personal aspect of my life, I’d like to have a deep connection to whatever name I picked. Honestly though, I secretly dreamed of being able to get a full body transformation and reveal to my wife, who could then look at me and give me my name. But it’s somewhat a “chicken vs egg” thing in the sense that I’d like to use this forum to continue to learn about dressing, relationships, and myself and I needed to have something to use to sign up... so here I am!
