I'm new here also. April, for the month of the year that I blossomed. I also enjoy the symbolism of new growth. Doe, as in Jane Doe. A real person whose identity is either unknown or intentionally withheld.

I am Charlotte Daniella Quinn. Quinn is not my last name but I chose it since if I could be a real woman I would love to look like Jamie Quinn who modeled pantyhose on pantyhose addict.com
Welcome Lynne.
Rebecca Leeann
Alana because it rolls sensually from the lips and tongue, Westenra after Mina Harker's free spirited best friend. (Where my Literature nerds at?)
Alana. I was trying to place Westenra. Didn't it end badly for her too, or did she escape the Counts clutches?
Yep, Lucy was taken out by Van Helsing. I always appreciated her inherent wildness in life and un-death.
I chose my name from supermodels Stephanie Seymour and Kimberlie Conrad and last name from Diana Prince (Wonder Woman).
Vivian comes from Vivian Leigh. My mom loved Gone with the Wind and watched it a ton when I was a child, so I loved the name once I saw it. Leigh is the Mistress of Resting Bitch Face and a total beauty. Frost comes from when I played an online game called City of Villains. I saw another character, female of course called Courtney Frost, and totally dug her outfit. My first femme name was Courtney, so I always remembered and liked the symbolism of the last name Frost(being a cold and dominating female). That's my origin of sorts!
Hi, I'm Kathleen Ann Trees. I've known and loved so many K named gals over the years (Kate, Kelli, Kathy, Karli, etc.) that I wanted one of my own. Kathleen is a nice and pretty formal name that allows for casual variations. Then I wanted my initials to spell something, so KAT was a natural with more play off Kathleen. (Ironically, I'm more of a dog person, but willing to be open to kitties) After a while I came upon the idea of Trees as a surname. The different looks of a snow covered winter, floral spring, full green summer, and colorful autumn is a wonderful metaphor for my changing looks and desires. The tree has become my icon. I have pictures and tchotchkes all over, including me, and only I know how personal they really are. (Now you know too!)
Jennifer has always been the name for me. Like some others, it was my mom who told me this would have been my name if I were born a girl. I've never strayed from the name.
I chose Amy because it's my wife's name. I also like the name Brandy since that is my ex's name and a nice drink.
Hello
There's mall story to mine. during 2002 I had gone to university s mature student and was living in a small flat in Liverpool. Somehow while searching for something totally unrelated I came across a website called glamourimages which was a small husband and wife run glamour site featuring the wife who was called Christine. While joining that my membership got messed up, it was eventually fixed by the husband who was very friendly, eventually we became friends along with Christine. We would cat quite often and she learned of my crossdressing, she asked me if I had a female name and when I said I hadn't we asked me to call myself Christine, I as very flattered and now I'm Christine :)
I chose JaniceP because, when I was growing up,that was the name of the prettiest, most Feminine Girl in our neighborhood. We were only 6 months apart age wise and I envied every bit cute clothes she wore and she Always wore cute clothes.
She wore slacks at times & a PantyGirdle with stockings all the time.
I was so excited seeing the garter tabs showing through her slacks.This was in the 60's and Feminine pastels were in vogue. I'd seen her pretty lacy Girdle under her skirt at times, cute colors----Yellow, pale Blue etc.
I would go on and purchase my own pretty Girdles (both LLPG & OBG---I LOVE GIRDLES) and stockings and wear them under my slacks, with the hope that a strong woman would see my garter tabs and give me a knowing smile.
I chose my name because Cassandra sounds elegant and Cassie the shortened form to me sound like she is a down to earth lady. Love that duality in the name. The last because a girl I know that is her last name and it sounds cool
Have no idea why I took my names. Rachel was just a name I took for the Forum. Later I decided for Yohana which is the name I use with my wife (I only share my crossdressing with her).
Betsy is a variant of my Mother's name and would likely have been my name had I been born a girl. My mother died at a young age. I never got to know the real her. Perhaps Betsy will.
Not sure if I've already said this but I've had quite a few femme names since I started dressing.
1. Catherine (that was the original one. Why? I just like the sound of the name.
2. "Andrea", came next and actually, hung around for quite a while)
3. "Shirley" (as you all know, is the current one)
5."Marina" is a possible future one that I'm messing around with.
I honestly don't know why it is they keep changing. I think it might be because i get bored of each of these at some stage.
I'm currently trying to decide between "Maureen" and "Marina" Which one do you think sounds better?
I choose the name Megan for two reasons I had a crush on a girl in school named Megan and I find it simple and attractive the moment when I first put on a wig after make up I looked in the mirror it was a magical moment that name came to me
When i joined this group i hadn't given any thought to a name so i just used Nic as a variation of my given name, but wasn't really satisfied with this, so during the ensuing months i have been considering another name. There are plenty of nice names but they all seemed to remind me of someone i know. (I wouldn't want my wife to get the wrong idea and think i had named myself after them.)
Recently on the computer i saw the name Krea (she is a fictional adventuress) and it really appealed to me. I love the sound of it and the fact that i don't know anyone else with that name is a real plus. :)
My name, Olivia Lauren, was chosen in remembrance of a special lady that I met on a long distance flight many years ago. I was lucky enough to be seated next to her on an overnight flight. I can still remember how beautiful she was at first sight. Her style and grace and poise were beyond that of any woman I had ever met. Nervously I introduced myself and in minutes we were talking together as if we had known each other our whole lives. We talked and laughed the night into morning when we landed in London. We exchanged contact information and shared one kiss before parting. It was like I was walking on a cloud the next few days. The smell of her perfume lingered in my mind.
Two days later as we had agreed I tried calling her number. There was no answer on the first two tries but on the third time calling a women’s weeping voice answered. “Olivia!” , I said. “What is wrong?” The voice on the other end was Olivia’s roommate. She explained to me that Olivia had been killed in an automobile crash by a drunk driver.
To say the least I was crushed. I often think of how my life would have been if Olivia Lauren and I would have married.
Thank all of you who read this for letting me remember Olivia and our one special night together.
(((((hugs))))), Olivia
I always dreamed as being Gabby, since I was 12 . When dressed with my mother clothes. I sang a song referencing my self like Gabriela. And my last name bcause of return to the future.
I picked my name as Wendy, because I really like it!
I chose michele my name as a variant of my boy name. always thought it was so fem. am lucky today as i am dressedonly have a few things to wear but love what I have. planning to get more when money permits. all the ladies have beautiful names.
I chose Jenny as I liked that name from my teens.
Hi,
It took me a while to get my name. I started with female versions of my male name, but they never seemed quite right.
Then I thought about other names I liked. Simone and Kylie were my favourites. Unfortunately, Simone was out because that's my wife's middle name. Kylie was out because I'm Australian, and I didn't want to sound like a cliché.
A few months ago I got Michelle! Has a nice sound to it, in my ears. Can be shortened to either "Mich" or "chelle" or "shelly" (as we do in Australia)
Cheers!
I don't really know how I decided on my name Rachael. I guess I just liked it.
I've tried to work on female versions of my male name, but I didn't felt them as mine. At a certain point an old school mate's name came back to my mind, I adopted it and finally I felt it as mine, and now I'm proud to call my female name: Milena
Tina... it's cute and short.
I’m bouncing all over the place on this, but today it’s Kat
I knew a girl named Cheryll in the past, she was really cool and I loved the name. Not sure why I threw "lynn" on the end of it, but I like the way it sounds. :-D And honestly, until a few months ago I never even thought about a female name...
-Cheryllynn
This Name Thread section is probably as good a place for me to bring this up. I'd like the usual advice, wisdom and loving understanding I always receive from my Sisters here.
ILENE is a construct of joining the forum discussion board. I needed a femme name when I signed up for an CD.com account. I didn't regularly use a female alias so I quickly seized upon my mom's middle name. Always loved the sound of it anyway. So.... right now, I am proudly "Ilene".
As I go down my crossdressing path into a more transgender realization and transition, I find myself thinking of a more practical name that may be more easily normalized with a transitioned femme existence.
[For the first time, I am going to reveal personal info about me. But I trust my friends and sisters here to not mis-use it.]
My given male first name is Tom. Most of my childhood my parents and family called me Tommy. I cringed at that name when I was a child. I don't know why it irritated me so to be called Tommy, but it did. As an adult I used the more common Tom.
While I love the name Ilene, as I consider the possibility of transitioning to life as a woman (full time), I am also thinking of aligning my femme name with my bio male name and calling myself something akin to who I've been known as all my life by all: TOMMI.
TOMMI would be a version of my real Tommy name, and I could feminize the spelling. I can't help but believe that some day it will make changing my life documents a little easier too. And everyone already knows me as Tommi [Tommy].
Help? Thoughts? I value what you girls have to offer.
PS: Does anyone know HOW to change your Forum board name on this website? I may want to change it there too.
Hi Ilene
You can start a name change thread at the link below

Thanks, Shelly.
I still want to throw this out for ideas and discussion with trusted forum members. I'll start a fresh thread on the subject of changing MY name.
Peace.
I chose Robin because he was my first gay BF. My intimate girl name is Danie:battingeyelashes:
lle..either works for me butt I prefer Danielle now.
I chose Sally largely because I needed a name to get set up here, but the more I use it the more I like it. Don't think I've ever known a Sally so I chose the first name that came to me
Renee, picked name for 2 reasons, one is Renée Richards, the 2nd is the meaning, reborn/born again, kinda fits.
I love the name Alexandra and I love leather, so my name reflects this!
I had never taken a Female name until needing one to join this forum.
It just so happened that a few mornings before joining they were joking about creating your Rock Star name as the Name of your first pet and the road you grew up on.
Brutes didn't seem appropriate for this, he was my first dog as a child, so I went to our first female pet growing up and it sounded pretty good.
So now we have Ashley Walker
I do not have a female name and I can say I really don't want one.
It seems that I am the only here that doesn't not have a female name.
Not sure why I don't desire a female name, but I am who I am and a name is just a name.
I settled on Jenny as I love the name, Brogai is because that means shoes in the Irish language :)
Jenny, very good...most people think Brogai means "an Irish accent"Quote:

I chose Babbs because of signing up I had to choose a name and all the good one's were taken...lol Babbs is a nickname for Barbara, and it's somewhat unique. I like it now and since I've started to go out in public en femme, its nice to have a girls name when asked what your name is
I chose Jenn as it's short for Jennifer, which is a name I have always liked. Plus it also fits in with the initials that most of my family has.
You're not the only one mate, I have no need or desire for another name.
Years back I settled on Sherri, as it's close to my male name and Christopher, as that's my Confirmation name, hence, Sherri Christopher!
My real life (male) name is Monty. I went with Monnica, because it combines the name. The two n’s in my name represent me and him. I have to try in this life to be both when needed.
I needed a name for the forum and some email friends and thought of names starting with the same letter as my male name. Didn’t want a feminized version like Davida so settled on Danielle. Last name is from a next door neighbour when I was a teen. Liked her but never had the courage to ask her out.
I suggested the use of a female name to my wife years ago since I thought it would be convenient when out shopping together etc. But she definitely wanted no part of that and I never pursued it again with her.
I was originally going with Debbie when I first thought I needed a name even though I didn't venture into public and nobody knew I dressed. So when I started going out I figured I better come up with a name I'll remember to use so I went with Danicka and for the forum I use a short form of Danni. Chose Danicka because I liked the sound of the name, my real name is Daniel and I also liked Danicka Patrick from Nascar. So it has stuck for many years now.
My name comes from one of my favorite shows growning up. I used to watch the original ‘Dark Shadows’ tv show growing up. There was a character name Victoria Winters. And the show would start every episode with “My name is Victoria Winters,....” and discribe what was happening in the last few episodes. It was totally a soap but had monsters and cool vampires... not the sparkly ones. I feel in love with the name Victoria. I always though it was such a beautiful name and kinda fancy. I generally will go by Vicky since it’s a little shorter and easier to say.
I chose Kelly because I used to work with a girl with that name and I thought she was pretty cool. Also I just like the ring of it.
