my male name is edwin bruce and i just figured e.b. ,hence ebie.unusual but somehow delicately femm.
my name i have chosen because my best friends sister was the first one that figured
out my secret and that i was ((borrowing)) her outfits and she became my new secret
best friend but her name is jessica and my first real girlfriends name was linda so i changed my
name to jessica lynn
Still trying to figure out my name. Since I am just now embracing this side of me, I have never thought of giving myself a female name. Nothing feels right yet.
Arlene from Arlene Francis & Arlene Dahl.
Raquel comes from the gorgeous MsWelch.
"Dawn" is pretty close to my male name, so when someone calls out my (female) name I know to answer. :)
just the female version of my name. Plus I think it's cute :3
I chose the name Jamie Marion because it is bi-gender but predominantly feminine. Some boys are still named Jamie but mostly it is a girl's name. Marion with an "o" rather than an "a" also used to occasionally be a masculine name but it is now generally a feminine name. It seems to me that girls have more freedom than boys in names, and once a particular name starts being applied to girls it stops being used for boys. So for me my name connotes that I have chosen femininity over masculinity - I like thinking of myself as a girl and would prefer "selected" others to think of me as someone who was born masculine and is still biologically male but prefers to be considered as and addressed as a girl.
Mine was the first gal I dated
Hanlie is the female version of my male name. Just feels right to have two versions of the same thing, same as me. I also really like the name, it feels right to me.
Hanlie.
Mine is Julia :)
Mine is Adriana- a friend picked it out for me
Hi my female name is Joanie
My name is Sephina, years ago roughly 6 when i started playing WoW (before i identified as Trans) i made a human female paladin with black hair that i wanted to name a female variant of one of favorite video game character of all time Sephiroth. I ended up liking the name so much and i identified with my character so it stuck :D
Hey I have just joined this group. I am excited but don't know how to go ahead. I would love to be member of group forever
Robbin is close to my real name. It was the name used by my best friend's family.
Women were always my best and sometimes only friends. Another realization recently realized. Her name was Randy. She probably controlled the relationship which made me able to be at ease. Another realization recently realized.
Oh forgot, Sinclair. I think of the green logo dinosaur. Contemplated at first it was to be like an old fashion stripper's name. Now it has less importance. Like real names, the first one means a lot.
Robbin and her male counterpart are close. Being a family CD site, I won't tell you what that boy tries to do to her. Lucky she's in the program.
My husband still hasnt choosen one, after all these years he hasnt. He wants me to help him pick out his name but I'm stumped!!
Kitty. Friend chose it for me. Wife doesn't know it yet, so I imagine she may want a name change soon.
It's on my driver's licence! Thanks mom and dad, it was worth all the teasing in school.
Hi. My name is Sylvia which is close to my real name. I later added CD2 as a surname.
This has been coming for a while and I've been stumped. On the forum it's Annie M not really sure why... I don't really like the name. But after a week in fem with out much inspiration to go back and generally being accepted I was asked by one of the guys at work, "So what do we call you now?" And it came to me in that moment " Just put an ie on Bill " so I guess my famine name will be Billie Jean or just Billie. And it is a name that's in my family and its easy to answer to. Now the hoops to make it legal no clue.
Laura, always has been Laura. I used to put the "CD" after it when i was younger, but chatting with a very activist trans friend, she once told me "You don't need the CD thingy after your name, Laura should be enough for anybody". She has been a very strong influence in my ideas about gender. You choose a name for you, a name that has a meaning. Laura comes from latin, and it's related to victory. Since i found that what i am and what i want required some "fighting", i couldn't think about any other name. And the "wulff" is similar to my real surname, at least on the meaning side..
I chose Victoria because it was the first one that came to my mind (kind of like word association, or Rorshack inkblot tests). Now I realize its too long to comfortably say every time, so people would just call me Vicky. I don't like Vicky; it sounds too much like a ****ty stripper/hooker name :(
Maybe that says something about my subconscious?
Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
I spent ages swapping and changing and then was forces to decide on one when joining the Beaumont Society. So I settled on Sally Rebecca as I wanted to keep the same initials as my male name (I don't now know why I thought that important) and I wanted a simple name after meeting too many people with elaborate names. Also after Sally Bowles from the Christopher Isherwood books, Sally Solomon from third rock from the sun.
Sally
Not sure of my "female" name. Friends called me Clara when I was in high school, never really knew why but I like it. Maybe Kara (a longtime nickname) or Clara but I have to know who/what I am before.
Excuse me for my English, it stills a bit rusted.
Kara from Paris
Kevyn. My mom said I was going to Kevin or Kevyn whatever sex I was born. Of course I don't think she thought I was going to be both!
I considered a few other names. My real name Rex (actually Rexford) has a feminine form of Regina. That could be shortened to Reggie, but that still sounds to masculine, or Gina, which sounded too much like a drag queen name to me. My other concern was that I wanted to be able to talk about my feminine side without having men wanting me to introduce them. Names like Gloria, or more exotic names would be harder to ignore and easier to associate.
I had had several women friends named Debbie, (Deborah actually), and I associated that name with fun, playfulness, and just a joy of life, because of my friends. These were women I wanted to emulate. My sponsor said "Like Debutante?", which almost made me think about another choice, but I realized it was a good name for "Coming out".
The last name "Lawrence" is my mother's mother's mother's maiden name, and after her husband left her in Missouri, she homesteaded in Montana with her sister, where women could own land. She then went to Central City where she realized that she could become very rich selling baths to miners and doing laundry for the saloon girls. Particularly relevant was that she had to wear a skirt over her pants when she went into town, because women who wore pants into town were often tarred, feathered, and rode out of town on a rail. It looked funny at the time, but most people died a horrible death within a week or two afterward.
Wow Im new to this forum and untill reading this post I hadnt thought about having a femme name. I read this last night and my GG friend messaged me asking what I was doing so I told her I was reading this thread. She asked me what name I would have. I didnt know and asked her if she had any ideas. She messaged me back and said she liked Nicole it reminded her of the old Renault adverts and thought it was a cute name. I told her I did like it. She then said to me how would I feel to be called Sandra Nicole. This took me aback as her name is Sandra. I asked her wouldnt that be a bit awkward. Her answer was " I would be honoured if you took my name and I would call you by it if you wanted me to. So not even 24 hours later I have the name Sandra Nicole and I love it!! My sign in name was just something to register with so it meant nothing to me but when my GG friend gave me her name I washonoured to have it. Thank you Sandra for my new name.
Sandra Nicole.
By the way how do I change my login name hehe
Does anyone like my femme name alexis or tiffany
Is that you in your avatar if so I would say a definate Tiffany. :thumbsup: :cheer:Quote:

Well, I guess I will tell you about two names instead of one, as their stories are kind of related (although one is very lame).
When I first started accepting I was at least part woman I thought a lot about a name, and planned to ask my parents to give me a female name when I came out to them. However, before that happened, a name just landed on my head like a butterfly. The name was Myrna and I went by that name for a couple of years.
Back then I still separated my two genders as separate lives. One "place" where I presented myself as female, was an MMO server. Eventually I went from player to staff member and was required to maintain separate identities as player and staff member. I had just read Alan Moore´s Promethea, so I picked that name.
Since then, I changed my views on gender, and stopped playing that game, so I dropped the name Myrna. However, I feel strongly identified with the character of Promethea (I recommend reading the graphic novel, but for those that haven´t read it, she´s an entity that appears several times during history, embodied in someone that invokes her through artistic creation, and plays a different role each time; the one in the novel is in charge of bringing the apocalypse, not as in the end of the world but as in the dropping of the veil) and through my work and my daily life I have always been trying to do what she does.
So I now use the name when I engage in magickal activities (which can be many things, magick is done in several different ways), and feel it even more as my name since an experience I had last summer. As part of a guided meditation, I had to go to the center of the earth, where I would meet someone very important to me, who would give me some advice or tell me something. The person I met there was the eight Promethea, the one from the book. She just smiled at me, hugged me, and game me her caduceus. Since that moment I do fully consider myself to be the ninth vessel of Promethea.
I just wrote my reintroduction post (I´m coming back after years away from the forum), and mentioned I am considering transitioning. If I go through with it, Promethea will most likely be my name.
You would have to PM the admins. Beautiful name, by the way :)Quote:

When I was active I was Andi.
It was a name a girlfriend I trusted came up with for me.
Hi! I like being called Jennifer, nice to meet you all.
I have called myself by different names but I think the name Nannette is so glamorous albeit a tad retro.
For many years I went by the name of Jacqueline or Jaqui to my friends.
When I decided to go "full-time" I told my mother. She told me that my father and her had been expecting a baby girl and I arrived. She told me she had chosen the name Linda as the name. I took the middle name Marie from my maternal grandmother and my surname from my mothers maiden name as my gran had died when i was around a year old.
Linda
Hey, since i started Crossdressing a few years ago ive always called myself Kaitlynn idk why i like the name i just do haha.
I'm Sam so naturally Samantha works :)
The only reason I choose a name for myself so quickly is to secure an e-mail address. I love the name Amanda and no one in my life has that name. But I wasn't sure until beginning to play with the name in my mind.
You see, my sense of humor is unique, well maybe I just want to think it is. Life is supposed to be fun. Right? So in playing around with the name Amanda, and saying it slowly, I came up with A - Man - DUH. Just perfect for a cross dresser.
I can't be the first one to think of that, but it fits me and my personality.
Plus, it would make a great title for a blog!!:D
The Jean part was added because I love that whole two name thing girls have going on. Bobby Jo, Norma Jean, etc...
My co workers came up with my CD name without even knowing that I am into crossdressing, I have a disability that causes short term memory loss and I could best describe myself like Dora the fish on Finding Nemo, one day I was so bad for memory at work that one of my co workers told me she was going to call me Dora then after that it dawned on me that will be my CD name:)
Why? it is the first initial of my name and then added to Lilith my Goddess. Well I am a Transvestite Techno Pagan CHAOS Witch, not many of us about. I have other Goddesses, I am an active Witch.
Be blessed
Blilith
My female name is Bianca because my mum said if I was born a girl that is what my name would've been.
over the years, ive had so many names to choose from, judy, stacy, stevie, laurie and finally i just decided on joanne, i like it , it is a perfect fit
I was just amusing my self as I could not sleep last night so I came up with another name should I wish to change. The name is an anagram of my boy name and surname, bet you can't work it what my real name is.
Ms Karen Tager
Regards
Maria
The name I started using for my inner identity was a spur of the moment decision, chosen because it was the name of a character I identified with in a game at the time. (Does anyone remember the animated laserdisc title Space Ace? Kimberly was the girlfriend of the character you were supposed to identify as, but the fact that I saw more of myself in her was a pretty major clue to where my life was headed.) I'd used the name for decades and it carried over into my forum identity ... but I eventually discovered that it didn't really suit me. It's extremely common in our community, for one, and I never liked the abbreviated forms that people inevitably used. Most importantly, it never really felt like my name.
When the time came to change my legal name I put a lot more work into it. I looked at popularity statistics for the year I was born, and trends leading up to the current day. I looked for a family connection, and a sonic similarity to the name I'd been living under for so long. I needed a name that went well with my middle and last names, and one that I liked an abbreviated form of. It had to feel like it suited me. Perhaps most importantly, it had to be a name my wife liked for me. I even practiced signing my new name to make sure I liked the way that felt. If I was going to live with it for decades, it had to be right!
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who chose my female name that way. :)Quote:
