I chose the name of a co-worker...she's a real cutie pie!
When I became serious about not only dressing but transforming myself (temporarily of course) I realized a name was something I might need. Anyways all dressed up in the mirror practicing my fem voice I was rehearsing for conversations my alter ego might have and I tried out a dozen pornstar quality names then Ashley came to mind and the sound of that name seemed to match the face in the mirror
I came up with Hallie from a girl that was a friend in a town that I worked in :) Very pretty too :D
I just used my middle name. :)
A nick name of my favorite sister. to honor her as she passed away 8 years ago
Too morbid I know
Also my nieces used to call me Bobby
I chose Kate, because I know a really strong-willed woman named Kate whom I admire a lot. Plus, I can make it Katie or Kat if I want to!
I chose my name because I have always liked the name Daisy and I thought Dell fit nicely as a sort of "last name"
In the process of picking one. Some options I like are:
Robin/Robyn
Krista
Caroline
Kenzi
Ashley
Gabrielle
Lexi
Heidi
So hard to choose!
I picked Hannah as that's what my parents were going to call me If i was a girl (& now I am...sort of!)
Mine is Jessica Stace because my name is Jeffrey Scott so I wanted to keep the same initials and I always liked the name Jessica. The weird thing is when I decided to us the name it turned out to have the same amount of letters in both names.
My mother named me Karen Adell, and raised me with the name for the first four years of my life. It is my earliest self aware identity, so it was natural to renew acquaintance with my wonderful name. It is like finding my oldest friend.
I chose the name Sejd because I felt that being a TG was something completely impossible to understand. In ancient times when the Vikings lived in what is now Denmark, the Shamans were called Sejdare, and the healing and magic they practiced was callded Sejd. It is also known that some of these Shamans were men living as women. It's a bit strange this name, and hardly anyone knows how to pronouce my name when they hear it, so I should maybe have chosen another more common name. However, I am content with my choice because it connects me to a historical reality and feels rooted. I live in that magic place between the genders and it is OK.
I bought a blonde wig and my wife started calling me Griselda for some reason I still dont know. I dont think she does either. Just before my bithday last week she said Eloise was a nice name. So it stuck.....
I love the name Hannah.Quote:

She was so pretty and centered. So good yet trashy. Her name was unusual though charming. Lovely and lilting. It stuck with me. Moved me to change my name from Elise to Annaliese. A sort of consistency in that. Wouldn't you agree? Both classic and hip. Retro and modern i.e. she was 'The Sh*t'.
So it is. So it shall forever be. Pleased to meet you! Hello girls, allow me to introduce myself (hugs & kisses). My name is Annaliese. I'm a M2F Transgendered Lezzie. Proud of it too. I don't worry about who accepts me. Who doesn't. I am what I am. Don't need to justify. No worry or fuss. Life is for the living.
And I am ALIVE!
Hi gals, I'm just coming out and chose my first name as Cassie May. I'm a cute little blonde hair blue eyed southern girl. I will be posting lots of pics soon once I get it down. But let me know what y'all think about my name, and if you have any ideas of a last name. Thanks, Cassie May:)
The name is cute, Cassie! (Can I call you Cassie? :) ) There's all kinds of ways you can go with a last name. For instance, I took mine from my maternal grandmother's maiden name, for realism and to symbolize my connection to my female ancestry. You might use your own maternal grandmother's maiden name, or the maiden name of another female ancestor. If you have a female figure you admire, either in life or in fiction, you could use their last name, too.

I tried to pick a name that worked for both male and female - Sammy. Samantha It has it's pros and cons, but I like it so far!
I'm not sure why, but I picked Christina a few years back. I had been referring to myself as Stephanie before but changed to Christina. You can call me Tina, Chrissie or Christina. I dont mind. :)
"Finding a name" was a struggle. I really never gave it a thought until I was asked. There was an awkward moment then something stupid came out, I didn't like it but I kept using it despite not liking it. This time last year I had a moment of clarity and came up with Joan Foster. A simple and appropriate.
Joan being the female version of Joan, the name I use when I don't want anybody to know my real name.
Foster being a variant of some of the ways people have screwed up my name.
The name I use is the my real name which is used for a boy or a girl. i just shorten it for my male name.
Not really sure where Kirsty came from... it seems to be a difficult one here in American lol people want to say Kristy :)
I can only point to a character from Shortland Street (a New Zealand soap) from when I was back home.. but I didn't really
her or anything so I don't know why I chose it...... I had to pick a name when I signed up for second life and it just popped into my head.
At times I have thought about a name for my female side proper.... but it just keeps coming back to Kirsty... so now I just
let it be... I kinda like the fact that it just happened rather than choosing a name, it's almost like she has always been here
and I was just waiting to discover her :)
Hi im new here, my female name is Charlotte not too sure why its just a name that has stuck since i have been dressing up :)
As a child I had a crush on a cartoon character: Little Audrey, lol. Seriously. I collected as many of her comic books as I could find when I was young. And of course loved seeing her animated cartoons on TV. So when the time came for a name, I chose that in honor of her plus I really like the name. Miller was given to me by a GG friend when I first joined my support group. I felt it went well together.
-Audrey (and proud of it)
That is so cute of you, Audrey.Quote:

I've only very recently needed a female name. I've gone for Isabella, as I've been reading about Isabella of France, sometimes called the she wolf of France! One of the original femme fatales.
I have chosen Leah because it sounds really nice in Norwegian. :)
Nice choice, Isabella! Of course, most people are going to think of the main character of Twilight with that name...especially if you go by "Bella," as she did.Quote:

I hadn't thought of that! Oops. Or maybe I did subconsciously and that's why I'm not smiling in any of the pics I posted, just like KStew or whatever she's called.Quote:

To my friends; Due to irreconcilable differences and the refusal by administrator to delete my account, I have removed my comments.
My man name is patrick......I have always loved the name Victoria....so to give if a little more sass
I added...Lee.....So my name is Victoria Lee!!!
Picking a name is difficult. Nikita was my first choice but it sounds too much like an adult entertainer so i chose the name April.
I just joined this forum and am glad to have been approved. Crossdressing is something i have been doing since my early teen years (30 years ago) but was never something i went full on (clothing,makeup,wig, Etc...) with until recently when i found myself with the time to explore. I have never branched out or communicated my desire. I am hoping to meet people like me who are open to talk about crossdressing.
Sorry if i posted in the wrong thread but i wanted to introduce myself to the community.
Thanks,
Welcome. Beautiful name April. I hope you find a chance to share and learn here. Just remember, length doesn't matter, it's how you wear the skirt that is important.Quote:

I liked the character on the TV show House and the name has vague connotations for what I do for living at the moment.
Hi my name is Cameron.
Hi Cameron, you may want to put your name where the member position is so that folks w/ now know your name. I'm very forgetful in my "mature" age:heehee:Quote:

I chose Kimberly.
I've thought of a dozen female names, but most I'd rather give to my future daughter. I picked "Kimberly" because I swore my first crush was on a girl with that name, and I've never met in person any female since with that name. But my parents tell me I've never known any one with the name "Kimberly." So... Even better, I guess. Besides, now I can just say it's from the first pink Power Ranger. :p
I never really thought about it to that extent. Since I like dressing in goth I guess a vampires name would be a good fit. Druscilla.
I like the name alexis but I was thinking of tiffany or Katrina
Well CD23. choose one, cause I'm tired of calling you cd23. Are you a statistic or part of a study or something?:heehee:.................:hugs:
I chose mine after my first real crush in my early teens. Her name was Dawn, she was 18 and staying at the same summer resort as my family & I. From the moment I laid eyes on her I was in love. She was very feminine & girly and loved to wear this gorgeous white bikini which she filled out perfectly. Part of me even at that early age wanted to be just like her and I've never forgotten her. So picking my name was very easy for me. I'm still trying to this day to honor her name by being as feminine & girly as she was! Plus, being a part time girl now allows me to strut my stuff in a white bikini of my own!
I haven't really picked one. Unless you're the pope, naming yourself really seems like a weird thing to do. My parents never had a girl's name for me, or at least that's what they always tell me (they did have one for my brothers by the way). That would have been the perfect solution.
My forum handle is just a fantasy name from my list of names I use for video games and such. It was the first one I could use here without having to use an extra number or something.
Tannis here. Not entirely sure how I came up with the name though. I kinda bounced around from name to name for myself, but nothing ever really felt like a fitting name. Then somewhere or another I noticed the name 'Tannis', and it basically hit me like a sack of bricks.
Further to that, I was never really sure what style of clothes I liked to wear, or what type of personality my 'girl mode' had. I was basically just screwing around with makeup and whatever clothes I had access to. After the epiphany, for lack of a better word, not only did I come up with a full name (Tannis Elizabeth Katherine *real last name*), but I chose a bra size (used to be just 'big'... Tannis is officially a B cup), a full personality, attributes, and just about everything that could describe her. I don't think this thread is really for going into more depth, but yeah... Tannis came about from a random epiphany, and spontaneously spiralled into a full-blown alter ego. I've ditched most of my old girl clothes and makeup, since they simply don't fit Tannis' style (outdoorsy type, practical, simple).
I suppose I should add to this, there may have been weed involved. I've taken to keeping a notepad with me at such times, and jotting down all of the amazing thoughts and realizations (actually kinda interesting... it's like a window into analyzing myself), and it was during one of those that all of this spawned from.
When I first came out to my girlfriend with identifying as a girl I told her the name that I was sort of fond of :P
She ended up telling me that she thought it sounded like an escorts name to her and she disliked it and asked me to come up with others since she knew she would be calling me by the name.
I told her the others that also appealed to me and asked my mom in a roundabout way what she would have named me :P
I came up with allison with some of my mom's input and my girlfriend liked that :)
I've been living more as allison every day since then ^^
Nikky. I just like this name
Nikky :)
I just like this name. It sounds cute
Same reason and to honor the same person that Christinac was honoring. Now I honor both of them because they both died way way way too young. Christina was 22 and Christinac as most of you know was 43 about to turn 44.
