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
