I just like the name i guess. And i think it fit with my personality too.
Like a lot of CDers I chose a name that was just a little "over the top". I originally wanted to go with Sabrina, but my wife thought I should do something a little less dramatic and suggested Savannah. I've always thought that choosing a name for yourself is a little odd. When we are born, a name is given to us and we grow into it. For that reason I decided to keep the name she gave me. I went simply with "Vee" for a last name because my real last name is fantastic for a woman. I just don't have the guts to reveal it, and if I did, it would sound "over the top"!
This is a story of many names.
At first, there was Tatiana Stivali, no specific reason other than my love for Italian high-heeled boots and the name Tatiana.
Then, when I met my first CD group in S?o Paulo, and I forgot why, but changed my name to Veronica Heels (I know, I know).
After that, because of a very special girlfriend, she made me change my name to Samantha Pink (because of Sex & the city and, well, she loved the colour pink).
Then here in Canada, I decided to really give some thought about it and went back to the first time I realized that I not only liked pretty girls, but I also wanted to BE one (well, at least sometimes). And then I remembered Giovanna, an exuberant, beautiful classmate at my English classes when I was a young teenager. She was around 20, absolutely stunning and always, always in high heels - mainly boots, makeup, big earrings... I was always in awe. And she got a liking to that small boy and treated me as one of her best friends (while I was only trying to stop drolling over her).
So, that's it. Giovanna it is!
Johanna from my guy name John and Sophia from my my mom's middle name which she hated but I think rolls nicely, certainly better than the Emma she claimed.
I came up with Beth when I joined a 3D based adult oriented game years ago.
Recently I learned of fetlife and thought it might be a good place for me to meet local people with an interest in crossdressing in the hopes of finding someone to teach me how to handle wigs and styling and perhaps teach my wife how to do my makeup as my hands shake too much to do it myself.
Unfortunately nobody I have met thus far actually seems interested in meetings friends, only sex partners so it is not serving my needs.
In any event while trying to come up with a user name on fetlife I came up with Beth In Tights which tied my old name in with my love of wearing womens clothing and it just felt right.
My name came about because , my oldest daughter and I started getting along and two of her friends said we should go shopping with me dressed. My daughter 18, her friends 18 and 19. my 38 girl jeans short heels stuffed bra, wig make-up. Many first on this day, first time out not about having sex, first time out with young girls, first time daylight shopping dressed, The first place we went my daughter kept calling me DAD, and her friends called me MR."D". So when got out of the place we needed some thing to call me by, one of them came up with Donna, and the is what it has been ever sense. The Lynn was added by a girl friend at latter date.

Thank you Leslie
I chose Brooke because I love spending time in the mountains and "Brooke" seemed like a way to incorporate that vibe into a feminine name. Still working on my middle name though.
I found it difficult to pick a name as I had a few ideas and didn't want to pick something only to end up changing it after I'd committed to it.
After several months of toying with different names, including female variations of my male name, I kept coming back to Kelly as it just felt more me.
My mother wanted a girl, Stefania it was her choice..Steph in English.
Ashley and Claire share first letters with my real first and middle names. "Ashley" felt like a good change, while still being close and vaguely androgynous. I've just always like the name Claire. I later added a last name just to complete the identity. I believe it was inspired by a girl who I once worked with.
There was a young woman I saw on a TV show a few years ago named Larissa. I'd never heard that name before, but it just sounded so pretty that when it came time to choose a female name for myself, it was the natural choice. I always liked Cassandra and thought it was sexy. After "discovering" Larissa, though, Cassandra sounded better as a second name. Up till recently I didn't know that Cassandra was in mythology a woman who could predict the future but no one believed her! I certainly don't have that power, but still love the name!
Ahhh, what?s in a name? I like the name Sienna, it?s not super common and a bit fun.
I chose for the name Izzy, because I like it. When I put a different wig on, my female form has a different name. But one of my favorite wigs have I called Izzy. But, if I was born as a girl, my mother would've called me Daphne or Daisy. Izzy however sounds better to me, because I think it's a cute name for a woman.
Welcome to the group Izzy.
My girlfriend gave me the name Grace.
My name is from my first crush when I was 12. She was a beautiful girl. And added first letter in my last name
My name is derived from my birth color as well as my favorite forms.
Hi, CandySam here. I've been meaning to say Hi for ages. My name Sam/Samantha is derived from my "normie" name.
I'm from South Africa.
I saw "Camille" in a book and liked it because it is not incredibly common, I didn't know anyone with that name, it's very pretty and feminine sounding to me, and has a double-letter. I love names with double-letters.
My full femme name I chose is Camille Anne Green. "Anne" I find pretty and also has a double-letter. "Green" was for Rachel Green on the show FRIENDS, who is beautiful and always in fashion.
Hello Candy Samantha. Welcome to the forums.
The value of all the letters in my name is 162. Yours is 80.
I tried for a sequence of 5 letters, 4 letters, 3 letters but I erred with my first name. I need to drop of the final 'e'.
Oh well, life goes on.
Hi all, my first post in here! Although (at 48) I have known for years that I'm very femme, I have only just come out to my wife. She's been 100% supportive, for which I count my blessings.
As for a name, Luna is my cats name, lol, but I am drawn to "Dee" as it is the same initial as my given name.
Hello All, New to well, everything sort of. My name is Denise Allen, 53
Hi Lunamoon. Please fill out an introduction. My sister, all her 78 year life has gone by the nickname "Dee" Her real first name is Mercedes, the automobile but she got it from her grandmother whose name was two different cars. Mercedes and Cooper. I almost chose Mercedes Cooper as my name. Maybe Mercedes Reo Cooper.
I've seen so many lovely names in this thread (after spending waaaaaaay too much time reading the pages therein!). They're so interesting and nuanced much of the time.
But I do love Marissa very much. I've no foundational reason why I selected the name... It literally popped into my head some time ago and stuck.
However, I do think I was subconsciously driven to select something that was easily pronounced without modification in several LatinX languages. Ma-riss-uh can quickly become Ma-rees-uh with the simple roll of an R. :heehee:
However, because of the above, I often do consider dropping a single "s" from my name.
(sigh) First-world girl problems.
My initials are WHS. I was just looking through female names Willow and Hanna stood out.
I have also really liked the name Willow being a Buffy fan.
just a cute bartender I knew in the old days named Audrey. It's got a kind of 'old fashioned ring to it' like Audrey Meadows on the old Jackie Gleason show. It's not a popular name these days, but it mean 'noble strength'
mine is Raiku. pronounced Rye Koo.
You do know that Raiku in Japanese is "Lake"
I've choosen Patty to be closed to my real name but also to find something feminine.

And in France, Camille can also be for men or women. It's not gendered...Quote:

What a sweet origin! Welcome to the forum, Chloe!Quote:

However, when Chloe writes about crossdressing, the heroine frequently thinks of herself as Allison or Allie. So Camilla or Chloe or Allie works just fine. I think of all of them as the girl in the mirror.
Mine comes from a Song by my fave band The Cure.
Mine is the name of a friends girlfriend he dated many years ago. I have adopted her complete full, middle and last name and DOB online. When a search was done of my name on FB she was right above my name, if she only knew who i was if she were to see me.
I didn't know what I should call myself and when I started to go through girls names I discovered Rachael (not Rachel). The Rachael I knew was a friend of my younger sister at high school and she was a lovely girl. I also thought it a lovely name and I have been known as Rachael for over 20 years to my CD friends.
Hi , My name Debbie comes from an office. I used to work in and my lifelong love of tights/ pantyhose. The majority of girls that I liked that wore them were called Debbie.Denier is based on coverage of the nylons. Regards. Debbie
My favourite female name is Charlotte and as I love anything sparkly I combined Charlotte with Sparkle. I liked the resultant name so went with that.
I didn't have a female name for years, until I bought a computer in my early 30s and got into gaming.
I liked to play as a feminine character, and started using the name 'Wendy' as, inside, I feel a lot like a
'Wendy', if you know what I mean (you probably do).
After that, I just kept it - modified occasionally for different fora and games.
When I went to join-up here, 'Wendy' was in use, and my alternative version, 'Wenda', wasn't recognised
by the forum software, so I added a middle name, Lynette, and then hyphenated them into 'Wendy-Lyn.
I like it, it seems to suit me, and as it's been my female name for so long it feels as real to me
as my male name.
Like a favourite dress, it just 'feels right'.
I chose my name on a whim, I remember the first time I fully dressed after rediscovering the desire a few years ago. I was in stockings, panties, high heels, bra, dress and wig I looked at myself and started filming myself on my phone and I just said “my name is Josephine” as an intro without hesitation. Upon reflection there was a girl named Josephine I had a crush on in high school but had not thought of her in over 25 years before that day when Josephine was born. Now when I dress I fully become Josephine and actually feel and speak differently. I love the transformation and I feel like it comes from somewhere deep inside just as my femme name bubbled up from my subconscious unrehearsed and without thinking. It feels natural.
Can't quite remember how I chose my name, probably as it sounds a bit better than Butch! :D
I remember "Zoey" is a character from Left 4 Dead (A zombie video game) lol and August 29, 1997 is "Judgement Day" in Terminator 2
I met this girl called melissa, and she was wonderful so when i was thinking about a name that gave me the best vibes so i borrowed it haha
A woman named Liliana. She was a one in a million woman. I had never met anyone so interesting. Using her name reminds me of the feelings I had for her.
For me I always had a thing for Lindsay Lohan when I was younger and that I love pantyhose
"Reyna", is Queen in Spanish, and "Roland" because I love music related things, and it just sounded fierce when put together! Oh boy and does she ever exist now, that girl has been very out since the pandemic started, and shes not trying to stay in the "closet" these days!!! The struggle I tell ya!
When I was first wrestling with my crossdressing urge, at some point -- maybe here -- I needed to provide a name. I hadn't considered what a female me would be called, and I was still very judgmental of men who put on women's clothes, especially myself. The phrase "Nancy boy" came to mind, and here I am. At the local transgender support group, I used "Nancy" for my membership and shortly realized that I should have chosen something that sounds like my given male name, maybe "Ruth", because someone in the room said "Nancy" to get my attention, and it didn't work. I have evolved a lot since then, and now I'm kind of fond of "Nancy". I like who I am, and I just need to spend more time in social situations where I can get used to it.
The name I chose is Valerie, I got the name Valerie from a song off a R&B compilation album. I stuck with it ever since.
