Liana is my male name in another language.. thought it sounded good ;)
My first girlfriend was named Emilie. She was my first and only real love. I wanted to name myself like her (but in English with a 'y') to remember the great moment we had before she died in a car crash, 7 years ago! It's maybe my way to never forget.
Lots of fantasies run thru my head... but my actions are limited because I am (Happily) married. She is a wonderful wife of 15 years so I could never "Cheat on her". I told her about my CD persona last week and she took it well (so far). SO... A Virgin CD is what I am and will always be... It isn't the most beautiful name, that's for sure. But the beauty is inside. Outside is the fun "Virgin". MaybeI shold change it to Virginia? But then some people would think that put me geographically in VA?
I needed a femme nickname at one of the first sites i visited en femme. I had a feel that I am really a "Laura" -- but that happened to be taken of course and my second try was Lyta.
Lyta is a fictional character from a TV (*television* ;) ) series that I loved many years ago. She is a very sympathetic character who never really manage to really fit in with "the establishment" for certain reasons, people find her a bit intimidating and scary because her traits are unfamiliar and unnatural to them. She finds close friends among a group of likes, who largely keeps to themselves to avoid conflicts with the rest of society.
Some time after I picked her name as a nickname I realized the parallel with my own life -- or at least the way I imagine my life could have been if I had lived the way I want.
The story continues though: Partially due to her choice to join this group of reclusive half-rebels and refugees, the fictional Lyta finds herself on a journey that changes her life. She becomes a very strong, very determined woman who comes to play a crucial role in the drama. In the end she becomes a person who is respected for what she is and free to live her life as she pleases.
Only time will tell how far the parallell will stretch. :)
I am happy with Lyta as a nickname. At the very least, it is fairly unique. Whether it will stick or whether I will find another one the day I step out remains to be seen. I guess it is a bit like children: When they are born they sometimes come with a name of their own, and the name you finally had worked out during the last 9 months will just have to give way.
Oh, and btw: It is pronounces with a sharp 'y', like in 'yellow' or the German ü. Also known as the "close front rounded wovel". :)
My real name is Brian and when I was a kid I remember some kids calling me Briana to be spiteful. They knew a girl in our school with that name and they decided it was funny to call me that. Anyway, that is just what I have always gone by.
For me it was easy, Shirley is my real middle name, Thanks Mom & Dad, LOL
Both of my sisters have the middle name Lane, and as Robert (aka Rob), Robyn Lane just naturally flowed out. :battingeyelashes:
I picked Lara, because it's the name of my first crush, and Creaft just sounds cool. No story behind those names, just needed a name for this site.
I always liked the name Lisa - simple, yet feminine. The last name comes from a girl I had a crush on in high school.
My real name is Michael so my wife called me Michelle and it has stayed Michelle ever since. When my daughter was born i begged my wife to name her Michelle but she would not relent and so i thought it was ok for me to use it.
Michelle
Mine is Kristie its beocuse my parents named me Crhis and I like the name so I just made it the female.
My boy name is Eli. It seems to go both ways so i added another L and I'm still Elli,:)
just a more fem way of spelling it
The name Debra Is the Name of my wife's best friend and the first letter "D" is the same as mine. Russell for the last name is a name used on both sides of our families.
hi im new! my name is vinnie and vikki sounds alot like it
plus someone called me it by accident and i liked it so :D
My name is Allison since it's the name my youngest brother would have had if he'd been born a girl. So, I'm the girl my parents never had.
The shortened version just came to me one day, I just knew my femme self was Val. A while later my girlfriend called me Valerie when she got mad at me, and I knew that was not right. There aren't many other names that come Val, so I settled on Valentine, but its mostly just Val. No idea for a last name, and I probably won't work on a middle name.
Also, the screen name came from an accidental misspelling that I really liked, because as I figure things out I will become even more Val, in time.
I went with a name that was similar to my guy name, plus when it sounds similar when someone says it it catches your attention right away.
I chose Selena because the moon's light is reflected light, and this metaphor seems to resonate with me because of the way that feminine clothing and make-up bring light into my soul. The problem with metaphors is that they are hard to explain. So is my gender identity.
Because Joan Jett, has such sexy eyses. I just like her attitude!:)
One of my best female friends in high school. we did everything together. we don't really keep in touch anymore but I just loved her name. so i kinda stole it. Allyson with a y instead of an i. That's why I was so intrigued by it.
Allyson means of noble birth - FYI
The middle name, Michelle, is just something I've adopted in my trials of finding a good middle name. LOL!
If i do decide to transition (highly contemplating it) I will adopt my male name (Ryan) as my last name because i hate my last name!
so Allyson Michelle Ryan. has a ring to it huh?
What's wrong with Virginia? I'm in VA!Quote:

I choose Jenny Doolittle.
Jenny because I have always loved that name but more importantly is the last name Doolittle. Growing up, I was much like so many others, tormented because I had two personalities, one male and one female pulling in opposite directions.
The movie "Dr Doolittle" had a fictional animal called a "push-me pull-me" that had two heads on the same body, (looked a bit like a two headed donkey) Anyway it was always stuck going nowhere because each end was trying to go forward. That was how I felt.
I took the last name Doolittle as a result.
I am happy to report that my two personalities heave merged to some degree and I am enjoying who I am now. I think it is important to accept who you are and move forward with life. It is scary to be different, but at the same time you get to enjoy life just a little bit differently the the rest of the world!
:)
My first name easy as I have always liked Ashely. My middle name came from a beautiful female wrestler and it is also the name I gave my car as well, because her hair is red and so is my cars color.
Ashely
I don't use one. At least currently and not sure I need to (yet). The fem version of my male name would be Michelle but that is my sisters middle name and she goes by shelly. I suppose I could go by mikaela. It wasn't popular in my birth year but is now. I also like my grandmothers names of Emma and Elizabeth. In the past I've called my fem self Beth, but it wasn't an identity per se, just a label.
I picked Kaitlynn because I thought it sounded cute and sexy and the same time. I am not sure of the specifics of why I picked it. Other names that I really like are:
Jennifer
Brandy
Chelsea
Tammy
Stephanie
Hey, maybe someone else has an opinion on this. Out of all the names that I considered I wanted to pick on that I had little connection with, or predisposition to. For instance, I did not want a name of a girl that I had previously dated or had a crush on, no relatives or close friends, as well as noone that I was not particularly fond of... I wanted to make it my own identity and let it evolve naturally.
Does that make sense?
Kaity
I picked Tina because I have always liked that name
I chose my name because it is the name of a long dead relative, who was a lesbian, but was never able to "come out", because she lived in the 1800's. She was also a musician, and I have felt a connection with her on that level ever since I was a very young child. I like to flatter myself that she would have approved of my tansgender characteristics.
My real name is Randy so I just changed the "Y" to ee
Randee. Unfortunately the British interpretation means horny. But Randy is my actual birth name. I'm sooo new to all this CD and TS stuff.
HAD MY NAME SINCE I WAS LITTLE ABOUT 7 years it was after i put on my first dress ON,my sisters and found i loved satin...LYINDA:battingeyelashes:
I was named elizabeth by my daughter and then raavan later by my girlfriend, i like raavan elizabeth
Mine just kinda popped into my head. Josephine Michelle Larens. I thought it sounded pretty, so I stuck with it.
I originally used "Kim" because my wife suggested it and I wanted her to be as comfortable with this as possible (she isn't).
I chose Meg after the name came to me during a past-life regression.
I tried Jill, but it never felt right. I don't particularly like my birth name either.
Yesterday when the site was down I created a yahoo account enfemme and used Mikaela as the name, so I guess that decided that.Quote:

It's what I want - from a man came Eve.
So I've been going by Ashe for over a year (short for Ashelynn) and I'm thinking I want Amelie to be my middle name. I still need a last name, though. I'm thinking something French, but I don't know what! Ideas?

Picked Kelly because my guy name starts with a "K" as well so writing it isn't that much different.
I also don't know anyone personally with the name of Kelly so there is no awkward situation waiting to happen.
~Kelly~
I chose mine based on three important women in my life, my deceased best friend when we were fifteen, my great aunt, and my mother.
I'm Jemima Bates.
Jemima because
1) I'm a gem
2) It starts with the same letter as my real first name
3) I think it makes me sound like a posh girl (which I'm not, really)
and most importantly
4) I love the shortened form 'Mimi' so much, and wanted a name that could be shortened.
Jemima or Mimi, I don't really mind. Love both.
Bates because
No idea!
Fun reading through some of you other girls' reasons.... Some nice stories too.
Jemima

My mother gave me my name..
One time she told me "If I had been a girl, my name would of been 'Francine' ".
I remembered that when I began crossdressing and have used the name since.
Francine
I don't quite remember how I came up with Veronica, I think I just knew that it was always with me.
I used to live on the corner of Amanda Street and Williams Street.
I think It would be a cute name for a French maid, my favourite costume ever!
Bridget

My last name is a constellation. I don't know why I picked my first name.
My wife picked it. It is her initials.
I dont know why its just always the name i used since i was a little gurl
Hi! The name I use here at the Website comes from the title of an 80’s pop song, the music from back then reminds me of when I was growing up (and of a time when I was perhaps braver!) and when I would go out to thrift stores and shop for clothes and when I was becoming more conscious of dressing-up.
My male given name has a few corresponding feminine ones which I quite like although I often see some exotic names which I think I would prefer, I guess I haven’t really decided there are so many nice names to choose from I guess I should jot them all down and make a list of favorites and try to pick out the one I really like! For the moment I think I’ll stick with Rio :daydreaming:
