How's the test drive going?
Lol, I picked my femme name for the same reason; my parents had picked that name in case I was born a girl. Anna Lorree Gillespie. Lorree is a family name on my dad's side of the family.
I figured I have to live with what my parents picked as a male name, just as I would have if I had been born female, so why not use the name they had picked?
Anna
At one time I thought I made up the name Larissa so between that and having a girlfriend named Laurie I really liked I just linked the two together to have a unique set of feminine names. They help to feel girly when dressed girly.
Okay, so my mum who either has alzheimers or dementia has recently taken to calling me Carla. This is when I'm in guy mode. But actually I can relate to Carla from Coronation Street, so I'm switching from Nicki to Carla. It seems to fit.
I wanted a name that started with the same letter of my male name and I've always thought Jasmine was a pretty name so I went with it. I like it and it makes me feel good when I hear it.
I chose Mackenzie because I thought it was a really pretty name. And I didn't want a common name. Nothing wrong with those, just not for me .
I have always been Jennifer,but,I have entertained the name Samantha as well.
I got Leliana from from a game that I play Dragon age
I think Alinne is a cute name, and Lima I put because is the last name of a beatiful brazilian model who a like
Urmila is my fem name which was given to me by my wife and I loved it when she suggested it
I picked Julie because every woman I have ever met named Julie was beautiful and very impressive. And Madsen for Virginia Madsen. I love her,
How about Violeta. Pronounced (Vee - of - let- ah) It's the spanish version of Violet and much prettier sounding I think.
Pamela Kay is what my mother (who wanted a girl) was going to name me if I was a girl, she called me PJ for most of my younger years which was for Pam and my male name. So I guess I have really always been Pam.
Mine came about because my girlfriend liked it, picked it. The spelling because when I went to register here it wasn't taken. Sherrii. I like it though.
Kylie is a play on my middle name. I also really like Ashley, and I was leaning towards it, but I felt it wasn't me.
i don't know really. i've always loved the name. it's always felt like a part of me. plus, it's the name of one of my favourite people, emma anderson from lush!!!
i just like the name Stacy, it does have the first letter from my other name, it sounds sexy, and its goes with black hair,
A friend named me. It was so much better then anything i have tried before. When she named me. My first thought was "omg why didn't i come up with it. it makes perfect sence and feels right!!" best part is... it's a good nickname for my real name!! so i can use it all the time!!!
[SIZE="4"]Not sure but when my mother got her last cat it was a female calico and she named the cat Phoebe. I asked her why Phoebe? She said if I been born a girl she would have named me Phoebe. Then my sisters came later and they were named Judy and Nancy? I chose Janet, there was a neighbor girl who was pretty and named Janet, took that in memory of her. [/SIZE]
Mines Scarlett Lynn. A friend came up with it and i fell in love with it ever since then.
my partner who is also my best friend gave it to me. out of nowhere she called me sandy. i reacted by saying
" who's sandy?"
she went "you are silly"
"why sandy?"
"i don't know it makes sense and its sorta sounds like your last name."
since then i've been going as sandy michaels. my birth name reversed.
Mine is from a dead cat.................. long story
I named myself after an ex-fiance who went ballistic when I revealed myself to her. During one heated exchange, I asked her if she had rather I was a rapist or child abuser. She said "yes". My being a crossdresser was absolutely the worst thing I could have been for her. Obviously, we didn't last much longer, but I got my engagement ring back and loved wearing it when I was Paula!
Mine is the month in which I was born and my favorite Poe story.
I cheated when I chose mine. I wanted to stick with somehting beginning with "R" to match my given name and then did a web search for baby names and looked through all of the Rs. Came across Renee, with a meaning of "reborn" and figured how fitting since I kind of feel reborn when I am CDing.
My first crush was on a very pretty young girl named Kelly. I always thought it was a pretty name.
My mother has told the story a hundred times of how I was supposed to be a girl and since I wasn't, she just gave me the first boy name that popped into her head. (It's an okay name considering the lack of planning.) She'd been planning to have Elizabethamy all along, and 50 years later, I guess she did. But she doesn't know about elizabethamy, nor does my wife, who has been terrific in the few days she's known about my dressing, but who doesn't know that elizabethamy has emerged to the degree that she has....
I picked mine because it has same first letter and is close to my given name.
Steffi
Mines Jazmin, cause i love the name when its shortend "Jaz" :)
I chose *Alexia because when I was overseas, I met the most beautiful Romanian girl I have ever seen. She is my perfect vision for how I want to look when I dress. We shared the same birth month and year, and the day was only off by nine days!!
It was easy for me, I only had to change last letter from w to a. :-) ... and I used to work with a girl whose name was Andrea. Like the way it sounds too.
It was actually my wife who, to my delight, suggested that I should have a feminine name when dressed. She picked the name for me and I love it.
Add to my earlier comment: I'm now finding out that my wife doesn't yet like the idea of this separate persona named elizabethamy. She knows what the name means -- it's from my mother's too-often-repeated story about how i was supposed to be a girl with that name. So I think when the time comes, I will let her rename me, once she realizes that the boy name just won't work when I'm in a dress.
I used to watch Day of our lives and kayla brady was what i wanted to be. so changed the spelling and now im Kaela. Love the name suits me so well
my mum and sister given my female name of samantha. my said the were go to name samantha if i was a girl and not a boy.
I've thought forever on my fem name and haven't come up with anything permanant. JoleeCube was thought up on the spot when joining. At times when I've dated girls that I could open up to, I would let them give me names, I've been called molly, carrie, and christina (it's clostest to my real name) I'll eventually find one I am happy with but for now, call me jolee.
Going to try the name shannon out its my first attempt at picking a name so dont know if I will stick with it but I guess time will tell. I picked shannon because its not to far from my own name (shane) and it also has links with where I was born the shannon is the biggest river in ireland
My female name is McKailah Autumn. At one point in time I used the name Chelynne Grace, but that name didn't seem to fit my personality as much as I would like it to. My wife and ex sister-in-law helped me come up with McKailah Autumn a few years ago, and I love it. The spelling of McKailah was my wife's handy work, since she loves to spell things unlike the ways she has seen them, and Autumn came from an anime that I watched back in high school.
I don't really feel that I have a female persona, but it makes it easier dealing with online stuff. Cassandra was my favorite girl's name, which my wife and I would have used if we had had a daughter, but all I can make are boys, apparently. :p So I figured what the heck! Violet is just because I love the purple end of the spectrum.
My first post! Hi to all those who see this. I am brand new to CDing, but I'll get into that later. The name I love is .. Melody .. because music is a huge part of my life, and since I now have a whole new world open to me, I can have a name that suits my love!
I am same as Melody; this being my first post.
I liked a girl in school named Bethany & thought if i ever had a daughter that name would be top of the list.
Because Bethany was always taken whenever I had to have an on-line name. I had to come up with a unique spelling.
Hence "Befanie" was born & I have grown to like her very much! I did not know I would be "my daughter" lol!!:heehee:
It's nice to hear everyone's stories (:
My name is a combination of a couple of things:
-Kali comes from a GG I once worked with. She was incredibly beautiful, and had the vibe that I wish I could capture in myself.
-Brooke is a name that I've always liked. I wanted a name to go with Kali, and I think it has a nice ring to it. Plus, it's an homage to the beautiful Kelly Brook, another inspirational GG for me.
My name came from my partner. I was blown away by his acceptance, and even more blown away when he came right out with a name for me that we both really like!
I took the first 3 letters of my real first name, and created what I thought was a new name, since most names were already taken.:) After googling I found out it is a real woman's name.
The name Roxxy was given to me on my first trip to Janets Closet here in Michigan. The girl that was helping me with my purchase had given it to me since I had not come up with a name at that point. The wife approved and there has been no thoughts of changing it. Roxxy rocks and the wife adores her, well not as often as I would like but you know what I mean.
Hey all! Like Melody and Bethany, my first childhood crush's surname was Joyce. I've loooved the name ever since! I don't know if it's the joy inside of it, but it just makes me feel happy and optimistic :) The J comes from my own name. This way my nickname can be JJ hehe...
<3
I love the name I chose and its story. Ta�*s it's a greek name, and it means "the one who should be contemplated, admired". The first time the name was recorded in History was from a courtesan from King Alexander's. <3 I think it sounds very cute and I feel it expresses a lot of my femininity.
Named myself Kimberly, came to my mind, because i met one girl with that name ,wich open my eyes and mind. and also i like this name much.
Since I originally posted in August of last year. I have dropped Gabrielle and actually nolonger use it, except maybe as part of a hyphenated middle name. Now I prefer to use Ashley.Quote:
