I race Mustangs so I took the name "Salene" from the Saleen Mustang. heh, I'm a dork, I know.
being Irish and needed a name not taken in my family so it came down to Guinness or sinead, as a lover of guinness have to admit it isnt very feminine:drink:
dear marie.thats exactly how i got my name ,my mother had phylis picked out for me had i been a girl.:love:phylisanne
Tammy was and still is one of my favorite waitresses. I had never had the opportunity to actually meet someone with that name. It's always a rush to say her name out loud. I cloned Gams to an abbreviated Tami because it's my strongest feature and viola, Tamigams was created. I gravitated to Tami due to it's unquestionably femme sound. No mincing genes or quasi gender doubts... it's completely a female name and therefor I wanted it.
I have been known as Maxi, due to my extreme hobby. It was only fitting I use it.
[SIZE="3"]:ukflag: I think I have answered this question before in another thread, but here goes:
I was told by my mother that, if I had been born a girl, I would hve been called Carole. So I took Carole as my given name (we all get given our names at birth, we don't choose them normally).
Anne I chose as my middle name because I liked it, and I thought that it went well with Carole- it helps to distinguish me from all the other Caroles!
Allen is my real surname, and so there it is- Carole Anne Allen. I think it flows well. :battingeyelashes: [/SIZE]
Mine is the name of the first girl I had a BIG crush on. And, since then, I've always loved the name "Susan" and when it came time for me to pick a name for myself, I naturally chose Susan.
The girl I had a crush on, wasn't a cheerleader. I added "Cheerleader" because I love watching cheerleaders with their dances, stunts, chants, and of course the uniforms. Put it all together, and it's magic. :)
SusanCheerleader....... :love:
I just came up with mine a couple days ago. I wanted a name that wasn't already in use by any of my friends or family so I spent hours looking at websites for parents to pick thier daughters name's and I kind of liked the name Caitlin. After using it in a chatroom it stuck.
~Caitlin
Jenny Doolittle...........Hmmmmmmmmm well 7 years ago when I began chatting, I liked the name Jenny because of a story in Fictionmania by Monica Icon, called "30 days to Jenny". I used the name "Jenny10" using my fav. number. But, I hated so many perves hitting on me thinking I was a 10 year old little girl........yucky!!!
After thinking a long time I chose the last name Doolittle, taken from Dr. Doolittle the movie and more importantly from the "Push Me Pull Me". I say that because I was at a point where I felt that internally I was being pushed and pulled in opposite directions due to my desire to be Jenny.
I am so happy now about who I am. I thank the many many friends I have gained over the years who have been my salvation. So, If I am talking to one of you, Thank U so much!!!
Jenny Doolittle
I was looking for a good name and Kaitlyn just stood out among all the other names. I discovered that it means 'pure' and I love it!
Hello!
After many years as, first Mandy, and then Helen, about 15 years ago I chose LOIS LACE - easy to type - a play on words (Lois Lane) - and named for a woman of the '50s - the golden era of feminine clothes and undies. And there you have it!
Aren't you glad you asked!!???
Lois

I may be a little long winded here but I think it’s a good story and it only took 18 years. I promise it’ll get told quicker than that though….lol.
Now that I know I am Rochelle, it seems easier. Not only have I been acknowledging and growing on my own, but also I’ve been opening up. Really for the first time allowing others in to see the real me it feels so good to share. It truly is a weight off my shoulders. I’m walking taller with my chest out further and I suspect with a little more sway…lol.
Now you ask, girl what happened 18 years ago that you should have paid attention to?
It was at that time that I was studying a lot of metaphysics. All part of my journey and I had come to know a couple of gifted psychics. Always trying to present the appearance to everyone that every thing was okay I never sought counsel from them. Then one evening I had taken a friend to see them and she asked of them when would I find the happiness I deserved?
At first I froze. How could she let on that I might need help? I was momentarily angry but after one of the psychics gave a response and the second concurred adding to the diagnosis I felt a peace. It was one of those calm, warm, serene moments when you know everything is okay, everything will be better and that what you had just learned was absolutely the truth. I knew it instantly, but did not understand it.
What was it they told me? I’ll never forget those words.
You will find true happiness when you come to know Rochelle. She will unlock the secrets, open up your heart and inspire you to heights you’ve only dreamed of.
The second advisor then concurred, saying yes Rochelle! Rochelle is it. When you come to be with Rochelle your life will never be the same. You’ll enjoy life as it was intended.
Not only did I feel the immediate confirmation, but also so did my friend Diane. She was wide eyed and said she had goose bumps and knew we needed to start looking for Rochelle.
So I searched and a series of failed relationships over the years followed.
It wasn’t until last month that I truly realized I had known Rochelle since I was at least five years old. It had been a particularly horrendous day in the career field.
All I could do was grin and bear it at the time but obviously I was quite frustrated, angry and feeling isolated. I came home ripped my necktie off and couldn’t get out of my suit quick enough. I was pacing about knowing I needed something.
It was then I walked into the closet (a literal one this time ..lol) and pulled on a pair of flowery pink hip hugging panties, a pink lacy bra and satiny black robe. At first I didn’t realize why I needed to dress so quickly but as I went and stretched out on the sofa, adjusting the belt on my robe, catching a glimpse of my cleavage, I smoothed the robe and revealed just a bit of my bra. I was smiling. I had whisked away the troubles of the day and felt better and pretty.
I sat for several hours pondering, praying, wondering and wishing. At some point there was that moment of self-realization of why I felt better. I knew I couldn’t feel good about anything or anyone until I felt good about myself. At that moment I felt good about myself.
Into my head I suddenly heard the words of those two visionaries from 1990. You will find true happiness when you come to know Rochelle. She will unlock the secrets, open up your heart and inspire you to heights you’ve only dreamed of. Yes Rochelle! Rochelle is it. When you come to be with Rochelle your life will never be the same. You’ll enjoy life as it was intended.
I then came to realize my name is Rochelle.
Picked mine (Michelle) because it seemed to be harmonious with my male name; after all, peaceful co-existence is SO nice.:D
Mine started out when chat rooms first started. A female friend of mine created an account because we were bored and just wanted to mess with people online. I really didn't have a name picked out and with nobody knowing the account, since I was the one with the password, I started exploring around under the name Cindy. We used Cindy because it was the first name to pop in my head- as in Cindy Brady. I thought Miller sounded cool and fitting behind it, so the name is actually Cynthia Miller.
Over the years, I've had exgirlfriends (dated at the time) try to give me a "better" name. There's been Brynn and Caitlyn, but I keep coming back to Cindy.
I chose my first name just because I liked it.
The last name I borrowed from an old friend of my wife who I have always thought of as naturally beautiful. :daydreaming:
It uses my masculine first initial.
It was the name of a girl next door in grade school. Strangely, she was a tom boy at the time.
It's sweet and simple, not androgenous.
At differant times I'd played with name ideas and it was recurring. I've recently struck up an email echange with a new friend, Emma. As she presented herself, I quickly realized I needed to have a name, NOW. Dina is what immediately snapped to mind, I grabbed a hold --- and I love it. Perrrrffffect!!
Brenda Lorraine
Brenda - name of a wonderful girl who was plus size (Like me!)
Lorraine - the name of the love of my life
:)
Hugs Brenda
Boy, I might be letting on too much personal information, but oh well. Honestly is the best policy... (yeah right!)
My wife is bisexual... VERY bisexual. Brooke is the name of one of her girlfriends who is completely enamoured with my wife, but ambivalent towards me. Talk about frustrating! Brooke is tall, thin, and has a great rack. I'd love to spend a day in her body. So there.
:devil:
I was having a little light therapy and was told I had a Heart Protector at a time when my emotional heart was under some pressure. As things went on it was sugested I gave "her" a name - hence Jane, I know not why I chose that except I have alwaus liked names with no dimunitive - my drab name is so. Later when I needed a net name I added xx - as in Janexx - the xx stands for Kiss, Kiss.
So if you like I am now Jans, kiss, kiss. Janexx. and loving it!
Love to you all,
[SIZE="4"]Janexx[/SIZE]
my wife gave me this name
Jacqueline is the name of an author whose work I absolutely adore. I even have a tattoo similar to the main character.
It was easy for me - I always wanted to be Sarah
Hi yall,
I picked my name from being called Captain as in Star Trek Kirk. The Kirsten came from almost my first name and just always liked the sound of it. Truthfully i wasn't sure if I could go through with this web site and just picked it because of I could remember the darn thing. lol My mind or memory aint as good as it used to be

My story is simple. Andi is the female spelling for the male name Andy. It was available on this site so I requested it and luckily got it. Now I don't need to worry about what name to go by, I'll always answer to "Andi".
picked femme form of birth name because i answer to it and it's me. all my life people looked for a girl or a boy when they saw my name so this is fitting.
also "wealthy" or "gift/grace of God" are meanings i can live with.
not "jessies" as in leather thongs used in falconry,
my father wanted to name me "Harold" after him and my mother said "no way," bless her heart!
always heard a girl when i heard my name...
jessie
Hi! My screen name is Persephone because the rules on this forum wouldn't let me be [SIZE="4"]*[/SIZE], the name I had on the two previous forums that I participated in (the CDDF and Steve's replacement of that forum). And while Persephone isn't actually a [SIZE="4"]*[/SIZE], there is an asteroid named in her honor.
But my real name is Barbara. I've never been completely sure why, especially since I later realized that there was a girl in my high school class whose name, Barbara L..., is exactly the same, but I don't think I conciously named myself after her.
It was more that Barbara in Latin means "strange woman" or "foreign woman," and I figured that was a pretty good description of me!
Easy enough, fem of my first name.
Hi! My screen name here is Persephone, Greek Goddess of Earthly fertility as well as Queen of the Underworld. For many years on other crossdressing boards I was known as [SIZE="4"]*[/SIZE] but the rules here prohibit me from using that. Persephone doesn't actually have a heavenly [SIZE="4"]*[/SIZE] named in her honor, but she does have an asteroid.
My real world name is Barbara, from the Latin for "strange woman." I kinda figured that fit! Later I came to realize that there was a girl in my high school with the same full name, Barbara L... , but I do not believe I conciously named myself after her, although I still have her high school swimsuit.
Just a take off from one of my nicknames and added grad year because the sharli is fairly common and could not use it in some instances because someone else had already signed up
I just liked the name Erika and so I took it. :D The Leigh is the femme of my middle name, Lee, so I merged the 2 as my screen name because Erika was already taken.
someone picked it out for me. Ive thought about changing it a couple times to something i wanted, but it seems to have stuck... for now. hehe
Heather is one of the most lovely names I have ever heard and I knew that it embodied all that was feminine about me.
Because it is Irish for the girl in me. Shivas, because of the spirit in me.
For me Amanda just felt right. I had never really thought of that name for myself before, but
when I heard it, I just knew that was my name. :)
Phoebe Rachael - I picked this to match the initials of my male name (this also meant I wouldn't have problems signing my name as my signature is my initials followed by surname). As to why I chose those names I do remember a TV program many many years ago where a newly born child was named Phoebe and I thought it was a nice name. Later I discovered that Phoebe was in Greek Mythology the name of one of the Titanides (female Titans) who was the original Greek goddess of the Moon. This is appropriate as I am Cancerian (not that I believe in astrology) and they are meant to be governed by the Moon. Further Phoebe is the outer satellite of Saturn that is in a retrograde orbit (i.e. orbits the other way round) which is perfect as I am certainly going against the societal norms.
As for Rachael I couldn't find a better femme name with R that went well with Phoebe. I chose the Irish spelling as I have Irish blood in me.
Please note I chose my name before the TV show Friends existed.
It was the first girl I had a crush on in elementary school.
From a photo of a girl I saw in a newspaper once, a stunning pettite brunette, perfectly formed, my ideal figure for a woman, with a beautiful face,(everything I am not, but would like to be :daydreaming:) and a beautiful name to match.
Love to you all. Ariel :love:
If I would had been born female my name would have been Elisabeth Nicole.
Shannon is the name of my childhood name for myself as a girl or my sister (one in the same maybe) :battingeyelashes:
Real name =Corey
efemme= corynn
I forgot to mention that I would have been called Michelle if I was born a girl but I never liked that that name.
[SIZE=2]Since my name is Richard, I have been called all of the various forms of that name; richie, rich, dick, even chard, rick. So, being used to looking when any and all forms of my name are heard, and the fact that there so so many female variations of that name; ricki(as in Lake), I decided that Ricki seemed to suit me...and Ms Ricki...seemed even better...Now you know everyone has to have a last name(if not a middle one also), so I took a play on ethnic culture and took my last name and put an Italian(warm romantic )twist on it as Ricki (of the) De and my last name, italianized Kova...and be hold: Ms Ricki DeKova was born.:o[/SIZE]
I took mine female name Amanda, from Lonesome Dove the TV Series....
i was talking to an other xdresser and he asked under what name i went , never given it a thought , so i did think for a minute and the name rhianon popped up in my brain that's how it started
My real name is Francis, most people call me Frank but quite often people play with my name and call me Francine so even tho I'm not really a fan of the name I go by it and dream they're talking to the real me.
I've always liked "K" names. Kate. Kelly. Kathy. Karla.... etc.
Kathleen just has a touch of the formality and dignity that I like. It's fine if those who know me would be comfortable calling me Kath, Kathy, Kate, Kay. But Kathleen is where it starts.
Ann is just a simple middle name that complements Kathleen. It makes for a nice monogram (if you don't put the last name in the middle.)
Trees is a nice nature based name. It also brings visions of transitions from season to season. Leafy summer, colorful autumn, structured winter, and flowery spring. It seemed appropriate.
Best to all,
Kathleen Ann Trees
