When I first started realizing who I was, I was a fan of a Tejano singer named Stefani, and I loved the name and the spelling, so I took it. I'm not sure how I came up with my last name.
Hmm, well, believe it or not, one of those silly Facebook things of "your name means X" in French. It looked over my profile, and no matter how I spelled my name, it came back "Belle." My SO leaned over, looked at it, laughed uproariously and said "Oh Honey, that is so YOU." Well, that stuck. The second or 'last'? I'm actually from a romance linguistics background so Cri is a an appropriately thematic French variation on my family name which for now I want to keep as a nome de plume.
I wanted a first name that had hearts on the letter I but also one that was short and cute so to speak. So I settled on Nikki as for my last name it was the brand (Garrison) of lock on the padlocks to my girls clothes bins. My middle name was one that I thought fit those two, so I went with Ray.
I use Danika because of a girl I used to work with, she was gorgeous & it's such a sexy name. Jane because I've always thought that was a cute and McKenzie because it's my real last name & I love it! Danika Jane McKenzie:<3:
My mother kept telling me that if I was a girl that my name would have been Katherine, so Katy or Katie seemed to fit perfectly and I like it.
Kay, for me, was the name I picked to use as a pen name for writing romances. It's since become something more than that. What, I don't know yet. :)
Emma Nicole was my name had I turned out to be biologically female. I never thought twice about giving myself a different name. I'm glad my mom picked something I'd end up really liking and actually using later in life.
My wife chose my name. As well as the clothing I wear other than work clothes.
(I've been away for a couple years, so I think the last post I made about my name in gone forever in the ether somewhere)
I named myself after Summer Glau. At the time, I was in love with Firefly/Serenity (still one of my favorite movies). River Tam was always my favorite character, but "River" didn't quite work for me. At one point my friend commented that she loved the name Summer and it stuck.
I kept it simple and turned my male name into the female equivalent . My mom was going to to name me Caitlyn and my first real girl friend who liked me to dress was named Katie so I did not want to use either one of those :)
Years ago, I used the name Caroline McFarlaine, which were names I just picked out of the blue. Then I met a gorgeous woman who's real name was Caroline McFarlaine, and it suddenly seemed a bit weird. So I changed it.
I now use Holly Greene. It started as a bit of a joke really - Holly Theresa Greene (Holly trees are green). But I've always loved the name Holly, so I stuck with it.
Im a bit of a chameleon have changed my name a few times was debbie first ..avoided familial connects and preserving my anonymity ... Choose Fiona Frisson because of the playful litteration ..Fiona is irish and Frisson gives an exotique feel and in truth foes reflect that feeling when comfortably en femme ... a bit like a new haur style I might adopt another persona/name!
I am Rena Fox. Cos I am like a Fox ;)
I chose Nola because it was close to my male name and I just like the way it sounds. No it has no relationship to New Orleans, LOL.
Back in the days of those awful 1-900 chat lines, I would use "Chris" as my fake name. When things progressed into more and more dressing, Chris became Chrissy
My original name back in the day was Cindy Pink, I wanted a name that could in no way be a guys name or a name that even had a male translation to it. I looked up girly names on google and came across Cindy and decided to add the 'Pink' at the end to make it even for Girly. Eventually years later when I realized I wasn't transgender but an entire different breed, that breed being Gender fluid. I came up with "Casey Actual" or just "Casey" for short, a name that could be either for a girl or a boy. So it fit me perfectly. The full name is "Casey The Never Actual" the "never actual" part means I'm never actually a boy or girl.
So come follow me into the Never~
Mine is Jessica Brink. The Jessica just came natural, it's just such a feminine name. The Brink came from Maria Brink, the beautiful singer for In This Moment. She used to wear these really cute dresses like this one: http://www.metal-experience.com/imag...ent2008-02.jpg AND she has huge boobs ;)
I chose my name. Stephanie K De Vil (K is for Katherine) I'm a queen and stephanie is always on the top 5 women's psycho names. Lol I have friends that only know me as Stephanie. Whether I'm dressed or not lol. And De Vil simply because I live cruella. Best. Disney. Villian. Ever.
Much love, Stephanie
Just wanted to post with fem name... Dana came from wanting something that started with a D...not much more.
A man da when I picked Amanda I thought I was the only one that saw that :doh: and the James came about by trial and error trying to get a gmail account . Amanda James was free so I took it . But you can call me Mandy
I came up with a full name for my female identity.
Sera comes from one of my closest friends in high school (named Serah), and the first person i told about my crossdressing habit. She actually chose my middle female name, Melanie, which I liked as well, but I couldn't choose between the two. So i took both! I also write alot, hence the last name Wright. I go by either name now.
The username comes from an in-joke we all had in theatre class. I was rather shy when I began, so they told me to be more bold, or "shine like the star you are". I got a lot of confidence from those 4 years in theatre, and now I use that confidence here as well, hence "Shining Sera".
I would choose the most beautiful & sexy female name.....Natalie:battingeyelashes:
My name came about as a play on masculine and feminine words in French. "Le" being masculine and "femme" being feminine. It is an attempt to combine different aspects of myself. My first name; Fi-Fi comes from the fact that it is very feminine and a bit silly-like me. X
Hi, i am new here and my name is radita. Its a common name here in my country and my name is taken from my real name with a little twist :D
My female name is "Anita". The first girl I had a massive crush on in high school was named Anita.
I am waiting for my so and I to talk about this but I would prefer Aria
I eventually decided on Lilian as my English alias a while ago, after 2 different people (one fictional and the other real). Long story cut short, my colleagues and I have drawn a parallel between the fictional character and myself.
As far as Chinese names go, my (Chinese) female name has the exact same pronunciation as my Chinese birth name, but are different in writing - the latter translates to 'far-sighted' and the former 'gentle and petite'.
As a woman, I like to be called Pâmela Ortega.
Actually, I'm new at this forum. Nice to meet you all girls.
It's the name I was supposed to have if I was born with the girl bits.
Started out looking at popular names on the internet and decided on Lizzy.
My mother once said to me if I had been born a girl I would have been called Sandra so when I started crossdressing I called myself Sandra I just love the name
I chose Marianne because when I first crossdressed I tried to model myself after an attractive feminine woman I knew named Marianne
I took the name Jean because its the feminine version of my given name
I chose Cynthia because it is the name of a family friend. It was the first name to come to mind.
I've always loved the name Claire. I'm a very spiritual person and I wanted to play on words a little. I wanted my initials to mirror Crossdressing plus have a spiritual connection. So I decided on Clair Divine. I removed the "e" at the end of Claire to keep my roots. As an Aquarian, I'm also an "air" sign. I wanted to be "clear" about the energy on my chosen name. Many meanings for me.
Mine is part of my surname. And was originally intended as a pen name.
I chose Melanie, it's hard to explain but it just feels so feminine to me.
i chose "theresa" after my first friend. i was about four years old, and she was five... we would have sleep-overs because she had lots of animals and video games and at that age, it's all about the innocent things.
"renee" is the name of the very first woman with whom i had sex. we were nineteen, freshmen at college, and she was wild, you know? she was crazy, a party girl, had loads of experience and taught me so much...
strange - i don't think i'd considered the dichotomy until now: the innocent and the tainted, the angel and the devil, the sacred and the profane. wow, i chose well!
i just can't decide if i want to go by "theresa", "theresa-renee", or maybe just... "TR". maybe i don't have to decide yet.
I'm yet to settle on a name. I use 'Pony' on forums due to my love of ponytails.
Sometimes gone by 'Ashley' when in girl mode.
I prefer 'Pony' but not sure if anyone else would use it :thumbsup::thumbsdn:
I so love the name Pony. Hey if Madonna only needs one name then why not you. My girl mode name is Misty Rae Pleasure, but like to use my aka " Lady Pleasure ". It seems so naughty.
Hugs and Kisses
Lady Pleasure
Well, i've been lurking on this forum as a guest since about May/June or so.
Reading some of the threads have been amusing, heartbreaking, interesting, educational and a host of other adjectives. But this one... choosing your girl name, has been fascinating to me. Not sure why... maybe because on this thread members embrace their duality and affirm it by actually giving a name to their female half.
As I visited here over the weeks I began to wonder what name I would choose if I decided to.
Cool how WE get to CHOOSE the name for our feminine identity, don't you think?
So I am Hispanic. My ancestors come from Spain and through a little research about the history of Spain I have discovered it has undergone quite a bit of influence from several different cultures going way, way back but most recently from Islam and to some degree Judaism.
I consider myself a rather spiritual person and in choosing a name wanted to give a nod to the influences of my current incarnation on our planet. I am not Muslim or Jew or Christian for that matter but I do love the sound of the Hebrew language and of some of Arabic words.
So I settled on a name!!! :)
My feminine side will go by Sayyidah (in Arabic means 'lady') K. (for Khimar which means 'covered' or 'veiled') Neshama (a Hebrew endearment which means 'soul' or 'spirit')
My wife occasionally calls me Neshama (not because she knows about my CDing although she does buy me cotton boy shorts) but because it's an endearment.
So you can call me Sayyidah or Neshama or... aBoyNamedSue.
Or I guess Sue could be a nickname for Sayyidah.
XOXO Muah!
We had a long discussion on this. My choice was not one she cared for. I have not asked what i would have been named if iwas to been born a gg.
So, in our first meeting and outing kn the local girls night out group, the gg's had discussed and taken a liking to Kandi. Here i added the a at the end since all the names were used. So now several months later i go by kandi in fem mode, Kandia in the forum.
I chose Jaime Noel. I am always liked the way that Jaime can go either way... it is neutral, to me at least. Noel was the name that my mother was going to name her child if I had been a GF.
Hi, I'm the new girl here (haven't posted a profile pic yet) I chose Chloe because I loved the smell of the perfume by the same name and now I just feel like it fits me
My Grandmother used to call me her Nancyboy and it was out of affection, not being sarcastic or mean. I also had a Great Aunt named Nancy Ann , my Grandmother's sister, so out of affection for them both, I chose Nancy as my name. My Grandmother, my Mom my Aunt and my sister liked it and now I am Nancy.
I am Sophia, ancient Greek for Wise Woman. Very Italian, too. Brrrrrrrr.
My given male name is James nickname Jamie. While in school was merciless teased and called a sissy because I never had any good male friends my best friends thru elements and Jr high where a Karen, susy and Myrn, we allways walked home from school together then one day some bully said Jamie isn't a guy he's really a TAMMIE in boys clothes. So one day after school my friends Karen and Susan said their parents where having a Halloween party from 6pm to 8pm b4 trick or treating the neighborhood so why don't I dress up as Ballerina with them as they both took after school ballet class 1nce per week, so they had extra tights, leotards tutus etc. So just after school, went to Karen's house and Karen's mom made-up my face and put on me one of her small wigs then went to Susan's house 4 the party. Had a fun time. So my 3 friends start calling me "Tammie" aka TJ. During the party Karen,parents and Susan's said I looked so cute I should have been a girl.
So that's my first experience xding. The name stuck.
Hello everyone, I had a few names I've been considering. the ones I like were associated with a variety of memories. I wanted a clean slate to build my own life on. I do not know a Bernadette, its a fun name. For me it's a fun name, classy, flirty, sexy, warm, affectionate, everything I want to be.
Bernadette
Hey so I've never actually gone by the name Stephanie while dressed as my name can actually go for both girl and boy. But I've always loved the name fantasized about being Stephanie since high school
