I had never given much thought to it until I considered joining CD.com. Then I realized my femme name was predetermined. First name femme version of my male name (kept to honor my uncle who gave his life in Vietnam and my grandma who made a deal with the Virgin Mary for my mothers life, so the legend goes...) 1st gen. Mary 2nd gen Marie, 3 gen. Unknown, I'm sure I'll get an earfull if/when I have a daughter...
my fem name is Marissa Dulce Mendez...i chose Marissa cause every pretty girl i ever meet was a Marissa....but my friends call me Sabrina which is just a nick name...Dulce is latin for sweet/candy.mendez like Eva Mendes....XOXO
Well, the name I would have been given if I were to have been born a girl went to my step-sister's oldest daughter, and I just didn't feel right about using my nieces name, as she is a person who already exists and soooo not me. When I was younger I used to believe I wanted to be a Britney or a Tiffany, but I grew out of those.
Then a couple of years ago when I started browsing here and really giving serious thought to it I remembered a girl I once knew, Brad, she was about 5-7 years older than me and while she had a "boys" name and mostly hung out as one of the guys, she was very feminine in appearance, beautiful hair, nice body, very girly-girl with her clothes, but very rough and tumble, not afraid to get dirty kinda gal. Kinda like my mom actually, perfect hair, flawless makeup and all while riding a dirt bike out in the woods. So that's who I decided I wanted to be, only I thought Bradlie sounded a little prettier.
And there it is - I am now "Principessa Giovanna Del Nord".

Finally about 25 years ago when I really got serious about things I gave the name a long hard think through. I realize the most influential female in my life ad been my grandmother, so in her honor I took her name, Gertrude then I added Katherine as a middle name. I realize that Gertrude is quite the old fashioned name and although my femme credit cards read that I use the nickname Trudy. I only hope I have become a lady Grandma would have been proud of!
When I was thinking of a name to use Joanne just came to me, it just sounded right.
Never really gave it much thought until recently when i decided to embrace this side of me. Been hidden for a long time. Still havnt come out to anyone, but thats another story, to which i am going to post soon. But as far as the name, it just sounded good. I thought of a few and it came down to Stacey or Emily and since i needed a name to log on here, i decided on Stacey. But i like emily as a middle name except thats to many "y's" lol. Xoxox
Stephanie is sooo close to my masculine name that it justed seamed like a logical choice. I have always liked the name Rebecca, so I use that as my middle name. So my initials are SRS.
This was the name of a girl I admired when I was in my teens. She always wore the prettiest clothes, cute and FEMININE.
Mostly lovely skirts and tops along with stockings, very seldom slacks. Gee I would have Loved to had her wardrobe, better yet, Shared her wardrobe with her.
Hi everyone,
My first name is Bridget, I picked that because that name is very close to the name of someone near and dear to me. My last name is Sterling... I picked that because that is the name of my favorite chardonnay. If you are a wine drinker, I highly recommend it!
So.. Bridget Sterling. I like it, I think it sounds "real." Could be the name of a heroine in a novel or something :P Haven't thought of a middle name yet though..
Bridget, IMHO Marie is a lovely middle name. Welcome to the forum darlin.
I remembered a show from the early 70's ....Gillian's Island....ohhh what a beautiful lady she was...
I chose my name because i've always liked the name Katie, it feels to me like a feminine name and i like the way the letter K looks when written down. I chose the surname of Taylor because it's not an overly masculine sounding surname, it's not an unusual name either. It also fits nicely with Katie.
Katie Taylor
My female name is Molly, I've always liked the name and today adopted it as my feminine identity
my name is alexis its sounds more girly and it fits me perfectly
I picked Algoma, it means valley of flowers. Peacefull and beautiful. When I am Algoma I am at peace, I find my true inner self. It seems to fit.
Algoma
Marja what I would have been called if I had been born a girl
Would a rose by any other name not smell as sweet?
Ok now on to the story, a long time ago in a land far far away I was involved in a little group of new age type people, and my spirit guide's name was Beth. Of course I'm not so sure about all that stuff today and pefer to think of it as more phsycosematic than anything else, however the name Beth seemed to stick so when I meet other CD's and joined a local CD group, Beth became my name. The Cooper part is really a recent addition and quite simply because I'm a huge Alice Cooper fan, so I stole the name, nothing surprising their. The other reason why I kept the name Beth is because all the CD's I met seemed to base their names on their male names, and I thought why do that? If your creating a new person, then why not choose a name thats completely different rather than one thats similar to your male name, but hay whatever, needless to say thats the story to Beth Cooper.
I just saw this thread and thought I would join in:
Michael is Miki
Arata is my surname shortened and illiterated a tad.
If I ever get out en femme and someone calls me by my girl name, I don't want to have to think too much to answer to Miki, rather than Sally, Jasmine or Joan.
But, but unlike Beth above, I don't think I am creating a new person; just a feminine me.
Miki
My babtised name was Philip. When I addopted a new life style I changed it to "Phyllis" I also changed my last name to "Lavender" which i my facourite color.
Where my name Tiffany came from was something when I was young and liked. At the time I thought it was just really cute
When I decided on a female name I didn't have to think too long. I wanted a name I could easily respond to if my name was called out in a crowd. Growing up my name was Alan, so I decided on Ellen, it sounds similar and I find it easily works for me. Actually growing up if someone in a crowded room shouted out "ELLEN" I would turn my head to see.
Actually though my Mother told me she was hoping for a girl and if I had been I would have been named Paige.
So Ellen Paige is my name. and I am almost a Lady.
If I'm reborn as a girl, I want this name. Call me Sha, it allures me.
My fem name came from a couple of sources Kay was a girl in high school i always wanted to date. Sterling was a beautiful teacher I had....Since the first letter of my real name starts with K ,I always signed memos at work K.
Another Sterling....great
I have always liked the name Megan. I think that will be the one. I knew a girl named Megan in grade school and at the time she was the most beautiful girl i had ever saw, besides Princess Leia. Now, these days, I am trying to be the most beautiful girl I see in the mirror. Megan, it is. Megan Brianna
Ellen was the name of a girl from my high school that I truly admired. I never dated her but was a friend, she just dressed perfectly (this was back in the day when girls had to wear skirts or dresses to school). She never knew that I really admired her taste in clothes. When I registered here I added the Jo to make it unique. My wife has recently refered to me a Susie Homemaker when I am in cleaning and cooking mode. If she had done that sooner I might have gone a different way. If this continues I may make a change. Yesterday when I was washing the walls in the guest bedroom she called me Susie. She knows that I dress but we are in a DADT type of situation. I think I am going to just tell her that when I am in Susie mode I am going to wear a skirt. Not fully dress, just wear a skirt for comfort and see what happens. If she accepts Susie that way, I will get serious about the name again.
how do you pick your female name i want one
stefanie is a name I can remember and it sounds sexy to me
I'm Joy Green and new to all this although I've been a CD for many, many years.
I dropped 2 letters from my first name and went with my given middle name
i got emma from emma stone who is the cutest girl ive seen in a long while beside my wonderful GF, and because i was looking for a girly name that in cursive has alot of swirls and girls so emma works and then renee for the same reason its a good middle name that is curly and girly right there along with emma. havent thought of a last name yet, but no real need because i dont sign anything in femme nor do i have any accounts under that name also.

I chose Jasmin as its very close to my male name, but I prefer Jessica and use Jasmin-Lana as my middle name, Surname I chose years ago was St. Ettienne :D
my guy is stephen my fem is stephaine
My name is Franklin so I thought Franny lin would be good
walking, i saw a real estate poster with this name on it. It was close to my real name, so I adopted it
The girl name I use is Sindee, I wanted that as my user name here but it was already in use. So I chose Sinderella because who knows what could happen to this fiesty gal after midnight ;-) Sindee was my ex-wifes stage name as a stripper many years ago, I carry it in admiration of her spirit and mindset of not caring what other people think.
I know my fist name has always been Diane. Dressed for a long time just for fun by myself. Just throwing on what fit me from the woman I was with... When I finally purchased my own clothes and dressed for the first time... I looke in the mirror and just said.. hello Diane.
As for a last name I am at a loss... I want it to say something about me.... I'm a mex / white mix. Dark brown hair, hazel eyes... I'll add a profile pic next time I get dressed. I still haven't one out... I want a name that isn't harsh sounding.... Something that allows people to remember me but, not too common...... Ug... What's in a name :)
.... Oh, I found my last name :-) Maple, it wasn't lost, just hiding.
Well, I choose CorsetAngel, for my username, because I Love wearing Corset's and I like Angels. But as for an actual Female name. Well I was hoping maybe I could get you girls to help me out with that.
I was thinking either Kimberly (Because that would have been my given name, if I was born a biological girl) or Kathrine, and simply just go by Katie, because I kinda like that name. Plus, I Love What Katie Did lingerie from the UK. Thoughts? Suggestions?
I love the name kathrine. Probable because of the first girl I met with that name. A wonderful fum girl.

I remember back then i either had a major crush on her or i totally wanted to be her, or her younger sister :) I also chose the last Name Kerrie because one of the first Tgirls I ever met was named Kerrie.
I chose the name Tammi because I worked with this very beautiful girl named Tammi. It was when I was starting to venture out and go shopping in public and I love her name so I use it when I dress.
Because i loved to watch Camberwick Green as a kid and what place to hide out for a weekend! I have in fact missed the all important "e" off the end of my username it should read Pippinforte.
How does everyone chose a last name? The first name was easy because I have always loved the name Maya. I also love the name Sasha and may change to that some day.
Names are wonderful expressions of our souls. I choose Holly because i love Christmas and the wonderful memories associated with it. I chose Lee as a last name because i am a big Bruce Lee fan. Odd choices i know, but they just flow when you say them.
I love the name Emma, very womanly and dignified, I like to call myself Ashley when I feel naughty
my girlfriend decided it was time i had a name, she went through a few suggestions and this was the first one i really liked. what katie said by the libertines is one of my favourite songs which probably helped
I Lovvvvve the name Monica. <3
