In Japanese animation there are not a lot of dark-skinned strong female types. However, there was one that really stood out that I really liked watching. She was tall, curvy, confident and physically strong. So using her name just seem to fit. :)

My name is the female version of my middle name, while my given first name is more commonly used for boys, but it is also a girls name.
Wow, this is a difficult topic. I know that I will be quite serious about by TV/TS journey, so my female name must really be right before I decide. Meanwhile, I need to pick an online name for joining forums. Carolina is the Swedish version of Caroline, and is a name that is somewhat similar to my male name. Thus a temporary placeholder. I really look forward to the day when my true femme name "arrives" upon me.
I am a big fan of Marilyn Monroe and have been for many years. I just love the sound of the name Marilyn and thought "oh yeah that's going to be my femme name". But it's not. I don't ever recall hearing the name Sherilyn. It just came to me so easy like everything has since embracing this awesome femme identity. It just rolled off the edge off my mind and I loved the way it rolled off my tongue. It's a perfect fit. It has absolutely nothing to do with my given name. It's all brand new just like Sherilyn is. And I gave myself a new last name as well. Cassidy. I can't tell you where it came from either but I love my new name Sherilyn Cassidy and I love being her One day will I make it my legal name. My daughter thinks it's a perfect fit and now will only refer to me as Sherilyn. Everyone else that knows about my changing life now calls me Sherilyn and I wouldn't have it any other way!!
At first I just named myself Zelia. Just a name I came up with and I love it. Shortly after that I decided to become a princess so i was Princess Zelia and all bowed before me. After being a princess was not enough I needed more so i joined the Decepticons and sought to kill Rodimus Prime and strip the Matrix of Leader ship from him. I succeeded and became a prime. I swore allegiance to Megatron and the Decepticons to wage war on the autobots as Princess Zelia Prime. Through out my journey I still needed more power so i followed the path of the ninja and ended up becoming the 8th Hokage. So my full name is Princess Zelia Prime the 8th Hokage. But you can just call me zelia for short :D
Hi Zelia,
Pleased to see you've started posting.
"Shortly after that I decided to become a princess so i was Princess Zelia and all bowed before me."
Wow! So that's how the system works?!?? And here's me striving and breaking my neck :rolleyes:. All this time!.. OK, so if I appoint myself queen... :thinking:.
"After being a princess was not enough I needed more so i joined the Decepticons and sought to kill Rodimus Prime and strip the Matrix of Leader ship from him."
No problem. Yikes, he was ugly anyway :yucky:. What was he?... Some sort of van? He looked good as Hot Rod, though. Wait, we're talking about the real transformers here, right? I.e. the 80s' TFs? :thumbsup:. Should have taken out Ultra Magnus, too. Horrible Autobot. Terrible leader :thumbsdn:. Optimus Prime forever! :notworthy: .
Allying with Megatron is actually understandable. His ruthlessness granted him some great lines :shades:. He lost the charisma as Galvatron, though :thumbsdn:. Whoops, spoiler alert! :) .
# ♫You've got the touch,
♫you've got the power!
ps. Oh,"Lydianne""Queen Lydianne" . . that was chosen randomly :D .
Stacey (as it now is) started as Stacie. Now it's become Stacie Marie Bell. I have a thing for the name Stacie for a girl and the rest is for my wonderful mother, R.I.P.
I chose something that was close to my birth name. I know over time I will most likely adjust it some. I will always always identify to my birth name in certain ways. It just doesn't completely describe me. As my journey continues I feel I am adding more and completing myself.
Shaunda/Shauna
I needed a handle for a online 3d community, after a few attempts JennyLiz, came out and was accepted. Over the last year I have gotten to a point where I realized that not only was it a good fit for me but I also like it. I then took it a step further and lengthened it to Jennifer Lizabeth, Keeping the short form of JennyLiz. On the plus side Its also the initials for my legal name as well.
Now I can shop online, have the packages sent to my job and no one on either end knows.
My first name is the name of one of my daughter's high school friends. She has a wonderful personality and is quite smart, so the name reminds me of someone I strive to emulate. I also like the sound of the name.
Sami
I never thought of a female name at the beginning, but my wife (who not only accepts my CDing, but encourages it, that's another story), suggested I take one. We discussed quite a bit and we settled for Ophélie, which is a nice and very feminine name in French which happens to be my mother tongue. Well... Not much about it, but I love that name and it stayed...
Well, Gina, of course. Has a letter count matching my male name and other matches
Gina is often an Italian given name. And I had DNA done and yes I am 20% Italian ancestry. We lived over seas and encountered Italian culture many times. The style and uniqueness of Italy is remarkable. I even ride an Italian motorcycle. Gina Lolabridgida comes to mind, and many gifted Italian artists. Love everything Italian.
So there you go. Veloce!
i found my name after looking at myself all enfemme and rebbecca kept ringing in my mind
I used a couple names in the past; Jessica, Britney, and Christy. But not too long ago somehow baby names came up during a family discussion and my mom told me if I'd been born a girl my name would've been Amy! Oh if she only knew hehehe!
Like Amy posted in this thread I have tried other names...Susie stuck for a while, but ultimately I found myself in Stephanie and now can't imagine being anyone other than Stephanie.
I did not get to choose my name, my girlfriend selected it for me (unconfirmed but likely from a One Tree Hill valentine's day episode). I never really pictured myself as a Marguerite, but as they say if the shoe fits.
My mother though she was having a girl and she loved the name Kyle. She had a friend in school with same name. When i came out i was a boy and she never changed the on the birth certificate. I asked if she knew i was going to be a boy what would have been my name. Alexander after a teacher she had a crush on.
Aileen is a little variation of the name of a woman I'm very close to, and is a GG mentor. Our physical chemistry is very strong...when we are together, even just on line, it sometimes seems like we have just one, very womanly, body together. I had another name, the name of a cute girl that I would love to be like, but one night Eileen and I came up with "little Aileen", an expression of her own womanhood.
This was easy as I embraced the name my brothers teased me with as a child. my Wife even guessed it right away.
Well - Darla for two reasons. One: I used to want to get the Victoria's Secret catalogue when I was growing up (as much to envy and want to be the women as to train my male gaze on them). So I invented my alter ego signing up as Darla rather than my real name. Funny how that was prescient to who I like to call myself.
And then there was the lucky accident that Darla was one of my favorite Buffy characters later in life. Badass vampire chick. That felt like it cemented it right then and there.
And so I'm me!
Mine came about one night on chat when I realised everyone had a name except me. It was also the name of a girl I dated once who was pretty and I always admired how she looked. I've always thought that what I've tried to achieve when I'm feminine was to look like her.
I've not really got any reason as to why I chose Ellie apart from the fact that I love the name and think its super cute. No real story behind it I'm afraid.
I thought of my name a while back when I was thinking of writing a humorous take on a mystery novel. After I rediscovered myself I decided to use the name for my alter ego.

Attachment 277538 Finally discovered how to post pics. Just want everyone to be able to attach a face to the rambling..lol
I chose Elita after my favourite brand of day wear panties. Since this was the first CD/TG forum that I joined back in 2006, I have used the name on many more sites.
My girlfriend doesn't like it though and calls me Mari...
By the way, what happened to Your female name Part 1?
I used Sian for a while but people had trouble spelling, or pronouncing it! So I changed to Georgia, a name I loved from the TV show Ally McBeal.
Good song lyric quote Elita. It's perfect!
My first wife of 17 years once told me that if shtf she would use Linda as an alias. Many years after her passing when i finally got real with my feminine side, the question came up and it was Linda,
Funny, I dont really care for the name that much, Something, someone inside me gets a happy charge when i am called linda. Its nice.
Jane, well, it just seemed to fit and i do love the band janes addiction.
"Jane says, have you seen my wig around? I feel naked without it"
This is not just an addiction, i cant even tell you,
Peace Ladies...

I myself had a difficult time with a finding a name I felt comfortable with, so I asked a few TG friends what their thoughts were. They made a few suggestions which were interesting, some of which I definitely could not relate to. Iris was the one suggestion and so I figured I could tried it out for awhile, figuring I could always change it if needed. Well it's been 8 months now and I feel I've grown into being Iris. Kinda like naming a baby. A name will grow on you and become part of your being. At first, the funniest part is when your forget to react when people are calling aloud your name.
I toyed with a few before settling on Stacey. I won't bore you all with the details but it works nicely on a number of levels when considering my femme identity alongside my full male name.
As I settled on it and looked at myself dressed and called myself by name then there was a very satisfied feeling in my gut, I just knew it was right.
S :)
That's actually a good question and a lot of good answers. I choose Tessa..i don't know why either. Just did, but one of my female co workers daughter is named Tessa..so maybe that is why I chose the name but who knows. And like most been dressing for awhile with out a fem name. So when asked that's wut pooed in my head. Well I hope u all have a lovely day.xoxo
I chose Kendra Sue because my male name is Ken. And I am a boy named Sue
I was actually having a PM conversation with KatieV when all of a sudden she started talking to Gwyneth. I though she had mistakenly sent something to me meant for Gwyneth. Turns out she thought I should be Gwyneth. So now I am. Doesn't seem like it, but that was one of those baby steps. I love the name.
Thanks Katie!
My ex was on board and actively encouraged my dressing. At first, just panties, bra, etc. She still called me Jack but when She decided we should go full Fem and full time when at home, it just naturally became Jackie. She also often referred to me using feminine pronouns which was sometimes embarrassing.
Brianna is a feminine version of my real name, Brian.
I shortened the Brianna to Brie to make it simple. :)
My female name is jenny as I now hatre being calling by my male name John.
I'm only two months out and never considered a name. I choose Roberta for the simple fact my middle name is Robert. I'm sure I'll change it and I can't use it IRL because my wife's sperm donor has the same name.
An ex gf gave me my female name which is the female version of my name Robert. I added the female of my middle name as well so... Roberta Francesca. <3
HI I just changed my female name to Alice Clair from Michelle. Michelle is a derivative of my real name but my wife and I like Alice Clair better.
My female name is just a derivation of my real name. Easy to remember :)
I have just always loved the name Shelly, I really like how when you write Shelly it flows so wonderful from my pen.
Stephanie Nicole. I didn't want to have a name similar to anyone in my family ( I have a really large primarily female family who don't know about me) and I always did like Stephanie so when I chose it it felt like it was me.
Mine is Priya :) I think its a cute short name
My first femme name was totally different to my current one and while I used it for years in many ways it never felt completely like me. Once I finally accepted myself I knew I needed a new name because the old one had too much baggage attached. My birth name is Chris so Crystal seems like a very natural female variation to me and it just seems right. :)
I quite like the pretty girls and names on the forum. Molly was a really nice RA for the dorm my ex-girl friend lived in. I always liked the name and admired Molly the RA but I'm not completely sold it's right for me. Right now, I'm not sure what I am. CD, non-binary, gender fluid, androgynous? The journey towards discovery continues. I just know that I need to express myself in more feminine ways and finding a female name that suits me better is low on the totem pole for now. So Molly works for now. My name was supposed to be Robin if I had won the xx lottery at birth. My male name doesn't translate to a female name. I do like the names Emily, Diane, Michaela, and many others. Female names tend to be more poetic with more rhythm. Am I right?
It took a long time to come up with a name for my female side, but I figured it out.
Sabrina.
I don't know why exactly, it just came to me and felt right. Can't explain it better than that. No elaborate origin story or anything. Sorry :P
I've gone by a few different names over the years. I've used the name Alison for nearly 15 years and only recently switched to Nora. (I actually still use the name Alison in some places just for consistency sake) When I switched to Nora it symbolized being out. Alison cross dressed in secrecy while Nora was going out there..... I'm a member of a support group that isn't about gender issues, although they do have Gay chapters. I've attended some Gay meetings as Nora, which was a bold and rewarding move for me.
I originally started with Michelle, as I liked the name, but I was also intrigued by others whose full names said something when said all together, like Misty Eyez or Ima BadGirl. So I became Kaylie Daskope (kaleidoscope), which to me is something ever-changing, but always unique and beautiful.
Well,,, I guess I should put my 2 cents in here, I've been through a few different names in the past 40 some years. I had finally settled on Elizabeth, or Lilly for short. And have gone by Pinklilly for years. But one weekend at my best Gurlfriends place She came up with Lillith Palozza! Like Lala Palozza, I LIKED IT! It is me!! Wild and crazzzzy! and still Lilly! So Lillith Palozza It's been for almost a year now!!!
It is so interesting learning how we came up with our names. It's not like our birth names, which we didn't have any input into, but it allows us to express who we are now. I chose Robyn because it is a pretty common name but the spelling is somewhat unique like I am.
It's a riff on my given name.
