I like the song and Lynn just seemed to go with it well.
ive had a few differnt, just like the name Lisa i guess :)
It is the name I would have had if I had been been born female physically. I found it in my baby book years ago but the strange thing is before I even knew that and was learning to write cursive I would link two "L"s together and fill in "ori" and "eah". So it was destined
My name officially originated about 52 years ago. When I was first being dressed by my sisters they dubbed me Veronnica. Since my boys name was Ron, my oldest sister came up with veRONnica. That is what they called me when I was dressed by them, and the name stuck. When my oldest sister made my wife aware of my crossdressing, (which was a God send for me), she left Veronnica as my name since it was picked out by my sisters. She also liked it as a womans name. For some of the computer sites that I am on, I use an abbreviated version of Veronnie2. One interesting aspect of my name is that I can be called Ronnie for short which is nuetral for both genders. V.
I chose mine by writing down a few names and seeing how they looked and what I felt so I chose Krista as I liked how the K came out and I could put a little heart above the i when I so felt like it.
Very interesting subject :D
Mines is Angela Kelly :P
I picked it because, I wanted to chose a name that I didn't already know someone by AND (most importantly) something that just "felt" right...I almost became "Abigail" for a while, but then I had to go to a party and meet someone with that exact name! grrr! hehe
I spend years trying to come up with a name before finally coming up with Angela Kelly and I just fell in love with the name; it really seems to "fit" for my girl-side in as much as it sounds like a "happy" and "joyful" persons name to me :) x
mine is quite simple, its just a derivation of my given name, wont tell u what that is tho. although i always admired princess diana, i changed the spellling a little and came up w Dyane Leigh:)
Actually Lesley IS my name to a point. In that it's just a different spelling of Leslie. Add a lower case a to Robert and you get Roberta.
Seemed to make sense to me.
My signature tells all that is needed to know. I just love the name and I believe that it suites my looks & character.
From the first girl I was ever attracted to. I didn't know whether I wanted to be with her, or to be just like her.
I tried a few differant names before I settled on Raychel. Which actually fits very well. As raychel is just an extension of my self, The chel is an extension of my given name, It just works.
My full female name is Lily Wong.
It just came to me on a whim and I love it.
I wanted a name that made sense to the name given to me by my paternal parents. Leigha made snse for Lee
My Name Is Kinda a cool Story.
I wanted a sexy bombshell bimbo name. So i chose Bambie. Because a fellow crossdresser encouraged me to dress, I chose her last name which is silver. Bambie Silver.
When i started going to the bars I decided I wanted a much more catchy name. Something that people would remember and has more flow. So I changed My Name to bambie Summers. Thinking Barbie (the doll) last name was summer. So I would go out and introduce myself as Bambie Summers. Barbies hotter sister. Only to be told that barbies last name is Roberts! OH EM GEE
So in my name pickle I went home trying to think of the perfect catchy girl name. I just happened to talk to my mother that night, and i nonchalantly asked her. If I was Born a girl what where you gonna name me? She said (and I kid you not) Savannah Bambie-Lynne. Savannah after her favorite place (Georgia), Bambie after her deceased Best Fried named Fawn ( sh thought Bambie Fawn didn't sound right) and Lynne (grandmothers name).
So I from then on am Known as Savannah Bambie-Lynne Summers. But honey, you can call me Bambie
xox
I've used many names throughout the years. After admitting to myself that this was part of who I am and talking to my therapist I decided I needed a new name, a rebirth if you will. I was playing with names but nothing felt right. At the advice of my therapist he said get dressed up and look at myself in the mirror and see what name generated from within me. Shannon immediately screamed at me and I have been Shannon ever since.
From a girl at school,i loved her name,if i had had a daughter would have called her Nikki,didn't have one so i claimed it.
Nikki
One of my best friends was the one who named me Stephanie. One day as a joke I referred to myself as Stephanie which she loved. She felt it suited me perfectly, so from then on she started to refer to me as Stephanie.
Later on I added Paige as my middle name, a name I always fancied. As it turned out, Paige was a name she had always fancied as well. So now I was Stephanie Paige.
She was dear, close and the best friend a crossdresser could have, I really miss her. I still go by Stephanie Paige to honor her and the friendship we shared.
My mom once told me she was sure she was going to have a girl when pregnant with me. In many ways she did have a girl. She said she liked the name Donna and I was due in the month of June hence "Donna June". Since that was to be my female name, and I liked it anyway, that is what I chose.
I have had only two female names since the 70's, first was Loni because I loved Loni Anderson and so much wanted to look like her. Then came Desiree because I found it sexier and translated in my mind to "desire". It's been Desiree, the Hot To Trot Transvestite ever since.
i just got mine from a auction house, i was bidding on a tiffany lamp, i wanted that puppy, , sold, i then carry my lamp around and everyboby started teasing me , hey tiffany , becuse i wanted that lamp , so every time i went too the auction house , they say look out here comes tiffany, i know they were joking , but the name stuck
My name would be Alexis Paige. But I go by Lexie. I've always have liked both names.
My SO gave me my name, it was a friend of hers in school, she was a talkative outgoing person that i remind her of when dressed. She was a lesbian that was just an interesting person
and i am proud to be named after her. It is also a femme form of my given name.
I have had Michelle-coined by my first Mistress, Charlotte-by my first accepting lover...now I am just Khelli, just cutting off a syllable.
well i was playing around with using the name kathleen but i was googleing femme names and came across deidre so i seen it was an irish name meaning broken hearted it fit me on both terms hehe then i found irish last names and choose sheehan for now since mine last name is well known around here being a direction lol so i chose the name deidre c. sheehan C = Cathleen lol
I know, it's an androgynous name. But I have a wife. She knows my "secret": That I want to be a girl. Having trouble working through it.
Hey, keep the name, but not the feeling of forever being brokenhearted. By trial and error, you will find your way and your love!
My name is what my daughters would have been named, had they survived to term. God, that is such a downer! I'm really trying not to harsh anybody's mellow with my own crap, so sorry about that.
Came into this world as Baby Steps, Babes for short. Waited for the femme name to come to me, and one night Barbara just spoke to me. Added the Ella as a play on the movie Barbarella, sexiest movie of my era. ALso, Ella is spanish for she or her, so it works that way too.
Barbara
I originally chose my name in remembering a friend in high school. No, she's still alive & well, mind you. I just had a major crush on her. 10 years after using that name, I altered it from starting with a "J" to a "K". Gives it a name all of its own.
diana!! (godness of hunt and of the moon, in old roman empire...)
It has taken me a while to think about what to name my feminine alter ego. I think I have settled on Amy Lynn. It has a pretty ring to it. And I like the way it sounds. Now I just have to figure out how to change my name in the forums here.
I went through manu different names - but Valerie - seems pretty - and uncommon - at least where I am from
Veronica was, unfortunately, given to me by my pedophile uncle, who molested me from the age of 6 to 13. After 7 long years of being sexually abused, the name kinda stuck. I used various middle names in the past, as well as different surnames. My first was Veronica Lareese Flores, after two dear friends that died horrid deaths (Lareese from an alcoholic husband, and the surname Flores was from an ex-girlfriend who was killed by a drunk driver). (I've lost so much to that damnable liquid... :() When I first became sick, at 39, and my one working testis shut down (and my ovary began to become active), Veronica was 'reborn', based on the new knowledge I had about myself. Mom had said, in passing, that if I'd been born a girl, she would have named me Haylee, after Hayley (note spelling change...Mom is a terrible speller) Mills. So I took that as a middle name. When I came out, about a week after I found out about myself (and learning that Mom had lied to me for 39 years), my Mom disowned me, and wrote in a letter that if I were to continue transitioning, that I was dead to her, as God gave her a SON, not a daughter. (Southern Baptist close-mindedness) So I dropped my birth surname at that point, choosing McKenzie instead, making me Veronica Haylee McKenzie. Things are not the greatest between me and Mom, but she did, eventually, apologize to me (hey, a good computer geek is hard to find, and one that works for free damn near impossible). Life, I decided, was far too short to be bitter, even though the scar still stings. But at least she's coming around, now that I'm getting medical documentation that backs up what I've been told and always suspected. I've taken my mom's maiden name, McSwain as my surname, having discarded my birth surname when I 'died'. I also added Nevaeh as a 2nd middle name, after hearing someone say they were naming their child that name. So now, in less than 90 days, I will forever be who I was meant to be: Veronica Haylee Nevaeh McSwain. By the way, I just recently learned that Veronica means 'true self'. Who would have thought a name given in humiliation, would come to define me as a person - as a WOMAN.

I think of myself as Korie Colvin when I dress up. Korie is what my parents would have named me had I been born a girl (which I wish I had). I like the name to, and it's cool because my male name is Corey. Colvin was the maiden name of my mothers mother, who I was very close to when I was little. She, unfortunately, died when I was four. I respect her, still, more than anyone I've ever known. I feel like she played a big part in making me who I am today (minus the transgendered part, I was born like that). So, Korie Colvin it is. I love the name, and hopefully some day it won't be my girl name, it'll just be my name.
I chose my name in honor of my deceased cousin who so desperately wanted to be a girl. Jennifer is the name he went by when he was dressed. The W is for his birth name. I don't consider myself to be female at any time, just chose the name as he is the one who got me into lingerie to begin with and I miss him.
I chose my name from a very good friend, It is Susanne and it have always been a wish that someone will say susanne to me ....
I chose the name Rihannon because it's a feminisation of my real name and also a subtle reference to my Welsh relations
I am just starting on my adventure. I want to use the name Xrys (pronounced like Kris). If I was born a girl, my name would have been Krysten. However, since I wasn't the name went to one of my cousins I grew up with. I changed the spelling based on Xris form the "Mag Force 7" novels, which was my first introduction to the idea that someone that was born Male could somehow turn into a female. I am not totaly sure what my full name will be, but i was thinking about Xrystiana Renae Heiselt, and going by Xrys for short. My middle name is actualy Ray after both my grand father on my mother's side and my great grandfather on my father's side. I don't see a need to change my last name at this point, but who knows what the future holds.
hummm, don't know about all of that, seems i didn't chose my name, it chose me!
I have always loved the name Alexandra. My user name, alexs, is short for Alexandra Santora.
1st 2 letters of my non-femme name - plus I like the name. According to the Wik it may mean "flaming sword" - cool! ::rock guitar:: :fairy3::doll::fairy1:
Given to me by a boyfriend
a feminization of my own name.
And....a lifelong admiration for "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" Brady!
My Great Aunt Katherine knew I was TG before I did. I think mom told her about catching me in her clothes. Katherine always treated me more like a little girl than a boy. She was a strong determined woman that pissed dad off to no end. :). Mom knew when not to push dad. Katherine did it just to see his reaction. She was beautiful and about 50 years ahead of her time.
The kind of person I wanted to become. I think Aunt Katie would approve of me naming myself after her.
Katherine Ann Barns. [Ann was my mother's middle name]
mine is taken from a place , well a hill actually . a lovely hill in ireland called tara .its a really beautiful enchanting place. im a bit like there, a bit plain on the outside but with lots of hidden charm :-)
The simple answer is that Colleen means "young girl" in Irish (not Irish myself, though). The more complete answer is long, convoluted and boring, so I will spare you.
Recently, I've become fond of the name Connie, so I'm wondering if I want to have an alter-ego for my alter-ego and sometimes go by Connie.
Mine is very easy, Kathryn is my wonderful Wifes middle name and Cox is my mothers maiden name, bit boreing compaired to some but we are both very happy with it.
