Hi
This thread is for letting everyone know the origins of your female name.
After looking at names and a few options. I finally decided Shelly was the right name for me.
I chose a female name for the forum, but it doesn't feel 'me' yet. Maybe give it some time, but I still feel myself when I dress - same person - so it feels a bit odd to have a different name.
I do like the name Amy - it suits both the girl next door (Amy Adams) and bad girl (Amy Winehouse) who I both love...
And the X bit: my surname is a little bit unusual so it's a disguise. And AmyX is an anagram of 'am XY' so technically I'm telling the truth ;)
I selected my name due some unexpected events. I have dressed fem for most of my life. Until my mother caught me dressed during a vacation to college the only other person who knew was my sister. My mothers first reaction was shock and how could you do this. Fortunately for me my sister came to visit mom at a very good moment. She calmed mom down and the three of us chatted about my dressing. After my sis left my mom and i talked for a long time. During that conversation
she told me that when she was PG with me she was sure I would be a female. At my birth the only names my parents were considering were girls names. She told me that if I had been a girl my name would have been Margaret Anne. After a time mom accepted my dressing - or at least she said she did. I never had a second thought about what my name would be Margaret Anne of course.
Great choice Amy, I also choose Amy it is a lovely female name, very cute but can also be a very hot girls name. I'm very new to dressing but looking forward to being her whenever i can!
Quite simply - if I had been born a girl, I would have been called Deborah.
Debi seems less formal
Heidi is a play on my legal last name. Plus I've always loved the name. Stevens is a sir name based on my legal first name, Steven. And the Chicago columnist of the same name had nothing to do with it.
It is one of the many feminine forms of my real first name. I love my name.
It's the feminine version of my name. Had I been born a girl, I would have been named Danielle.
My name below is the feminine version of my name.
It was on a road trip, one of those I used to take so I could dress for a couple of days under the pretense of camping or business. I had recently discovered a web page that discussed how to develop a feminine voice so I was spending my time talking to myself as I attempted to work out something convincing. In one experiment I started speaking with my version of a British accent (my apologies to anyone with the real thing). Somewhere between Ely and Pioche Nevada on U.S. 93, the name Sarah seemed to flow right out of "jolly old across the pond" and it stuck. Charles is my given middle name and seemed to settle in quite well as a last name. A few years later I remembered a conversation with my mother where she told me that she had picked out Marie as a name for the girl they thought was coming instead of their second boy child. So I took that as my middle name because I knew my wife would get mad at me some day and would need the extra name as she called me to task. "Sarah MARIE Charles! What did I tell you to do before I left?"
I've often thought I would have liked a name that could be the source of shorter "pet" names and leaned toward Katherine. As it is I'm stuck with nicknames like "Hey You!" and occasionally "Sir". Ahh well, as long as we're all happy.
Many years ago, the accounting dept. (large national co.) had a number of checks to send for reimbursements to some staff members. There were 4 checks issued in our department, 3 of which came made out with the correct names. But I did not get one. There was, however, a check made out to Chandlyr Ellis, which "Human Resources" said there was no such person working for the company. Hummmmm....
DING DING DING... Someone in accounting had attempted to decipher my real name signature (even though my name was clearly printed at the top of my reimbursement request). Thank you!
My signature has been a dead-on Chandlyr Ellis for over 30 years now.
Lucky me... My real name is Jesse and it goes both ways as a guy and girl... Hence when I dress as a woman and go shopping and use my credit card, the cashier doesn't give me a funny look as if my name was Joe or Michael...
But for here, I chose Katespade83 because at the moment it was a nice purse that I had...
'Judith' is what my parents had picked out for me had I been born a girl. I only discovered this after I adopted the name. It's also what my cousin named her daughter - at my father's suggestion! So I have a second-cousin who is (unknowingly) named after me!
I choose the name Charlotte because i have always loved the name. I posted a thread earlier about my name and i apologise to Shelly. Im still new to the forum and how it works.
Randi is the female version of Randy so it was easy.
Only issue I have is sometimes I forget what I am doing and type the wrong name.
Randi
My female name is the same as my male name. I was told by my parents they wanted a girl,so I was named Robin. Little do they know.............................
Hi I'm not sure why but the name Rosie always appealed to me!
For a major part of my life I didn't have a feminine name. With the increase use of the Internet in the early 1990's I needed a screen name and I chose my mother in laws name as she was in a nursing home and wasn't using it.
I wasn't particularly fond of the name but used it almost exclusively as my screen name and ID. Over time I used it so much that the name seemed to attach itself to me and before I knew it my feminine name was Vivian whether I liked it or not.
For me there was no one particular reason but it did take a lot of time to settle on it! It just sounds nice and feminine and I've known a few girls with this name throughout my life so it has now stuck.
I love it

Hi, I'm new on here. It took my a while to land on my name. I wanted something soft and innocent, which is how I chose Katrina.
When my mom was pregnant her friend was also pregnant and they made a deal that if one of them had a boy then they would be called Jacob and if they had a girl then they would name her Annabelle so I decided to take the name that my mom would have given me if I was born a girl.
For years before I fully understood " ourselves " I would use Randi just drop the Y and a I when writing or talking to my other part. Then just a few weeks ago, I wanted my own name and always liked a double name so out of the blue when I was talking to Randy I said, Jonni Lin it is. JO nne not Johny and not Joanie, have a last name too, Zweigeist. Weird right, I find it easier to know myself that way by talking to myself and the other part of me answers, kind of neat because I feel I free up some mind space.
Peace and Love,
Jonni Lin
When I was a teen, even before I got into crossdressing, I used to be really into the teen drama 'The OC', and I admired the beauty and style of the two female leads, Marissa (played by Mischa Barton) and Summer, so I just combined the two names! :)
I'm really new to this (as in still bearded until I can get my razor back) and had been considering two different names, they just happened to fit together.
Allie is a slightly feminized version of my already neutral name... But if I'm changing all this about myself, why not my name too right?
Kat... as I'm working on getting f the pieces together to do this, my two main friends in the know (a gg and a long time cd) keep referring to me as a kitten.
I'm thinking as I debate between the two of adopting Allie as my official, and Kat as a nick.
When I began dressing in college for parties, I wanted to wear the sexiest attire I could get. That was the nicest and shiniest sheer to waist pantyhose I could find to be worn with a really short dress and sexy shoes. I wanted my legs to get noticed.
Girls told me I had great legs and wanted to know what pantyhose I was wearing. They told me I always wore such sexy pantyhose. My name sort of became Sexy Pantyhose. Then it became Panty Hose. From there it morphed into Patty Phose. Then eventually Patty. It was others who gave me the name but I kind of like it.
I chose LeeAnne because the name fits and I have always loved this name. I just feel like a LeeAnne. I have yet to go out in public as LeeAnne, but the day will come and soon hopefully.
Hi Everyone! I am new to this site and very appreciative I was allowed to join. I don't have my female name and was looking for suggestions. My name is Michael so my first thought is Michelle. Thanks again.
I suppose my username doesn't show my female name, but I chose the name Kate originally because I thought I looked like a Kate. Recently I had a conversation with my mom though and to my surprise, she told me that she was contemplating the name Katie as a name for me if I were to have been born a female! Guess I picked the right one!
Hello the name I choose is Miranda I an recently discovered by my SO and never choose a name until she asked me if I had one
I changed my name to Kate back in 97 after watching Kate Winslet play Rose on the titanic.
I chose Lesley because it seemed right and I remember as a young, very basic (wearing mums skirts and dresses in secret) crosddresser that this would be my name if I were a girl.
I spent a day searching the web for female names. I remember I had a million rules about what it would not be and no clue what I was looking for. Finally, I stumbled over the name I chose. It seemed right immediately. So, here's Camilla. I've never known anyone by that name so I had no negative connotations. Thanks!
I'm not sure where Jessica came from but started using online and was part of me when I started dressing my last name comes from short version of my first name and middle name.
I originally chose Tisiphone with a short version of Tis, until I resolved some of my underlying anger and realized that I was not actually an avenging fury. After some thought I chose Cathy because it would have been my name had I been DFAB, and I like the name.
Hi everyone, I chose to go with Jessica because it sounds so sweet and also because it's in close resemblance to my male name. When I shorten Jessica I like to go with Jessi :)
I go by Sonny both as a man and Lady. My Mamma nick named me Sonny when I was a baby cause I was playing with the sun beams in my crib. Awe isn't that cute. :o Been Sonny for 49 years and it's a non gender specific name.
Greta Garbo is probably my favorite film actress of all time, so I took my first name from her. I chose "Goldfarb" for the alliteration and because it accurately reflects my Jewish heritage (which I cannot hide without or without makeup -- gotta rock this nose of mine while in both genders!).
Here is what I posted back in Oct, when I decided to take a step forward:
Gretchen was a girl in sixth grade. She was a tomboy beauty that became my best neighborhood friend. A whiz at climbing trees and fences, with hair like dark spun gold with sun-bleached streaks, and amazingly white and straight teeth and perfect lips, she had a lively, teasing way about her. I was smitten. One day I saw her in a dreamy dress, hose and heels about to leave for a wedding, and I was just paralyzed by the sight. My heart was on the verge of leaping from my chest. I couldn't get the image out of my head. As I analyzed my thoughts over the weeks to come I realized I had a real problem. I was no normal 11 year old boy crushing on his first puppy love. I didn't just want to be with her, I actually wanted to BE her...and especially be able to wear what she was wearing. It was seared into my psyche, a truly formative moment. I have loved the name ever since, and if or when I become a woman, that’s who I will be.
My search for a name started about 4-5 weeks ago. Until then picking a name was never that important to me. I didn't realize how wrong I was. Until then I was just a guy that put on women's clothing. Then a conversation with another CD made me realize that I desired and needed to become a woman not just dress as one. Then the search for a name started. I searched many sites for feminine names and came up with a list of 15 or so names. Each day I'd look at each name and close my eyes while thinking of that name. One by one I'd delete the names. That took about 3 weeks until I was down to two or three. None of the other names made me feel quite as feminine as my true name Tammy does. To this day I still get a rush when I close my eyes and say Tammy. I'm sorry it took me so long to find you Tammy but now we'll be together forever!
My name is Wendy. It has a nice bubbly feel to it.
Samantha comes from Bewitched, the 60's TV show. She was beautiful and I loved her character.
I've always had "Linda" in the back of my mind for many years. One thing that was important to me was having an age-appropriate name. I'm in my mid-50s so some of the newer names that are currently in vogue wouldn't fit me as they wouldn't have been used when I was born. I recently added the "Anne" as I'm from the south and many women use two names and I thought "Linda Anne" was both age-appropriate and was reflective of my southern roots. Plus I just like the sound of it. It sounds right for the woman that I know I am.
My name was chosen by my transsexuals friend. You know what it's fitting. Thanks to her she show a young confused boy, how sexy he is as a young female. :)
Alison was a friend I had in high school. I always loved the name and thought it was very feminine. She was also very feminine, how she moved, spoke and dressed. The name has stuck with me since thend.
My wife picked my name. She said had we had girls instead of boys, Kassy and Rene would have been the names she'd have chosen. So, I'm Kassy 😆
My girlfriend named me Tonya, after Tony Stark. She got inspiration from an Iron man poster. I liked it, had a dear childhood friend by that name and I just stuck with it.
I wish I had a cool story but the name Candi just popped into my head when I was deciding on what my female name should be. I wanted a sexy name and Candi was perfect!
My names beginning feels quite dumb but a few years back my wife said, "Im gonna call you Mandy", Puzzled by that particular choice, I said' "why" she said, "Well you are a MAN but look what you're wearing to bed". So Mandy was born :heehee:
I always had a thing for Angie Dickinson. And after the stones song Angie I had to have that name.:hugs:
Angie
I would have been named Heather had I been born female... But what really sold it was the redhead that lived down the street as a kid. What a fox! I wanted to be her lol
