names

[eluuzion]

I am trying to remember the formula that porn stars used. It is something like using the name of your first female pet for the first name and the name of the street where you lived as a kid as the last name.

Mine would be Peppy Coburn.

[Dami]

I found one online that said to use the Name of your first pet and use your mother maiden name as your last name.
That would have made me Brandy Milledge
Catchy but I think I'll stick with what I got.

[Kathryn Philips]

My name just came to me as soon as I realised I needed to give the woman in me a name. I'm sure the same will happen to you. But please don't be one of those girls who keeps changing her name.

[Eryn]

Well, mine has something to do with my heritage, and the fact that it was somewhat androgynous. Your path will likely be different.

[Marcia Polari]

I always like Abigail Normal!! Abby Normal for sort! Lol.

Karren
You don't exist! LOL

I am trying to remember the formula that porn stars used. It is something like using the name of your first female pet for the first name ...

I was going to do that, but I decided that I really didn't like the name "Tippy".

[Maria 60]

It's funny how i got Maria because i wasn't even trying to get a name. Every time i would be cloths shopping with my wife, she would pick up a skirt and ask me if i wanted it. So i told her i wasn't comfortable with her asking me like that. The next time we went out she picked up something and asked me if Maria would like this. At first i just looked at her and then i caught on. I don't know were she got Maria from, it would not have been my first pick, but because she choose it i kept it.

[Debb]

I "found" my name by trying to choose a name a) whose initials would match my male self, b) would feel age-appropriate, and c) contained many of the same sounds of my male name.

To help determine age-appropriateness, I used Wolfram-Alpha. You enter a name (only a first name), and most of the time, the search engine will give you some data about the name you entered, such as the years when that name was commonly used. As an example, I checked "Deb", and found that it was given to babies in the late 50's/early 60's ... and I was born in '61, so that works for me, as does "Debbie" which I also use on occasion.

I had previously used "Bethany" ... it was the name my wife and I had chosen, should we have a girl ... but it didn't really fit me, and the choice kinda bugged my wife.

[Josie M]

I kinda went with a variation of my male name....outside of that, I kinda like "Holly"

[Speck]

If you want to send me a picture of yourself in a PM, I'd be happy to suggest one that I think would suit you.

You could try a feminized version of your male name, or if your male name can't be feminized try using the name of a female you have admired throughout your life

[Kate Simmons]

I used Gene Roddenberry's method for coming up with names for Star Trek characters, just random generations thinking about names. I have a whole list of names I originally came up with. I change them from time to time according to my personal development.

[LeeBe]

Guess I never knew how lucky it would be to a a gender neutral name! I did not have to put much thought into it at all!!

[lilmissjenny]

mine is what my parents would have called me if i was born a girl.

[shybi]

thank you everyone for your help as some of you said my name will just come to me and it did. so hello i,m wendy west pleased to meet everyone. how do i change profile name ...help

xx wendy

[Stephanie47]

Another suggestion: Find a feminine variation of your name.

My male birth right is Stephen. My parents were hoping for a girl, Stephanie. It seemed natural to adopt the feminine version of Stephen.

If a cross dresser was really lucky, she'd have been named Terry.

Hi Wendy

Because Use-IDs have to be unique - "Wendy" is taken - you need to come up with something unique. Some members add a number like Wendy123, some add "CD" (WendyCD is also taken), some add a second name. You are from West Midlands so you could go with something like Wendy West (which is not taken). Once you have a unique rendition of Wendy - you can check out the Wendy's by clicking on Community at the top of the screen - and once you settle on your User-ID follow the directions listed HERE.

[chloe23]

I let my wife pick my name, i thought i at least owed her that much.

[Amy Hepker]

I always liked the Song from Pure Prarie League Amy. Choose any name that you like. I like a Name that does not sound Male.

[sometimes_miss]

Wendy West. Nice. Goes together well. good choice.

I suppose you could post your pic on Utube and start a contest for the best name. The winner will get to fly you both first class to Bali for a three night stay at the luxurious Bali Bali Resort and Casino where you can dine from the menu of internationally renouned chef Che Balibaloo at the acclaimed 7 star restaurant, try your hand at the tables, or just relax at the spa. Take a adventure trip to the jungle or parasail over the warm blue ocean. Later that day, enjoy your time shopping 'til you drop on Bali Main, the meca of clothing designers boutique's worldwide. Finally, spend a quiet evening watching the sun set from your penthouse patio with an unlimited supply of fine, chilled to perfection and locally produced award winning wines, all at the winner's expense.
or
you could always just think about a nice name you think you would like. You can always change it if you decide it's not you. Prsonally, I like the first choice. Wished I had of thought of it at the time I chose my name, but come to think of it, the internet didn't exist at the time. Oh well.

Randi has a great idea, the baby names web site is a funs site, and lots of names to give you ideas, you can also see what people where naming there kids back when, so you wind up with a name that is age appropriate, since name styles do go in and out of fashion. I also based mine on my initials, that was the wifes idea, but I liked it, and it still took a couple of months that I tried out different names before I found mine.
