picking a name what to consider/do?

[Eve II]

I chose Eve because I took what was part of a man and used that to release and build my femme side. If only I could release completely.

It's hard to name yourself. Your parents named you the first time... You could get someone to name you if you have a lot of trouble and really want a name.

[Beth Mays]

Beth I hear you calling but I cant come home right now....

[christinac]

I took the name of a dear friend of mine that died way too young. Christina died of cystic fibrosis at just over 20 years old. I also took for a middle name Renee one of my very first CD/TG friends.

[Secret_Dresser]

I myself was wondering the same thing. I did do a little lookin around though. Managed to come up with 2 names: Leila and Lilith both sound pretty "gothic" to me which is the style I would most like to dress. My body may be stopping that from happening though :/

[Lesley_Roberta]

Your name is the most important thing you will be wearing, so take a LOT of time choosing. Because like forum names, once you are known as someone, changing it is nearly impossible.

Try not to be too clever, think of it like picking a child's name, they will be stuck living with it.

[KerryLynn]

When I was a kid I ask my mom what She would have named me if I had been born a girl and she told me Kerry Lynn, and I've used it ever since.

[JessHaust]

I thought long and hard, then choose a name that I would answer to in Girl mode or male mode, plus I really like the name.
My last name has a meaning in one language, so my girl last name means that same thing in another.

[DeeJayGram]

it was rather easy for me to get my girl name, I tool the initials of my first and middle name and spelled them out and the shortened my last name dropping a few letters, but still sounds the same.

[MelanieP]

Don't be bothered with not having a name yet- it will come naturally and you will just 'know' when you come across it.

For myself, my parents had told me what my name would have been had I been born physically female so it always felt natural for me to use it.

[cathie pantyhose]

I picked a name (Cathie) that was somewhat close to my real name and I always like that spelling. I couldn't think of of using my real last name so I used the next fav thing of dressing and although its not realistic, I like it. Once though, I'd like to hear "Cathie" for real......it would be kinda cool while at a store and someone just walked up and figured it out

[Nicole Erin]

You could also find out what your name would have been if you were born a girl.
It does take some time to figure out what you really like. My "that's it!" moment came when I thought about Erin.

Just don't do what I did and go with some retarded name. I did that for years, it was some old granny name and I hated it.

[Deidre]

my mom told me she didnt have a name 4 me had i been a girl she told me she knew i was a boy grrrrrrrrr grrrrrrr meow lol

[Pink Satin Sissy]

Gosh, I just simply picked the worst possible name for my fem personna. I wish I had spent more time on it. I called myself exactly what I was wearing on the day I picked my fem name.....I looked like a pink satin sissy, lol!
