When I became serious about not only dressing but transforming myself (temporarily of course) I realized a name was something I might need. Anyways all dressed up in the mirror practicing my fem voice I was rehearsing for conversations my alter ego might have and I tried out a dozen pornstar quality names then Ashley came to mind and the sound of that name seemed to match the face in the mirror
I came up with Hallie from a girl that was a friend in a town that I worked in Very pretty too
A nick name of my favorite sister. to honor her as she passed away 8 years ago
Too morbid I know
Also my nieces used to call me Bobby
I chose Kate, because I know a really strong-willed woman named Kate whom I admire a lot. Plus, I can make it Katie or Kat if I want to!

I chose my name because I have always liked the name Daisy and I thought Dell fit nicely as a sort of "last name"
In the process of picking one. Some options I like are:
Robin/Robyn
Krista
Caroline
Kenzi
Ashley
Gabrielle
Lexi
Heidi
So hard to choose!
I picked Hannah as that's what my parents were going to call me If i was a girl (& now I am...sort of!)
Mine is Jessica Stace because my name is Jeffrey Scott so I wanted to keep the same initials and I always liked the name Jessica. The weird thing is when I decided to us the name it turned out to have the same amount of letters in both names.
My mother named me Karen Adell, and raised me with the name for the first four years of my life. It is my earliest self aware identity, so it was natural to renew acquaintance with my wonderful name. It is like finding my oldest friend.
I chose the name Sejd because I felt that being a TG was something completely impossible to understand. In ancient times when the Vikings lived in what is now Denmark, the Shamans were called Sejdare, and the healing and magic they practiced was callded Sejd. It is also known that some of these Shamans were men living as women. It's a bit strange this name, and hardly anyone knows how to pronouce my name when they hear it, so I should maybe have chosen another more common name. However, I am content with my choice because it connects me to a historical reality and feels rooted. I live in that magic place between the genders and it is OK.
I bought a blonde wig and my wife started calling me Griselda for some reason I still dont know. I dont think she does either. Just before my bithday last week she said Eloise was a nice name. So it stuck.....
I met a hot waitress at a Cony Island restaurant whose name was Annaliese. She was charming & sexy. So feminine and lezzie. She liked me. Was intrigued. Then she was gone. I hardly breakfast there anymore but...will forever remember our brief encounter.
She was so pretty and centered. So good yet trashy. Her name was unusual though charming. Lovely and lilting. It stuck with me. Moved me to change my name from Elise to Annaliese. A sort of consistency in that. Wouldn't you agree? Both classic and hip. Retro and modern i.e. she was 'The Sh*t'.
So it is. So it shall forever be. Pleased to meet you! Hello girls, allow me to introduce myself (hugs & kisses). My name is Annaliese. I'm a M2F Transgendered Lezzie. Proud of it too. I don't worry about who accepts me. Who doesn't. I am what I am. Don't need to justify. No worry or fuss. Life is for the living.
And I am ALIVE!
Hi gals, I'm just coming out and chose my first name as Cassie May. I'm a cute little blonde hair blue eyed southern girl. I will be posting lots of pics soon once I get it down. But let me know what y'all think about my name, and if you have any ideas of a last name. Thanks, Cassie May
The name is cute, Cassie! (Can I call you Cassie? ) There's all kinds of ways you can go with a last name. For instance, I took mine from my maternal grandmother's maiden name, for realism and to symbolize my connection to my female ancestry. You might use your own maternal grandmother's maiden name, or the maiden name of another female ancestor. If you have a female figure you admire, either in life or in fiction, you could use their last name, too.

I'm not sure why, but I picked Christina a few years back. I had been referring to myself as Stephanie before but changed to Christina. You can call me Tina, Chrissie or Christina. I dont mind.
"Finding a name" was a struggle. I really never gave it a thought until I was asked. There was an awkward moment then something stupid came out, I didn't like it but I kept using it despite not liking it. This time last year I had a moment of clarity and came up with Joan Foster. A simple and appropriate.
Joan being the female version of Joan, the name I use when I don't want anybody to know my real name.
Foster being a variant of some of the ways people have screwed up my name.
The name I use is the my real name which is used for a boy or a girl. i just shorten it for my male name.
Not really sure where Kirsty came from... it seems to be a difficult one here in American lol people want to say Kristy
I can only point to a character from Shortland Street (a New Zealand soap) from when I was back home.. but I didn't really
her or anything so I don't know why I chose it...... I had to pick a name when I signed up for second life and it just popped into my head.
At times I have thought about a name for my female side proper.... but it just keeps coming back to Kirsty... so now I just
let it be... I kinda like the fact that it just happened rather than choosing a name, it's almost like she has always been here
and I was just waiting to discover her
Hi im new here, my female name is Charlotte not too sure why its just a name that has stuck since i have been dressing up
As a child I had a crush on a cartoon character: Little Audrey, lol. Seriously. I collected as many of her comic books as I could find when I was young. And of course loved seeing her animated cartoons on TV. So when the time came for a name, I chose that in honor of her plus I really like the name. Miller was given to me by a GG friend when I first joined my support group. I felt it went well together.
