Do you have a middle name?

I mentioned this on another thread. The feminine of my given middle name would be Alanna. I haven't adopted a middle name.

What is your opinion of having a male name as a middle name?

Tiger, when I legally changed my name and gender marker, as part of my full transition, I decided to ‘demote’ my former ‘male’ first name to make it my middle name, dropping my old male middle name at the same time. I felt this might make the change easier on my sister, since she could still use that name for me, and ‘not be wrong’, but also I felt it might make my own legal transition a bit easier, since what I used to sign my name as when I was male was still 2/3 of my new legal name.

But I was also a bit of a special case, in that my former male name was a unisex given name. It was ‘Jay’ - a name more likely to be assumed male than female, but still one that is used for women as well, and I have met several women who had that same first name. My mom chose not to name me ‘Jason’, but rather to have the three letter name be my legal one, and not a diminutive of my ‘real name’. If anyone should question it as my new middle name, I just say, ‘it’s the same as naming a girl ‘Robin’ - just a different bird name’.

Hi Elizabeth. I have only chosen a feminine first name, since I don't have any intentions of becoming a female full-time..... I'm only a part-time CD'er. LOL I simply chose to add the first initial of my given middle name at birth which is A., because on this forum, Kimberly had already been taken at the time I created my profile, so I made my screen name here Kimberly A. LOL

Both my given first and middle name have female alternatives. Jamie Josephine.

Never gave it any real thought until now but continuing along the humorous nature of my monica I'd have to go with Helen Firean Highwater or Helen Beyonde Highwater
