    Names I've considered: Gina (a type of off-brand cosmetics I used to use), Kay, Kathy, Tonya, Stephanie, and Carla (these are the ones I can recall). Then, I watched the first episode of "Star Trek: Voyager", and I have Capt. Kathryn Janeway to thank for my femme name. And a model on a pantyhose site to thank for the short version in my siggie.

    I just realized this morning that I never signed my name at the end of my posts last night. I've only really considered Candy. I've thought of that name since I was young, but only very recently begun to dress en femme. So, Candy it is.

    Same Name - Different Language

    On a slightly different tack.......

    Some while ago, just for a bit of a laugh I tried using a french version of my name.

    It was Suzanne Champs de Mer

    Not an accurate translation. Champs is ok for Field, but Mer means Sea. But I liked the sound of it.

    As I said, it was only for a bit of a laugh, and when I realized I was getting hit on in chatrooms because guys thought I was French, I dropped it and reverted to my present name.

    Luv

    Susan

    I was thinking of Maria, Frida(to honor the mexican painter Frida Khalo), Diana because that was the name of a girl I once had something going on with her and the name sounded I don't know musical and femenine.

    There is a story that goes with my selection. I've always loved all the fem names that ended in "a"! I'd thought a lot about Melissa, Jessica, Regina, Tina, Linda and Tricia but ultimately decided on the name that made the most perfect sense......the name I loved the most, the name of my one true love, my true soulmate, Lisa! You see, she is not my wife whose name is Cindy! She is my wife's SISTER whom I fell totally and hopelessly in love with from the very first moment I saw and met her and, try as hard as I might, I never could shake her from my heart. Unfortunately, she was already engaged to her husband to be at the time whom she married and is still married to some 30+ years later, just as uncertainly and troubled as my own marriage to her sister, Cindy, is! You don't always get to marry your soulmate or get the happy ending. Since I couldn't have her I borrowed her name instead. Neither one of them know of my fem name or my true feelings and it's for the best that they don't! I was led to the right family but the wrong sister just a little bit too late! I was thaaaaaaaat close!

    Love & hugs,
    Lisa

    (BTW....my daughter's name is Christina.....another name ending in "a"!)

    Names

    I called myself Rachel for several years after Rachel Green on "Friends".

    My ex called me Violet. Don't know where she got that name. I met a girl named Violet later and she was verrrry cute. But Violet just didn't seem to fit.

    I chose Rita when I joined the forum after a girl I worked with for a few years. I really enjoyed being in her presence. She was so much fun to talk to. Now I am in a different location and miss her every day. Calling myself Rita reminds me of her and our conversations.

    I have always liked Mary Lynn and may change someday.

    other names...

    I really ony used one other name, and that was just picked out of thin air... well I needed a name to order catalogs under and for some reason linda came to mind and We had a neibor with the last name hamel so Linda Hamel was My 'first' name and as I started going on line I thought I would like something better and more unique, and I had seen the name Rayne and loved it so I tryed Rayne Storm, but, did not care for it. With My love of crows and ravens (My wife and I have a crow We rescued NOT A PET She just lives with us and the dogs and cat and YES they all get along, first rule in our house!!!) I thought Raven would be good and I love winter and rain so I came up with Raven Wynter Rayne and loved it and I think I will keep it,so far no input from My wife about it!!

    just one

    Within a few days of discovering that my feminine side was a significant thing, my wife suggested that she needed a name. I sent her a list of names I thought might fit and she immediately came back with

    Tina

    so Tina it was and Tina it will always be

    I've always loved the name Cami (though not Camille so much). Tammi's more a variation of my given (male) name.

    I considered Donna, Lana, Jessica, Michelle, Donna-Michelle, and Doreen before settling on Dawna, which I thought sounded "unique." I haven't been too happy with my choice of name lately, and I think I might adopt Doreen again soon...

    Years ago I was Alison Elaine but dropped the femme name after a couple of years. Others I more recently considered were Karen, Kate & Susan. I now use Jennifer Caitlin (meaning Karen/Kate/Katherine/Kay etc). I wanted a name that could be abbreviated which is why I eventually chose Jennifer. Caitlin lets me derive various other names to suit the occassion.

    I'm still not completely sure of my femme name, and often think about changing it to Karen. It's tempting to pick names that use my real initials, in which case I might go for Karen Melissa/Michaela/Michelle.

    Jenny.

    I never really considered any other names. Sara is simply what came out of my mouth when I attended my first support group meeting back in the mid-90's. As for my middle name, I only recently adopted it and though it might seem that way, it's not intended to be a take-off on Sarah Jessica Parker. It just seems to flow.

    And there's not a lot of talk about adopted last names here. I originally picked "Palmer" which was after Laura Palmer of Twin Peaks. However, I decided I'd not have the last name of the girl whose death became the basis for the entire first season so I switched that up to "Hayward" after Donna Hayward, the Twin Peaks character played by Lara Flynn Boyle.

    Well -- lets see -- um, can't remember all that I thought of, but finally ended up with Debbie. Then I got outed and my name changed.

    I asked my mom what see would have named me if I was a GG -- and told me, so with her blessing, that became my name -- Gabrielle (Gabby for short, and that works 'cause I can't stop talking ;-) )
    Gabrielle -- named by my mother after my Great Grandmother
