I picked Drew for my fem name because I am a painter, and it is a name someone could call me when I wasn't dressed. If I wasn't dressed and someone was chatting with me in public they could call me Drew and it wouldn't raise any eyebrows. If they called me Michele it may. I am comfortable with the name.....Drew
well obviously i picked hayley hehe...
i kinda picked the name because i have always liked the name, how it sounds etc...but also because two of the most beautiful girls i know, and beautiful in differing ways, are both called hayley...and i thought if i could be anything like them, looks, femininity, kind, etc, then i would be doing ok...and the name is a start i guess...
well...im from india..and so preferred an indian name ..Neha Priya (means a beautiful woman ) ..and also this is one of my cousins name who knws me very well,,i always prefer to be her
i got mine from the first girl i was with who accepted my crossdressing. she came up with my name. shannon
It makes me think of a hot, girl next door type.
I got mine b/c my middle name is Ashley! Mom wanted it to be my first name but dad stepped in and ruined it for me!
I see that there are 52 pages of responses and I haven't begun to read them, but that's how I picked mine. "Linda", that is. The last name ..................... it's a family name but they sounded good together.Originally Posted by Kimberly Marie

Joelle was such a pretty French name. There also was a cute French woman I knew with this name.
My boy name is Tony and it was so easy to just change the last letter. Now I love it and use it as much as possible.
My wife would be cloth shopping, she would see a skirt or a pair of shoes and
ask me if i wanted it. I told her i didnt feel comfortable that she would ask me out loud. The next time we were shopping she asked me if Maria would like this skirt, i didnt know what she was talking about. Then i caught on and thats how i got my name. She said i look like a Maria when iam dressed.
I have already mentioned this before, but I chose my name from a real estate agent I had once upon a time and she was just a very wonderful and extremely understanding person. She even let us stay at her private residence while she was out of town during our waiting period. She went the extra mile and was a very lovely wonderful person. I love you Jeannie. Thanks for all you did.
Jeannie
Although my user name doesn't reflect it my name is Tiffany Lynn. Chosen from the names of 2 beautiful women I know
My name 'Delenn' is from space serial ,,Babylon 5,,. She is woman from other planet who changed her body (like butterfly) to earth woman for love and to keep peace in the universeI love her strong and lovely caracter, so I picked this name to be happy girl - woman - lady
Um mine's Domino, named after the bounty hunter Domino Harvey (the real one, there was a movie about her). She was the first women in the US to get the Bounty Hunter of the year award and was also a kick ass girl. She ODed while the movie was in production. She was said to have strong ties to the gay community (she really did) and fought any reports saying so
My mom was going to name me Susan if I'd been born a girl (she was close--but not close enough!) I knew too many Susans in grade school for that one to work for me. A GG girlfriend that used to dress me and have me serve her (in many many ways) called me Evette, but I never felt that was me. A later girl friend asked me to name several names I liked. I gave her a list of two dozen, and she picked Heather from it. I was thrilled, as I love that name and it is actually more me than my male birth name.
I jult like the name, and it had no real-life associations for me.
Crystal, the easiest way to feminize my name.
"Amanda", for two reasons. I've always thought it was pretty, and it means "deserving to be loved."
Ok I picked the name because it was the first thing that came to my mind when I looked in the mirror when fully dressed for the first time. I also like it because the name reminds of someone I had a crush on in grade school. Now i know I wish I could have been her. Anyway it appears the name I have chosen is the same as my wifes' former husbands ex wife. She is asking me to change it to Jaycee. I am not sure where she came up with the name however changing ti will cause a rash of changes to my email accounts and identities as far as others know me. I can't really complain about the request for the change since my wife has been a total supporter of my dressing and journey to figure out where all of this will lead me. She has taken me out twice in the past couple of months and even once stopped the car in a parking lot asked me to get out and took some pictures of me. We have explored a great number of things together and went shopping once for girl clothes together. She wears the same size as me so I figure she has a little interest in it there. We share each others clothes. So what advice can any of you give me? Should I change the name since I am not especially attached to it....... Thanks for your replies
Sharee (Jaycee)
I choose my name as Beth Ann, because Elizabeth Taylor and I are about the same age.
Hey, Delenn:
All my daughters love Delenn best on B5! I'm a G'Kar fan on that series, but I love Delenn, too, and by extension, you.
Me? My heroes have always been Kara-s: Kara Zor-El (Supergirl), Kara Thrace (Battlestar Galactica) and Kara Goucher--the US olympic women's distance runner. Strange how life works, isn't it?
Oh, and my old, old GF named me Heather from a list I chose for her to consider--she chose the one I wanted most, and we put Evette to sleep --Evette was my first GF's name for her Heather Maid, but she didn't know me enough to know that "Evette" was not who I was. I still love her, though and wish her all the best in the world!

Mine has changed over time. When one persona has been taken as far as I want to go, I start a new one with a new name.
Thank you Heather! G'Kar is fun, I love him too!

i semi officially chose a name for my femme self today. i have gone out before but never really with any purpose or interaction. today i went out dressed first the first time to the consignment shop i started shopping at recently. when i made my purchase they asked for a name so i said Eva. she asked do you have a last name? so i had to think about it, so i am now Evalynn James in 2 shop computers =-) i bought some earings(clip on hoops) a jacket, and at the second shop i got some foundation that actually matches my complextion. too bad i have to wait a whole month to go out again. it was such a rewarding experience.
I took mine from a friend. She's hot and sassy
Winnie has been my nickname since I was a child. I use it for my female name (with the spelling changed) as it's convenient and a name I really like... My female middle name is Helen as it's the name I was teased with when I was a child for being a little bit girly...
