I know it’s been awhile since I’ve updated my blog. 🙁 I’ve been juggling projects, but I miss you, darn it!
So I decided to do something fun to celebrate my return to Blogland …
I’ve been thinking about NAMES and how we grow into the names we are given at birth. (I can’t imagine being called anything other than “Lucille”.)
But TG women have the unique advantage of being able to choose their feminine names …
So I’d love to know how you chose YOUR name!
To make this fun, I’ve decided to turn it into a FREE GIVEAWAY!
Leave a comment below telling me your feminine name and how and why you chose this name for yourself. I’m going to put all the names into a hat and choose one winner for a sterling silver necklace personalized with her feminine name! (Just like the one you see above.)
I’ll announce the winner on Tuesday, May 24, so submit your entry by leaving me a comment now!
Love,
Lucille
P.S. Comments posted by Midnight Pacific Time on Monday, May 23 are elibible for the giveaway. The giveaway is open to worldwide entries. The necklace will be shipped by June 7, 2011. If you are located outside the U.S., you will be responsible for any customs or duty fees charge by your country.
I finally realized that I was transgendered when I was in middle school. I’d known there was something different about me far longer, but I didn’t have the word for it, I didn’t know it was a thing. Around the same time, I was reading the novel Contact (by Carl Sagan, also movie starring Jodie Foster) for the first time and it quickly became my favorite book. No other character has affected me as strongly as Ellie Arroway, so “Ellie” is the name I chose for myself when I finally decided to go through with the transition!
Marilyn Monroe has the class beauty and sexiness that I choose to identify with. I am naturally a blonde and wish to further that identification with the lovely Marilyn Monroe as far as I can. . . . Thus, I chose “Marilyn” as my feminine name. . .
Well Lucille, I took the easy way of choosing my Fem name. Lwarence simply became Lauren. Some might think Laura is the more natural adaptatin but that is my daughter’s name so I didn’t want confusion that way.
Hi Lucille,
I chose my name from a book I was reading, The title character had the name and I fell in love with it. I think it is one of the most beautiful names I have ever heard.
Lucille,
I chose this name because it is close to my given name (which I like) and it feels right.
I chose my name after a period of reflection. I just like the name “Melanie,” as it seems to me a feminine name. My chosen middle name is “Anne,” which I chose as a way of honoring my long-suffering wife; her middle name is “Ann.” Lastly, my last name is a surname version of my male 1st name. Melanie Anne Quinn just as a certain ring to it, in my humble opinion.
Just felt right!!!! Makes me feel feminine, delicate and 100% woman. As for the last name, cos women tell me they are jealous of my figure and I actually will make a great model!! ;;)
Julie 🙂
The name always just felt natural to me.
