Your name is a powerful part of your feminine identity.
Some names feel sweet and innocent, others are classic and elegant, and some carry an exotic or mysterious vibe.
As a trans woman or crossdresser, you have the unique opportunity to choose a name that reflects who you truly are.

Honestly, when I was starting as a young crossdresser I never thought about the name. It wasn’t until I was around 30 that I chose Angela just because it was part of my male name.
Then when I started going to clubs I chose Ingrid because it was a Nordic name, with that group “ngr” that sounded harsh and repellent towards the men who hit on me: a way of saying that I wasn’t interested.
Only recently I brought both names together.
I chose Carla because i simply thought it described beauty, strength, and a free spirit. My middlle name was given by a relative as a child due to a speech impediment. It stuck and i was often called Faye as a joke but I loved it nonetheless. I feel like I can be strong, playful and strong willed and sexy, or simply put I can be ME.
My mother actually gave me this name by calling me Laila. It was a joke, but today I think she connected with me better when thinking about me this way. She used a diminutive form to irritate me – this is how I perceived it. It took me half a century to “grow up”.
I picked Melissa because it has seven letters, the same it’s my birth name. And it starts with the same letter. But I always loved the name Melissa or as long as I can remember. I’ve had it so long that I get a lot of mail to Melissa. I’m going by Melissa for probably 35 years.
