Your name is an important 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 crossdresser or trans woman, you have the unique privilege of choosing your own female name—a name that truly reflects who you are.
For many of you, there’s a special story behind your chosen name.
So, I’d love to know: What’s the meaning behind your feminine name?
Share your name and the story of how you chose it in the comments below.
I can’t wait to hear your story!
Love,
Lucille
I chose Kellylee as a transitional name. I was going to change my identity all together. First to Kelly Lee Smith, then later join then to Kellylee. Decided to stay married and help raise my kids. I was more of a mother to them at times than my now ex-wife.
I know this is too late for the contest but wanted to share anyway.
I was to be Mom’s 2nd and last child in 1940 as she was around 40 years old.
She told everyone I would be her baby girl (my brother was born in 1934) named Roberta.
When her little “girl” arrived as a male she dropped the “a” and I was named Robert.
I never used a femme name until the internet sites started requiring them and I decided to honor her little girl wish by naming my femme self, “Berta”.
That’s my story!
When I was a little boy I loved the TV show Bewitched. When they had thier little girl named Tabitha, oh how I wanted to be her. I picked that name when I was about 6.
i am transgender female. only came out few years ago. i picked the name danni in one tv show called life where the character was a cop who was danni reese.
i have other names i do like
I first chose the ñame Mishael as a variant of Michael. Mandelina came along as a lark. Eventually it morphed into Mandelina Mishael or online as Mandi or Misha.
Being Asian I chose Akira, as it is a neutral Japanese name it can be used as female or male. It makes it easier for me as I do not need to change it when I am either female or when I have to be male. It is also a family name so it has history for me.
I’ve had two feminine names. The first one was Betsey. There was a girl named Betsey in school who I had a mad crush on, I used her name in my fantasies, when I began crossdressing
I stopped crossdressing for quite awhile, when I was married and after getting divorced, I began crossdressing again.
This time I used the name Janine. It’s a fictitious name that I had always liked
I’ve been using it for years and still like it
I had used around 5 diff names since 1996, even ones that friends suggested but they didn’t feel right to me. I was a ‘Michelle’ for the longest of prior names and many people in the neighborhood only knew me by that name. Then I moved about 700 miles from there and felt I needed a new name. I pondered other names in my head for months. Then I searched the Internet for rare feminine names. I can across Meran. It’s spelled different than others that are pronounced the same. I also learned that in Europe and the middle east, it’s a name used by male and female.
While my name is Daniel I simply just chose Danielle and I do also like Cassidy then again sissy Susan comes to mind while I always knew I was Male I knew from an early age I believe I was born into the wrong sexuality while I’m who I am I never pursued full transformation but still like to dress up only behind closed doors think I could not ever go out in public at my age
