I’ve always loved Jane as a female name and the sound of it is close to my birth name chosen by my mother. The first Janes I knew in primary school were attractive, kind, assertive but intelligent individuals. That stuck in my mind when I was little, I wished I was a Jane then. Later in my life, I started through 2nd puberty and decided on a ‘cuter version by altering the spelling and adding ee as a term of endearment. I am still playing with my femme name and eventually, I will formalize it as Jayne. By the way, the first movie I saw with the famous Jayne Mansfield was a mindblowing experience that I never really recovered from…thankfully. R.I.P. Jayne. Please let me remember you by talking your glorious name. I love it. Thank you Lucille and best wishes / love to all my wonderful sisters. Jaine.

As so many of us do, my name chose me. From the time I was born, at least my earliest remembrance I always wished I was a girl. I always related far better to girls than boys. I remember when I was young with platinum, naturally, blonde hair friends of my mom asking if I had my hair bleached. I remember my Mom telling me so often if I was a girl she would have named me Martha. That sounds like such an old girls name. I knew I was not Martha. When I started looking and acting like the girl I knew I was meant to be I first chose the feminized form of my given name.
When I realized I had to be a girl to be happy I went and found a feminization hypnotic web site. There a girl introduced me to the fact that if I wanted to be a girl I had to change my attitude about men. I realize that there is a total difference between gender preference and identity, but there is a relationship. I knew I loved turning men on by how sexy I looked. I worked for a long time with a hypnotist to make me want men more as it would help me feel more feminine. Soon I realized I needed a man to feel totally feminine.
One day walking through the mall I saw a tee shirt at a Spencer Gift that said Jane Loves Dick and had a picture below the printing that had the girl Jane on her knees in front of a young boy as in the “Dick and Jane Readers.” I knew this had to be my name. But I am different. I am better than a girl born with the right plumbing. I choose to get the girl parts. So I had to spell my name a little different. That is why I love my new name of Jayne.
Going back to my childhood, I’ve known several girls and women named Carol, and without exception, I’ve been very fond of all of them, they’ve been some truly wonderful people, so when I chose my name, I chose Carol.
If I had been born a girl, my name would have been Lisa. Cute, but there are so many Lisa’s out there. Like many others, I tried different names before settling on Rebeca. I love the name because I can use Becky when I want to be playful or cute; and Rebeca when I am in a serious mood. I wanted to be a little different, so I dropped the second ‘c’ in the name. Last name was easy, since it my male name. Before deciding, I also wrote all of the names I liked, and Rebeca Lyn Williams just felt so natural and right when I signed it, so that is how I chose it.
i would hve to say that i went through more than my share of names before i came to find my calling. First i started off with Anastasia, then Natasha, even Anna Lee beofre really thinking on it and jsut stayed with my own name, but put my middle on with it and go by Randylynn, but most times go by randy, so you are right are givin names at birth and we do grow into them.
At first I chose victoria however, that didn’t fit. So then I choose amber because it is the harden blood of a tree and very easy to work for setting in jewelery. Waves came as a delicious twist of humor as in amber waves of grain. The humor part was about “Amber say out of the wheat field because you are going against the grain.” No kidding in my choice to go from MtF I am going against the grain of social “norm” and that pervesely tickles my funny bone.
My chosen name is Stephanie. Besides being a pretty name it means “crown”, or “crowning glory”, which really speaks to how I feel about my life now. My last name is an old family name which I wanted to honour and bring forward, since none of my relatives now carries it. My middle name is my former surname, which my children will cary only until they marry. There’s a zen-ness about connecting the past to the future, as I see it.
