Your name plays a big part in shaping your feminine identity.
Some names sound sweet and innocent, some are classic and regal, while others exude an exotic and mysterious vibe.
As a crossdresser or trans woman, you have the unique opportunity of choosing your own female name.
If you’re like most of my readers, there’s a story behind your chosen feminine name.
So, in this blog post, I’d love to hear about the special meaning behind your name.
Please leave a comment below, sharing your feminine name and the story of how and why you chose it for yourself.
I’m excited to hear the story!
Love,
Lucille
When I was at school I always liked Zoe (while at Primary school where she was my best friend) and then Natasha and Amanda (in Secondary School, possibly due to having a bit of a crush on one of the girls and being very good friends with the other) but at that time I didn’t consider them as my own.
When I reached uni I still didn’t have ‘my’ name but when I reached my third year I encountered my career’s adviser who was called Joanna and for some reason that just clicked and from that point onward I was Joanna.
In hindsight this actually seems to be quite a natural choice as it is actually a feminine form of my given name. It is also quite useful as it makes things easier when using my feminine persona as the initials on my credit cards have the right letters on them.
I feel that finding your ‘true’ name is both very difficult and very easy, when you find the right one it seems obvious, but finding it can take a very long time.

Hi Lucille.
Your idea it’s wonderful. The necklace will be very nice. I love my name Rafael. It was my birth name chose by my sweetheart mother. So to my trangender name I want “RAFAELA” because it’s very nice, romantic, sex…sensual. I don’t add an image because I don’t start my transition. I hate my facial look because it’s so virile.Sorry ok? I love you Lucille. Don’t forget me.
Love,
Rafael (Rafaela)
Lucille,
This is an easy one for me. My real name is Kim and you can imagine the problems I had growing up with what is largely prceived as a girl’s name. My Mom and Dad would sometimes call me ‘Kimmie’, especially when I was little so when I started dressing and going out, it just seemed natural to stay with Kim or kimmie.
…After reading a lot of the other posts, many of the girl’s have included a last name. I’ve never had to use a last name before but if I did I think Cummings would fit nicely…it sounds feminine…Kim Cummings.
I was always hearing the song by Neil Diamond in my youth, about a woman named Desiree and the hot summer night’s affair he had in the song. Recently I was reading up on Lucille Ball and her middle name… Aw, you guessed it already! I also like the ‘meaning’ of the name “To be desired”. It has been very hard, so far, to find a person to accept me, as I truly am. But, I have not given up the quest!
Amber,
thanks for the compliment (big smile); I do not have many pictures of me fully done up as I am currently unemployed, need to watch the pocketbook funds until the the next phase starts. At 5 foot 10, and a DD chest size, many items look a bit ‘baggy’. I am losing weight so maybe once I settle into a new location, new job, I could get some alterations or newer sized clothing.
I would absolutely love to have a transpartner who understands the whole thought, feeling and physical processes we migrate in life with. Those who were born matched brain to body, sometimes do not understand the journey…..
You look great! I don’t know about the reason behind your name. Once decided on you are kind of stuck with a name. The name fits your face… but when the reason behind it’s selection no longer exists, will it still fit?
I would love to see you in something a little less baggy… that outfit looks great on you, perhaps take the middle in a little.
Hang in there, the world didn’t end yesterday like everyone said… so that gives you just a little more time to find that special somebody, and I know you can.
Was just playing around with some clothes and things around home when I looked in the mirror a pretty lady was looking back at me.I got very interested in looking deeper into what that was about .I took my middle name Alexander and modified it to Alexandra people who know me said the name fits and I feel good about it so I use the name with pride .love your site and everything you have to offer .Thanks
I Chose My name for some strange reasons. I love words and language and letters and as I grew up I always wished I had a name with more than one syllable. I chose Stacie funnily enough because back in high school I knew a girl named Stacie. And she was beautiful and had these amazing eyes and smile and voice. Was kind but sassy. I guess she was the first girl I truly noticed myself envying for being female. Because of that I’ve always associated the name now with beauty and aspirations.
I chose my middle name as Reese because my first name is Rhys. And I don’t want to loose it. I have gone by that name my whole life and have a connection to it.

I do not know for sure why, there are many things from my childhood that are a mystery to me where being feminine is concerned. All I know is that I have always felt like a Barbara Anne. I think it is a nice name as I can be Barbara Anne, Barbara or just Barb. There are even times where I could even be called Barbie.
Growing up we went to a family farm with my new sister-in-law for the summer. Every year see had her niece from Ca. come with. Her name was Candy and really like to see her not for sexual reasons but for the fact see was so cute and I really wanted to be like her. At 8 I didn’t think of that name as a stripper name but I guess these days people do. So I guess you can call me either sweet like candy or a stripper named Candy.
