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
My given name is “Jeff,” but frequently, over the phone it has been heard as “Jess.” Long before I ever thought about doing things like dressing as female, I have been called effeminate. I have always been called “ma’am” over the phone, unless I artificially lower my voice, so people expect to hear a female name. People usually only hear what they expect. When I got into talking online, I found out it was easier to start a conversation as a female, so I just used what I had heard people call me so often. I expanded it into a complete persona, adding a last name (which was expanded from “J. Doe” that I’ve heard in movies when talking about an unknown woman). I even photoshoped some pictures of a girl I knew(so they wouldn’t look like any one other individual), claiming they were me. One day I found out that there were people online that liked talking to effeminate males, and that I didn’t have to pretend to be something I’m not, I could just be myself.
Hi,
I remember trying a lot of names. with the development of email and social networks, I finally decided on a name that is derived from my given name of Dean. I really like Deanna.
I chose the name Sharon simply because it’s a name that I’ve always liked…..
Michelle is accually my last name. I think it’s a beautiful name and use it either way. Full name is Deborah (Debbie) Ann Michelle – D A Michelle -aka- DAM. Thanks Lucille for what you do. Love you girlfriend.
I had a aunt that I really admired whose name was Jean. My mother told me once that if I had been born a girl (which I should have) that she would have named me after her. I wanted a name that had the same initials as my given name so it didn’ take much to come up with my female name.
When working for a company I was in charge of all the technology. We had a copier sales lady come to call on us. She was absolutely stunning. She dressed to the nines and was super sexy. I was in awe of her beauty. She was also a little flirtatious and assertive. After our first meeting she sent me an email with my last name as Nelms. Which is close to my real last name. I sent her a polite email explaining the proper spelling of my last name. She explained that she went to school with a girl named “Tiffany Nelms” and got confused. I replied with a joking email saying at least she got my first name right. She responded in an email calling me Tiffany. Later that week she called to schedule a meeting with me, and when she called she asked to speak with Tiffany. We had several more meetings and she always referred to me as Tiffany in emails, phone and in person.
I have been a Tiffany ever since.
I chose this name because it was close to my given name but also because as a student of Greek mythology I knew that Daphne was a nymph pursued by Greek gods. What more could a girl want?
My name came with the help of a very dear girl friend, that I dated while in high school. We still keep in touch and she has helped me tremendously in my quest to transformation. She gave me Senna and I added Rae, which is the feminine form of Ray. My wife is never involved, although she makes remarks like ‘Do you need a summer purse, or ‘you need a mani-pedi’. I don’t know where these comments come from, although she knows I buy makeup. Hugs
