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
I have always known I should have been born a girl and I chose the name Carol when i was about 8 years old because it rhymed with my male name, of Darrel, and there was no feminine version of my male name. I changed my name legally to Carole last year and have been living as a woman ever since, hopefully having my grs surgery in the next 2 years 🙂
Hi I choose the name Jennie for it’s simplicity and charm. It also meant that my initials remained JG. I am not a very big person and am a little shy, I think the name I choose also reflects these characteristics. I do love my name.
Love Jennie. XX
Hello Lucille,
Well, I went through quite a few until I finally found one that fit and that I really liked. The first was Mercy which was short lived and more in my 7th – 8th grade days, then Terra, which was chosen by a girlfriend and not me. I decided that since my original name was Marc I wanted to stay in the (M) letter so the next was also chosen by a girlfriend and was Misty and I humored her but never really cared for it. Then one day I was getting a hair cut by a girl named Micha and I knew that was the name, I changed the spelling of it but I love the name Mika, it is me and it is unique, you don’t see to many Mika’s. And although I knew in middle school that I wanted to be a female I went through many strugles and self discoveries so at 28 I am just now starting my transition!
The “Cory” name you see is not the name by which I am known in my community.
I use Iris as my first name. I chose it because Iris is the goddess of the rainbow and the messenger to the Olympian gods, and I have a message to deliver to my fellow humans.
Since people come in all sizes shapes, colors, and orientations and since I am not one who can be put in a box or category, I like to carry that message to those people who have difficulty understanding what it can mean to be transgendered and not be a part of the great, amorphous mass of humanity. Even though I may be perceived as different or odd by most people, we all carry that same, divine spark of humanity, and that spark is the commonality, which binds us all together.
The last name that I use is a family name of one my great great great grandmothers, but I’m just keeping that one to myself. 🙂
my name came about by my teenage son. i got sick of wigs so i decided to grow my hair out. i decided to dye my hair dark auburn , which i like and think i suit. the next time i saw my son he started to call me ginger. well the people that know about me thought that was cute and that i suited the name so since then i have been known as ginger. and at the time my son didnt know about me but since then i have told him and he has accepted it. in fact he says that i ll have the chance to live life happily know. to everyone who goes out dressed take care and be save.

Actually I am changing my name from Stephenie [which I used for lack of imagination LOL] to Sherilyn. A take on the name Cheryl and Lynn.
Cheryl means ‘darling’ and Lynn means ‘pretty’. The combination has come to mean ‘beloved’. 🙂
Mom was going to have a baby girl before me and she was going to be named Felicha. She would have been my older sister but things went wrong and she was a still born.I came along next and mom was told by the doctor that I was going to be a girl
( go figure ). Well mom picked the name Dawn. She found out when I was born that the name dawn was not going to work out so well. When I took my new name I choose the first name of the sister I should have had and the name that I should have had and it seems that it is working out really well because when I got married I also changed my last name to Lusk so there is no trace of my old name left.
Felicha
