Hi Lucille:
When I first started thinking of a name I was thinking I should use Lori or Laura, since my male name is Larry. It would get my attention when someone would speak to me. I didn’t like those names for me though. The only time I write anything in long hand is when I sign my name, so I wanted a name starting with L, so it would be more natural for me write. I had a friend years ago named Lisa and I thought it fit me. I am a over 50 and wanted a name that would fit my age. My male last name is very unique, so I had to come up with a last name also. A customer of mine had the last name of Turner and it sounded good to me. I have since googled my female name and there is quite a few out there. It must have sounded good to them also.
Thanks, Lisa
How I chose my fem name is my male name starts with C aswell and do you know that song from Neil Diamond Sweet Caroline so I chose it as all my friends said its suits me.
It is really quite simple for me. When I was born my mother was a very sinical person. She had named me Tracy to hurt my father. He was a truck driver and wasn’t around when I was born he was on the road. So in turn she figured she would get even by naming me Tracy because he wouldn’t like it.
Little did she know that I was transgendered and had known since I was about 6, so when it came time to choose my name I chose to keep the name in which she endowed me with. It really backfired on her because when she found out about me she nearly fainted when I told her thanks for giving me a name that fit my true self. So in choosing my name I had tried to think of a nae that fit my personality and it fit me to a T. Hehe, I won the battle of the name.
Yours truly
Tracy
I’ve always liked female names ending in an -ie sound. The sound of it is very appealing to me. I also like girl names beginning with an A. If I’d been born a girl, my folks would have named me Amber. I remember asking mom that, “what if I’d been a girl?” when I was four or five years old. I thought of myself internally as an Amber for many years but when it came time to decide for real, I picked Angela (Angie) because Amber was sometimes thought of as a stripper name. I also liked Ashley and Audrey a whole lot but I dated an Ashley (as a male) and it didn’t work out because I was too feminine and sensitive – so that one went right out the window! I don’t have a good reason for not picking Audrey, but in the end I did not. Audrey sounds a bit more sophisticated to me but I’m happy being Angie. It fits me well!
From such a young age I knew I was different from most boys my age.
It was when Peter was about 6 years old & that her sisters were to be bridesmaids that Alicia Marie was hurt that she had to go as a page boy.
It took Alicia another 32 years to let her family know that she could no longer live a lie to herself or others.
So for 32 years Alicia Marie live a fraudulent illusional lie not only to herself but everyone.
Since coming out & starting to live my life as Alicia in front of everyone, I may have lost a few friends that Peter had yet Alicia has gained many more in her own right.
Be true to yourselves for who you are.
Hugz & kisses to all my special sisster & those who accept us,
Alicia Marie Boden
Somehow I’ve always (since I hit puberty anyway) known that I had a very strong energy inside of me. But because of my very strict Catholic upbringing there was absolutely no question of me exploring that side of me. The only person I ever confided in about those feelings as a young person was named Marissa. She accepted me as a friend and even encouraged me to be who I was. We’ve sadly grown apart because of college and other things. But to this day I honor my good friend by using the name Marissa when I go out dressed up and especially when I perform.
Hi Lucille,
I chose my femme name after a dear friend who passed away a while ago, I had always felt very close to her and she had given me much help and encouragement exploring my feminine side – her name was Michelle, a name I have always loved and I would dearly love to be Michelle permanently, who knows one day.

I invented my feminine name by simply combining the initials of my name. S for steve, A for alan, M for madison and I because I have a son named SteveII, thus, SAMI.
