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,

I chose the name arren renee because of a good friend of mine she new that my mother used me for a makeup model as a child and she said dear you are no more a boy looking the way you do so to me you’ll always be arren renee. And to this day it stuck.
Arren Renee
I was christened Thomas and wanted to stay true to my initials, so a settled on Tamara as a lovely feminine name. – Tamara
My female name is Sarah b/c my best friend Sarah was killed for being lesbian so I want her name kind of a way to remember her
Hi Lucille,
I don’t know exactly how this name came to me but it sounds right.
In fact, one of the translation for Yuna is “cherry blossom” and i find it very lovely
@Kailyn >> Ya you’re right,
but i can’t remember what Yuna says.
Anyway I love it.
@Amber >> I know the game and have past several hours on, but i’ve chosen before it was out
wouldn’t have anything to do with the main character from Final Fantasy X/X2 would it? ^_^ I love that game.
I thought “Sakura” translates to cherry blossom >.>
Just saying. (Studying Japanese currently)
I own a beauty and lifestyle blog and for the start-up I needed a name for the moderator. At this time my girlfriend has bought a new purse. In it was a fake credit card and the name on it was Michaela. That sounded good to me. A few days later I put an article with my coming-out on it. Within one day all my friends did call me by this name.
When I was in my 30’s I was working as a word processor, and that is the time I first started taking hormones. It was the first job I ever went to work dressed as a woman. Boy, those were the days. Since then, things have changed and changed again, but at the time I was trying to decide on my new name. I thought the easiest way to change my name to a girl’s name was to add an a to the end of my name. I heard that you can change your name just by using your new name for a couple of years, so I began signing my name as Paula everywhere, including on my drivers license. I don’t know why but that was always the scariest place to go in fem. I never did change my name legally, because I went back to working as a man. Now I just use my girl name at home or in the evenings or weekends.
– Paula
I went with the way it sounds when spelled out……..A man duh thus amanda.
This is certainly an interesting question and I do feel a bit like you Lucille. I’ve been known as Steve for so long that it is a part of me. I also present myself as male and female so my birth name seems to continue to make sense.
But… if I was to present myself as only a woman it might be Debbie. This name came about when I was creating my first role-play character and is a part of me.
I took lots of time to search through lists of names. I wanted a name that was easy to spell and was feminine. And so Debbie Smith was the result.
I’ve consider Stevie… like Stevie Nix… the song writer and performer. Some persons through out my life have used the name in loving and negative ways, but I never liked it.
So for now I’m Steve, and some know me as Debbie.
