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 mother always called me Honey so it is the only name I could ever respond to with that feeling of pride and love. Sweet is how I strive to be inside and out.Thank you for asking such an intimate and thoughtful question Lucille. Sweet Wishes
It seems we all have a fascinating story to tell. It was only natural for me as everyone has always called me by my nickname Dai, the Welsh version of David, which rhymes with Di. So people were unaware that they were using my preferred name and reminding me of my true self. I always know when someone is addressing me and the dearest sound to anyone is their own name.

I have always liked the name Danielle,as I wanted to name one of my daughters but the wife did not care to much for it. So when I complete my transitioning I would like to take on the name and be that person such as Danielle.Even though it is almost the same as my original name I would prefer to be called as Danielle.

When I was exploring my gender, I realized quickly that I needed a name because my male name did not sound feminine at all. And there is no feminine counterpart to it.
So I was online with a friend, looking for ideas. I’d decided the name could not be common, had to be easily spelled and pronounced, maybe a bit “dark” because I was very into the goth scene at the time. Which is a lot more complicated than I had expected.
I don’t know which of us said it first, but “Zelda” came out. And that was it-it sounded perfect. Now, I can’t imagine being anything else.
People assume Zelda is from the video game; it’s not. I didn’t chose it because it was F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wife’s name; the actress, Zelda Rubenstein; Robin Williams’s daughter; Marilyn Monroe’s pseudonym, etc. And recently I found out there’s a Muppet named Zelda Rose.
Zelda was supposed to be my name-I’m convinced of that. And whatever force gave it to me, I thank them for it.
hello, my birth name is robert. I have always love the name Nicole. I started dressing when I was around 10 or 11. From that time forward I have always wanted to be called Nicole. It was the name of my 2nd grade teacher which I adored with all my heart. Thanks for listening to my story. Sissy Nicole.
When I was twelve, back in 1974, Time magazine ran an article “Prisoners of Sex” about transsexuals. It told about Rachelle McAdam, a teacher who was fired for having a sex change. I had been aware that there were people who had sex change operations, but this was the first time I had a name and a face and a real life story to sympathize with and relate to. She became my hero. Though I would later change the spelling I knew then that I wanted to be named after her.
I included her before and after picture from the article. The article (minus picture) can be found at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,911027-1,00.html%5Bimg%5DrachellemcadambeforeandafterTime1974.JPG%5B/img%5D
