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
During my college days, at first, I started buying my clothes online. I didn’t have an address and couldn’t dare to have them sent to a school. Instead I used my aunt’s address. I couldn’t use my name (didn’t need the ridicule at the time), so I thought what would come close to my Robert, my birth name. I liked Robyn and choose this name. However, my aunt caught on and told me her house was not a flop house, and to stop sending stuff there. I moved to an apartment and now had an address for shipping. Haven’t seen my aunt since.
I chose Jennifer Louise as my two name’s for a couple of reasons,
The first reason was that I had no friend’s or relative’s who had either of the name’s and secondly I was looking at Jennifer Aniston, Louise Redknapp and Jenni Frost, who are three very beautifull celebraties and amazing ladies for a girl to model herself on.
Hi Lucille. A long time ago when I used to do the bar scene I felt a closeness to a number of female servers that wasn’t of an intimate nature. Unsure of the feeling I discounted it. Now I have a better(I think)understanding of the situation but that door is long closed. I choose the feminine name of Lora after one of the ladies I got especially close to as the the I’ll use for that reason as well as it keeps my same initials.
Lora
I finally fell into my female name after a process of personal growth. When I first began going out and the thrill of passing was everything to me, I used the name “Shelly” after a wonderful girl I had dated that was a total doll and lady to me. In this phase of exploration I feel I did all of the “teenager” type stuff from being very flirtatious and out going sexually with my new found ability. Over the period of about two years, I feel I grew from a girl to a women and really came into my peace with femininity. At this point I had created a real life for myself and I began to question the use of someone elses name as my identity to the world.
So I broke down my birth name of Joseph and extended it to Josephine. Then used Josie from that. I’m sure most of you know but there are great pages online that translate male names to female names as well as give alternate uses of each girl name. It’s amazing hOw many cute names are out there. Giggle.
I also chose to change my middle name to annett in memory of my older sister ann who passed after a car accident at age 28. Her two year old girl died with her but her two sons survived. I have have been close to them on man levels as a friend and aunt and felt obligated to guide them as they grew. So anyway, Josie Annett really has felt right ever since then because I feel I am still using my birth name and it’s really the genuine identity of me out there sharing my light and love with the world in the true spirit of woman.
I wanted to thank all of you for your wonderful stories as well. A great joy to read all of your thoughts.
Light and love,
Josie
In real life I am known as Robert but the first girl I wished I could become was named Janice. I have been a tg all of my life and she was the first to make me feel like the girl I truly am.

I picked my feminine name, it seems like light years ago when I first started to transition(1983), Charlene is of Old German origin which I have from my grandfather, my middle name I picked it has a Latin origin: Biblical name derived from the element ‘renatus’ which means reborn, in 1995 when I started to live full time as female I had my name legally changed.
Hi Lucille,
The story behind my name would be;
Sabreen – As i used to watch “Sabrina; the Teenage Witch” and to remember a best friend of mine who is actually “Sabreen”
Sahar – My best friend who helped me to get out with all my needs
Waldorf – I love “Blair Waldorf” in Gossip Girl… So decided to take her last name as mine…
Cheers !
