Your name is a powerful part of your feminine identity.
Some names feel sweet and innocent, others are classic and elegant, and some carry an exotic or mysterious vibe.
As a trans woman or crossdresser, you have the unique opportunity to choose a name that reflects who you truly are.
Every great MTF name has a story behind it, and I’d love to hear yours!

Lucille;
Mine actually came to me in a dream. I have always felt mostly female, but never able to act upon it. Once I did, I was told by a psychic that I had a “duality about me” and I emersed myself into finding out more about myself.
Rachelle, (pronounced Rah-shell), was a name given to me by someone in my dream. My middle name is my mothers middle name.
everyone once in a while growing up I would be told I had a girls name (Kieran) I liked that it was slightly unisex but when I finally accepted my femme side I needed something more fem without going too far from my birth name so Kiera was perfect being intergender rather then transsexual I often use Kiera/n showing both my fem name & my almost unisex name most of my friends call me Kiera with some calling me Kiera/Kieran that feels great but seems a bit strange so I normally just say “Kiera is fine”.
In my teens years I was hoping to have changed over before I graduated, so around 10th grade I came up with a name. I thought about my heritage, how would my mother would of named me if I was born a female, and also like the actress Kathryn Hepburn at that time. Plus with my first name started with K. So, I thought it was no brainier to go with Kathryn for the name.
Years later, in my thirties as I had a heart to heart talk with my mother about this issue, I asked her if I had been been born a female what name would you have chosen. Kathryn was he immediate response. No hesitation on her part. She said that (no ultra sound at that time), if I was born a female, she already had this name selected out.
So, it is kind of weird that I came up with this name, which was the same name she had selected if I was born a female.
I think, that was pretty darn cool.
I was born David, named after King David from scripture. I tried to find a femme D name but found none which pleased me. I have always loved the name Stephanie for it’s “softness” and that is what I want more of in my life.
The name keri came to me,all of a sudden,a couple of years ago. At that moment when i instanted realised that keri was the one and only name for me,to describe how i felt,it was like i was under a waterfall on a tropical island! i love and adore the name keri,for a number of reasons: keri is such a feminine name,in my opinion when you here the name keri,you instantly think pretty and cute,and also i find the name keri to have a casual,but classy ring to it. Elegant simplicity also comes to mind. Last but not least, i am a fan of actress Keri Russell,and when i had my revelation concerning the name keri,She came to mind immediately. So, you could say that i was biased when i chose the name keri, but i truly love the name!
keri
I solicited some input from the very few people who recognized me for who I truly am… they were unanimous in the Erica, and I absolutely love the name Leigh… hence, Erica Leigh!
I did not choose my name. My supporting wife chose the name Jeanie, which I turned to Jeane. But, she said she was sad because we would no longer have our pet name KOKO (our initials). I looked for a “K” name and did not find an acceptable one until it dropped on me: Kendra. It is a female form of my name Kenneth. Jeane is from my middle name Eugene. My father and in-law were also Eugenes and my sister’s middle name is Jean. I still have the name I was born with, but in female form. I still am “high born, well born, beautiful”, etc. You may send me the name Kendra should I be most fortunate to win.
Hi Lucille,
Many years ago when I realised that my penchant for cross-dressing was more than just a passing phase I tried to think of what I, as a male, considered to be the sexiest female name and I eventually decided on Carole-Anne. When I started interacting with other people en femme I just used Carole for convenience.
About three years ago I attended the funeral of a distant cousin whom I’d not seen since childhood whose name was Carol. I remembered admiring her when I was about nine or ten and she was a few years older; she used to go to dance classes for ballet and tap and there were photos of her in her dancing clothes at my great aunt’s house (Carol’s Grandmother).
When I read the funeral plaque I was amazed to find that not only was her name Carole (not Carol as I’d remembered), but her second name was Anne!
I guess her name must have always been in my subconscious mind but I had never made the connection until that day.
Love
Carole.
