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!

I was told that the doctor, before my birth told my parents I was going to be a girl. Lots of baby girl dresses. Even pictures of me in them. But turns out I was a boy. I was named after my dad, James. My sister, who was born after me was named Leigh Ann. I really believe that if I had been born a girl as originally thought, my mom would have named me Leigh. So I took the female variation of James, Jamie and added the name I might have been Leigh had I been born a genetic girl. Just seems to fit so naturally, Jamie Leigh. I really like the sound of it. Plus it honors my sister too who was the first to know of my TG desires and supports me.
When I was in elementary school my friends were all girls. I always felt more at home with them and liked being with them. As I moved into middle school everything changed and I had to hang out with the other boys since in the early 60’s that was the way it was. In my secret life I changed my boy name, Eric to Erica. It was so easy to do, just add an “a”. I loved the idea of being a girl “Eric”. When I legally changed my name, there was no question in my mind that my name would be Erica, after all I reasoned, I’ve always been Erica ever since I was about 12 or 13.
Hello Lucille. As I transitioned, I first used Paula based on my mother’s favorite cousin and my male middle name (Paul), but it never quite felt right. I couldn’t find a feminine version of old first name (David) that I liked, then one night sitting at the computer, my wife walked in and rather annoyed with my dithering about the name just said “Dana, dammit” and it was like a lightubulb went off.. In English, Dana is masculine meaning “Of the Danes”, but in Gaelic its feminine meaning “Of the Goddess Danu”.. I liked the duality of its origins and its sound.
I chose Chelsea as an acronym of my name actually, its very close to the ending of my first name and the beginning of my middle name, plus I really just love the sound of it
I knew this woman ,who was one of the nicest persons I have ever met,but yet exotic. Her name was charlotte and me being french I decided to take part of her name and combining it with mine came up with Char/lott which also made it exotic sounding and that’s the rest of the story.

Hi there Lucille! My story is that I have always liked the name Jennifer. There is a gg I know that is named Jennifer as well. I was talking to her one night and we had came to the conclusion that we both shared some same mannerizims, at least when I am en femme anyway. So I took on the name Jennifer, and the rest is history. Now my friend is no longer with us, she passed away. But I still think of the special time and how I came up with my feminine name, and I do not intend to change it.
Thanks,
Jennifer
Hi Lucille,
My name is Mya. I have always been drawn to the name Mya. To me it is very femanine and quite uncommon, which I also like about it. I feel the name has always been with me and when I finally decided to bring forward my femaninity, it was there waiting.
Love Mya
