Your name is an important 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 crossdresser or trans woman, you have the unique privilege of choosing your own female name—a name that truly reflects who you are.
For many of you, there’s a special story behind your chosen name.
So, I’d love to know: What’s the meaning behind your feminine name?
Share your name and the story of how you chose it in the comments below.
I can’t wait to hear your story!
Love,
Lucille
For over 6 years almost everybody has been calling me Nikki, and since my male name is Nick,I decided one day “why not?”
I got a nice head start in my transition just using the tips you mention in my e-mail.With hormones,a doctor is surprised if his/her patient doesnt require a period for adjusting the body.With your tips,I am not only adjusted,but I have gone from a flat chest to a B cup in less than 1/2 year!
Hi Lucille,
My name sort of struck me out of the blue for some reason but liked it straight away, as I think it’s very girly. But I also remember something about mother earth being called Sofia by the Greeks or someone, and I thought that was pretty cool, so I stuck with it.
Dear Lucille,
So many cute and pretty girls here. I am a little late for the contest, but I’m fashionably late like many women are at times.
I used a few different names during my womanhood. Most of us use a similar name or same initials to our male names and I have also.
I was feminized by a babysitter when I was a child and made into a little girl when at her house. I didn’t object because it felt so natural and right and I liked the attention she gave me. My male first name starts with a J and she named me Joanie because it was close. The seeds of femininity were planted then.
I went through my younger and high school years secretly dressing in my mother’s clothes when she was at work. I tried to deny my feminine side and be a normal male but still had the desires to be a feminine girl.
I started living as a girl when I was 19 when I moved out and got my own apartment (but still had to work as a male, darn it!). I still used Joanie for awhile but then I met a 35 year old man that I surrendered my female (anal) virginity to and we became involved in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship for several years which I was the girlfriend and his girlfriend of course. He treated me just like I was a girl and I acted totally like a girl when I was around him. I was very passable when I was younger and he used to take me out quite often. But he liked the name Jan and that was what he started calling me. He said that if I was going to be his girlfriend that I was to use a name he liked.
Several years later after the relationship was over I started using other variations and went by Janice for a while and then Janet for a few years.
Even well before “To Wong Foo” I admired Julie Newmar. I started noticing more very attractive and sexy women with the name of Julie. I liked the name and it started with a J. So quite a few years ago I changed my name to Julie.
My middle name is Lee so I took Lisa as my female middle name and became Julie Lisa. My ex-husband from my fantasy marriage liked the name and calling me Julie. But I did assume his last name after our wedding and became his wife. We had a marriage and wedding certificate made up to hang on the wall next to our wedding pictures with my female name on it as the woman and wife. I had always fantasized about being a bride, wearing a wedding band, taken on a honeymoon and becoming a housewife and that did happen. Although it was physically impossible, we tried very hard to get me pregnant. Everyone told me I made a beautiful bride. Everyday during the marriage I got up and did my makeup dressed and prepared myself as a woman. I wore dresses, panties, bras, garter belts, stockings and high heels on a daily basis. I wore a one piece woman’s swimsuit out by our pool in the backyard. I lived totally and 100% as a woman 24/7 and full time. I was just like any other housewife. I was made love to like a woman by my husband almost nightly. I wore then and still do now, prosthetic lifelike and realistic female body parts, breasts and a vulva, to make me appear as a nude woman. I use a very strong medial grade adhesive to attach them to my body and they are like natural parts of my body and make me feel very feminine and womanly.
I have a fake picture ID with the pic with me as a redheaded woman, my sex listed as female and my name as Julie Lisa (and also my last name too). I also have some other documents like a fake birth certificate with me being listed as being born a female and named Julie.
I am a natural brunette but my years and time as a woman I have been a blond or a redhead, mostly a redhead. I had the ‘Peggy Bundy’ look for many years. In fact I still use that look and appearance.
I have started SRS twice. I started with the HRT and had my surgery dates for my boob job and vaginalplasty but stopped both times. The first time was when I was younger and just wanted to become a woman but I saw some badly botched operations and that changed my mind. The second time was when I was married. My husband and I fell in love with each other and we decided to make me a real and complete woman with my own breasts and vagina so we could get legally married and me become his legal wife. I was prepared to be his wife and a woman the rest of my life but that didn’t work out.
I do think of myself as a woman now. My favorite song is, “I Enjoy Being a Girl”.
This started out about feminine names and how we chose them but like many women I got to rambling on. Sorry…
Sincerely,
Julie
my 1st name was Tiffany given to me by the 1st man who had me but the last man decided I should be Mandy and I “married” him as a woman and love being Mandy for my husband.
I was given this name by the 1st man who desired me and I still use this name to this day but only change the last name which is currently Cosella. He likes to call me Liz while we (do it) but I am known as Mandy
i was very simple in choosing my name.. i wanted to be able to recognize that someone was talking to me. so i just extended my real name from joe.. to joanne.. .i like the name and i think it fits me.. and .. when i hear “jo”.. i know they are talking to me 🙂
When I chose my name Kelli Lynn,I thought about several and Kelli had the sound I liked and is the name of a very sweet girl I knew while in high school. We never became real close friends but I just lked her and her name. Lynn was chosen because Lynn was a very special fun, very close friend. Each name was chosen because of good memories associated with each. Plus neither name is dirived from my male name, saying something of how I feel.
