It’s amazing how much our names shape our identities. Many of us grow into the names we are given at birth. Others never feel a connection to their name.
But crossdressers and transgender women have the unique advantage of being able to choose their feminine names.
There’s a unique story behind every great femme name… and I’d love to hear YOURS!
How did you choose your feminine name?
Please share your story in the comments below. And for extra credit, include a photo! It’s even better to be able to place a name to a face.

I began by feminizing my birth name of Stephen (always was Steve) to Stephanie. But then decided that it was just too similar, and brought up the past for me. I tried on some others I liked; Morgan, Holly, and Willow. I liked Sophia a great deal, but while reading about trans pioneer Sylvia Rivera, I fell in love with the French version Sylvie.
In our family we have a habit of using second names rather than our first names. So, I just use the feminine of my first name, Charlotte. It took me a very long time to get there! I’m probably far from alone on that.
