It’s amazing how much our names shape our identities. Some names feel like a perfect fit from the start, while others never quite resonate with us.
However, crossdressers and transgender women have the unique opportunity to choose their own feminine names.
Every great MTF name has a story behind it, and I’d love to hear YOURS.
How did you choose your feminine name?
Please tell us your story in the comments below, and if you can, share a photo too. It’s always lovely to put a face to a name!
Love,
Lucille
I was a science student, and that was how I approached it. I made a lists and narrowed it down and spent a lot of time thinking about it. Then I listened to the b sides that came with Flogging Molly’s Whiskey on a Sunday doc, and heard them sing Laura. It was like magic.
This was my first attempt and has nothing to do with my other name. I wanted something unique, and this one came to mind. I thought it was quite lovely so stuck with it.
I chose Margaret because I had asked my mother what she would have name had I been born as a girl and she said Margaret after my maternal grandmother.
My first attempt at a feminine name was a feminine variation of my birth name. After a time I decided that did not really fit. I have always liked the name “Robin”. It was the name of one of my first and dearest childhood friends, a girl named Robin who lived a few doors down from my grandmother’s house, which I visited often. The name is also attractive because it was one of those “either or” kind of names, that could be assigned to a male or female. I checked the census data on the most popular babyies’ name for the year of my birth and found that both were fairly common, although Robin was about 3 times as popular for girls as it was for boys. It all came together for me and I have been happy with “Robin” ever since.
I chose my female name as Annette,
because I met a couple at a party years ago. The wife was very beautiful and I was attracted to her feminine appearance, figure, makeup , hair, clothing, high heels she wore,
her polished nails, her pretty legs
and her shiny silky black nylons she wore.
When she sat across from me in her silky dress in a chair,
her nylon slip lace showed.
I was trying not to look at her.
She had big breasts and a wide hips,
and she swayed her hips and butt when she walked in her feminine silky dress around the party.
I think she knew I liked her, like forbidden fruit , to tease and around me.
I was dressed in drab, but I as a closet crossdresser that I would adopt her name as my cd name too.
I wanted to look and be attractive like her too.
After the party broke up,
I went home to crossdress up pretty
and thought about Annette all-night long,
after that.
I chose it from a girl I went to high school with and wanted to be her from the minute I saw her. I always knew I was different but was glad to know I’m not out here alone
I took my middle name Samuel and feminized it to Samantha. So when I sign anything I can just sign Samantha White.
Love to you all,
Samantha xxx
May I please compliment
Samantha White on her pretty feminine pic.
Annette.
My name came from a blend one of my dearest female friends, and from one of my favorite cousins, both who had passed away.
I know they would have accepted this side of me, and I chose to honor them by taking their names and making them my own.
It just felt right to me.
