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,

I opted for Terri and took my wife’s last name. I was named Terrence and never really liked that name, my nickname, Terry, was used most often. I went from a Y to an I about three years ago, I feel the feminine name suites me better and makes me feel true to myself.
I got my name from these 2 lovely female’s while sitting in the ultra VIP section last year at a NOFX concert. I then gave Fat Mike my 6 inch high heels shortly after and proceeded to the mosh pit..
Back in 2006, I started playing the MMORPG game World of Warcraft(WOW). When creating your character for the first time, you can choose between several races and two genders. I initially chose a male character because I thought I might get discovered and called out even in WOW. Flash forward to 2007; a new expansion and two races, Blood Elves and Draenei, have been added to the game. The female characters were beautiful. I chose to play a female Draeniei. I wanted my character to have an exotic name, but every name I tried to select was taken. I eventually started to type names at random with no luck. I eventually found the name Alla. What a beautiful name; she was the woman I could be, even if it was only a game. Of course, people would ask, “Why did you choose a female?”. My response which I said more times than I can count: “If I am going to look at a character’s ass for several hours a week, it might as well be a woman’s ass.” I spent many hours playing that character.
Later, I would choose the Alla when creating characters on other servers and in other games. It became a running joke with my friends. The year is now 2020, and I have joined a support group for trans people even though I still did not identify as trans(I considered myself a cross-dresser only). The very first question asked of me was: “What is your preferred name?”. WOW, I was blown away. What name did I want to be called? I could use my old name because it could be both masculine and feminine. No, that would not work; even though I did not know that I was on a journey, I realized that choosing this name had to be meaningful. There was no doubt the woman with whom I spent many years “looking at her ass” was the woman I wanted to be; thus, Alla Nicole Davis was born. At the time, her name was Alla Nicole Andrews; however, I reverted to my original last name in January 2023. In June of this year, my Official name became Alla Nicole Davis.
Mine was suggested by the young lady who did my first makeover. I luvved it straight away, sounded just a little regal & if it had been left to me, I probably would have chosen something wacky!
In the picture, I am the one on the right with the “Rainbow” shirt. I was Paul Louis before but I thought Paula Louise would be a simple change also having worked with the Marines while I was in the Navy, they had an acronym K.I.S.S. which I cleaned up to be Keep It Simple, Sexy! Here’s an interesting side bar, I came across some of my mom’s papers and she wrote “If my child is a girl; I’ll name her “Paula Louise.” Who would have thought that?
I just use the feminine of my given name, I haven’t changed any documents or anything, because everyone usually mispronounces my name, anyway, so if I’m en -femme, I just correct them. I like the feminine way it sounds, and the way it makes me feel.
Kelsey was the name that I was named at my birth. As the years progressed the name was becoming more main stream and more female’s were being named Kelsey. So since my name was already female related, I decided to leave as is. I changed my middle name from Charles to Charlene, sounds so much better!
I chose Suzy since I’ve always thought that was such a feminine name. All my friends now call me Suzy as well. I am retired, age 76 and live the majority of my life as a woman now. I love it!
