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 had dabbled with a few different names but nothing felt appropriate. When I came out to my wife (and she overcame the shock of my story), she said I looked like a Kathryn to her. I immediately loved the name and decided to spell it like one of my favorite Star Trek captains, Kathryn Janeway. The middle name (Lynn) is an homage to my wife’s name Linda and the surname Peters is the plural of my male middle name.
My name since I was very little I don’t know why it was always in my mind I loved my name Natalia even though she called me Luis so it wasn’t difficult for me I just need to have my identity documents with my name on it is my next dream
The name my parents chose for me if I had been born a girl was Carole. So I decided that it was my given feminine name, and I happened to like It anyway. I chose Anne as my middle name as my personal choice, because I liked it, and I thought that it fitted well together with Carole. Allen is my actual surname. So I adopted Carole Anne as my femme name. I feel comfortable with my name and identify with it. Carole Anne is who I am. I have settled on my name and will never change it. It is more than just a name- It’s me!
Before I tell you about my name, I need to tell you I am a Jr. Most of my life I was called by my nickname. My full name is Everett Robert Walters, my nickname is Bobby. Now I could have gone with Everetta, or Roberta, but I decided to go with Eve.
My birth name was Michael and my middle was James. I virtually used the feminine version of both names to be Michelle and Jacqueline. My last name Renee came from an old song I quite liked. Just walk away Renee. And now you know the rest of the story.
My wife at the time was having problems with my transition so I said to her ‘You can choose my name, and if I’m ok with it that’s what it will be. ‘ she said Wynsome. I thought it a bit unusual but went with it, and for a year or so I was known as Wynsome. In the meantime our marriage deteriorated and one day she said to me, ‘ Wynsome has bad connotations for me now so if you change your name to Jess I will call you that and be happier. ‘ I didn’t want to change it because I didn’t really like it and thought it would make me look silly not knowing what I want. But I was desperate to hold our marriage together so I did that. In the end she left me anyway. I didn’t want to change it again so I started to call myself Jessica and recently added Rose to it which is my middle name. Morris is my family name which I saw no need to change.
