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 have 4 older siblings, 3 brothers and a sister. I arrived much later. Of course Mom wanted a girl. She told me her name would have been Melissa.
It was actually chosen for me. I was registering on a dating site. The site gives you your login name. At the time, I was thinking of the name Jenna Rae, as in Rae Daw Chong. The login name they gave me was Jennara. It was love at first site!
When I chose my name, I wanted something that was close to my birth name, so I would not turn my head in responce if someone in a crowd said the name. But I also wanted to have my love of fur coats (my most favorite clothing!) as part of my name too. One day I was looking for a new fur and found a “Crystal Fox” jacket. Short for “Crystal” is sometimes “Chris” and that was when I chose my new name! It has every thing that I wanted and fit!
I chose Dixie cus its sexy cute and fun and its the first initial of my boys name that I don’t say anymore
Before becoming a transgender.i had major cush on a girl name Kelly. She of course wasn’t interested in me. My negative feeling for dating females started then.
Over the years I’ve used womens names who I admired but have settled on my current name and have used it exclusively for a few years now. Its the female version of my name Michael and my last name comes from the feeling I have when dressed which is I feel like a queen.
Working with a girl, (she was maybe 10 years younger). Having drinks one day she touched the garter tab that barely showed on my thigh. She whispered “I know”! I replied It’s not what you think. She said “I’ll bet its everything I think it is”.
We started a five year relationship. Her insistence on having me always wear something under my male clothes led her to calling me Laurie girl one time in front some of her friends.
My actual choice would have been vikki, but, after going public with my transition, I thought it easier for friends family to go from “ Bob”, to Bobbi. 10 years later, I still get called Bob occasionally
