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,

My middle boy name was Paul.
Thus Paula.
Have a wonderful day.

I choose Hanna after trying a few different names in my head which never felt right, so taking inspiration from Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana and Ashley benson as Hanna Marin in PLL I decided on Hanna which suits me to a T
SWEET!
If I was born a girl my parents were going to name me Jennelle, so I picked that. It’s kinda funny, before my mom told me that I always loved that name, I knew a few girls named that over the years.
I would love advice on how to dress on a beach as well.
Where can I get a nice wig from? I would like to shop somewhere where my experience can be private if you see what I mean.
I always believed Sabrina was an exceptionally feminine name that evoked a feeling of dignity and grace.
My middle name is Stephen, so Stephanie was a natural choice. My wife tolerates my crossdressing but not really into it and would prefer I didn’t. So I’m mostly on my own when she goes somewhere. I wanted to create an alternate persona and used a female name to help her get a grip on the two different people in embody. It only helped a little for awhile. Now if I mention that Stephanie should do something, such as a Saturday cleaning she will make plans to go do something else.
I sometimes wish the CD desire would go away, but as anyone in my place knows…once you pull on your first pair of panties, there is no going back!
I forgot to mention: do all the research you possibly can before you consider transitioning. Too many people transition and then regret it. I personally have no regrets other than that I didn’t do it in my teens or twenties rather than at 58. Now at 62 l am happy beyond measure. Many, however, are not so freed and have to try to detransition. They are often miserable for the rest of their lives. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
Hi Stephanie! Just like you and my friend Morgan I wanted one of the two to go away. I spent upwards of $10,000 on thirteen different counselors, pastors and priests trying to get rid of the female inside me. In the end, for me, it was the male who had to go away. I have fully transitioned and have never been so happy or at peace with myself and with God! Unfortunately it has cost me my relationship with my five children and my twelve (that I know of) grandchildren. I was already divorced years before. I do have a great support system and am happily married to a wonderful woman!
Hi Stephanie! I too, wanted one of the two personae that kept my mind in conflict to go away. I felt trapped between the two. But I found peace by embracing both my masculine and feminine sides. Perhaps, just like the body, which has two legs, two arms, two eyes, two ears and though one side may be dominant, we don’t discard the other.
There was a male character on general hospital back in the 70s named Sandy and a famous baseball player named Sandy. I also knew of many female Sandy’s. Since my given name started with an S and this name was for both male and female, I chose it as my own.
My mom was going to name me “Stephanie Diane” if I was a girl so that’s the name I choose for my feminine self.
