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,

im an indian and my male name is visweswara and wanted to try visweswari but was bad so went with vismaya instead

Yo no elegí mi nombre siempre estuvo en mi mente desde muy niño no se por que razón me gustaba mucho y siempre mi sueño era que me llamaran Natalia le adicione Carolina ya tengo mis documentos de identidad registrados con mi nombre Natalia Carolina sexo femenino me siento muy feliz de estar logrando mis objetivos
I chose River-Dawn because no matter which way a river is flowing it is ether flowing forward to the sea or forward to the land and my life is going forward, albeit slower than I want. Dawn is me waking up every morning being me and being proud of the person I am. Anthony is my given second name which at the moment people know me as, I go by Tony, if people feel uncomfortable calling River-Dawn then they can still call me Tony because it is still my second name, it is their chose, it is also a tenuous link to my past.
Hi,
My name was chosen by my wife. My male name is Cees (pronounced like case in english) and she changed it in Casey to give it a feminine twist which I like.
I picked a female form of my given name, MyraJane. I added the Jane to seem a little southern.
It was weird for me. When I finally accepted that I was meant to be female I try to adopt the name Nancy, in memory of an aunt who died as a baby, I didn’t lie it. I will NEVER forget this. I was laying on the floor watching tv, the wife was sound asleep, I was feeling extremely strange, as though I was no long er in control, I slipped into a teddy and felt warm. She woke came in and went crazy I told her then “My name is Kristine, Jeff is dead” Jeff was the assigned name I have been Kristine Catherine Brown ever since. You should see the heads turn when they call “Kristine” at the Dr office, they all love me there. My newest venture is with the Veterans Admin and a festering issue that has come to a head lol. You can run into some very gay men in the service even if you don’t want to! So I am Kristine, I love my name and I love being transsexual.
It just felt right. It’s nothing like my mail name and I don’t know a Felicity, but it has always been me somehow.
I was delighted to find out that it means happiness, being Felicity does make me happy.
I choose Jade after discussing my former feminine name with my new love and girlfriend. We discussed a new name we both liked and felt engaged too. It feels good and natural.
I chose Vanessa because I always admired the childhood friend I knew back in my home town of Chicago. Even though I now live in Texas, we still communicate with one another by phone & by text messaging. I hope that I will become as good a person as she now that I am transitioning to womanhood where I feel the most happy.
I remember moving to a new house in a bigger town, our previous house was surrounded by working farms. I was 4. Prior to that I was the youngest boy on the street of 3 or 4 houses, I was always with the girls so I played their games, dolls house etc. When we moved I meet a mean boy and a nice girl Tracy, she had the prettiest room full of dolls and pink, I loved it! I was 4 and knew I wanted nothing more than to be a girl, that was a long time ago. There was a young girl who lived across the street in Houston, she came from a disturbed family and loved coming by and hanging out, she loved my wife. Own the 4th I would set off crackers and she would love it, the poor kid. Her name was Christine, but the real Christine was my friends sister, she id asian, he is part asian and had a white dad. I saw her in a yellow slip when I was like 9 or 10 and was in love! with lingerie lol
