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,

One of my patients whom I was nursing was called Daya which I discovered was from a South Indian Language and meant, Peace and Mercy.
I was also a big fan of the Phantom of the Opera and loved the female lead’s surname.
As well as the above, the first letter is the same as my birth name and so I thought if anyone did call my first name out, at least if I raised my head, I could say that I thought they were going to call me or I thought they had etc.
I think the most poignant reason for this name was the meaning surrounding it as I had nursed somebody to a peaceful end and was able to show mercy as a nurse, this is a privilege.
Also I knew that some would show me mercy and others not on my journey to wholeness and congruence. No matter what I would meet along the transitory path, I knew I would find much peace if no or little mercy.

I’ve had a couple of name changes. At first, i choose Kayla Lambert which last for a few yrs and Lambert was because of one of my favorite singers.
I did some research and wrote down a list of names. I finally sat down with a girlfriend of mine. We went through the list and Sara Emily was born.
When I was a very young teenager I was trying to get to grips with my Gender Dysphoria, little was known about the subject then. A young woman, Heather, I think understood me better than most, even doctors. From that point on I decided that I would hijack her name for me. I always called myself by that name and legally changed my whole life as Heather. I have never been so happy to be that person ever since.
Love to you all.

What a wonderful story! I hope you have told Heather that you took her name because of the love and understanding she showed you. There is no greater honor than to be named after someone special.
Dana is my name given at birth 66 years ago. I don’t think there were any females named that then but as the years went by and I started receiving mail addressed to “Miss Dana ….” I kinda liked that idea. Now it is almost exclusively a female name. Can you imagine someone naming their male child “Dana”? Here in Colorado the laws are very convoluted concerning name changes but with the new year there will be legislation introduced – and hopefully passed – that will make it very easy to change your name. I hope to change my middle name to Christina from Paul. It will keep Christ in my being forever
Brandy just sounds nice I always liked the song and how she walked through life alone but in love besides my initials didn’t have to change
When I was a child I felt very feminine from a very early age, according to my mother around 4. The girls in the neighborhood let me play house and with their dolls. I would wear some of their outgrown dresses and they called me Virginia. I felt so proud to be a girl, even parttime. There was a doll named Jenny and then I became Jennie. At around 10 I chose my name Michelle when another girl named Jennifer moved into the neighborhood. I.ve always liked my middle name with my “real” first name.
So most people think my guy name was Tony buy that’s not true. I just loved the name as its not too common but fun. Mrs Tonya Pear Champagne is my whole name.
Be safe and have fun,
Tonya ♡
I went with Robyn first, then Rachyl. I am going to change my name to finally to Rachel. I am now 36D cup and have stopped using my Noogleberry pump and XL cups
