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
My Mom pick Aimee Eve for me it I was born girl at birth so? I just fill her wish for me.
I did not not choose my name. I was very deeply repressed (with all the attendant damage that comes with that). The one thing that came through since puberty where my dreams of being a woman. In every dream that a name popped up it was Sabrina, aka Bree (nickname), so when I finally realized who I am, the name was there,as she plainly told my ignorant male facade she was named Sabrina Daphne, nickname of Bree. That s my legal name today!!!
I started with using Rikki but after some time I felt that was too little girly. I then went to Brianna ( middle name Brian) but I wasn’t happy with that one because it was too, I don’t know, snobby? I settled on Margo because I like it and it seems to suit me. All youre correspondence to me is Rikki that’s fine as I haven’t told you I changed it til now
The internet named me! I had shopped online and was asked to review a product and the company I purchased it from. When I hit ‘submit’, the message came up that this would be publicly posted under the name “Michelle B”. I have no idea how it happened, but I LOVE the name (and the one girl I used to know that had that name. The middle name just came along all by itself. The initials are my male ones too, so its all good!
My daughter (who accepts my femme self) mentioned to me that she had told some relatives of ours that ‘Dad sometimes wears women’s clothes’. I told her that *I* don’t. I let Michelle out and SHE does. I really feel that way about it, that there IS a Michelle and she is her own person. (It’s hard to explain to someone that doesn’t have this ‘problem’). She has only gotten to be out since my wife died. My late wife, though a loving and supportive person in many ways, would have NEVER accepted Michelle. Now, Michelle wants out a LOT! and has passed 99% of the time. Especially when she realizes that she has to ‘act her age’ and not dress like the young girls that she is not. She missed her youth and ‘we’ look back with some regret that I didn’t let it happen years ago – ‘our’ life would have MUCH different, I’m sure. In fact, I think that *I* may not even exist any more – just her!
I just took the first 3 letter in my name tyi changed it to tai and added sha it’s just and idea I can up wit
I have always loved the name Karen.Not to date myself but I have always had a crush on Karen Black and when I chose to explore my inner self I chose Caren as a way to show who I am. I spell it this way to celebrate who I am!
Well for me it’s simple I just took the first 3 letter in my name tyi changed it to tai and Andes sha to make Taisha and I luv it
I was given the name Charles but it really doesn’t suit me anymore. Still I was somewhat used to being called Charlie especially since it can also be used as a girls name. So I simply decided to go for the feminine version of my name hence my new name will be Charlotte Josephine Hill. Sorry I don’t have a new photo of myself. Hugs to Lucille and all of you brave and beautiful ladies. 🙂
