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,

I like this name since I was a child. I feel “Debora” as my right female name.
I have had several names throughout the years. I grew with three sisters who were not very feminine. My mother was a hairdresser and also worked in Mary Kay. I constantly saw woman becoming beautiful in her as shop. My female name was Cindy but my name is Tiffany Nicole. These are names which are sexy and feminine.
Hello Lucille, I am sure most people would say I didn’t give much thought toward my femme name. However something interesting has happened all my life concerning my birth name, I was able to tell people my femme name Ellen when asked and they usually said nothing. So on the few times when someone would ask a second time because they realized I had said Ellen instead of Allen I just gave my male name and they thought nothing more of it. I feel that my entire life has just been off by a fraction anyway, granted that fraction makes all the difference when it comes to being male or female. I only wish I had been able to tell everyone from the beginning that I am female and lived accordingly, but the times didn’t allow for that. So here I am in my late fifties finally able to introduce myself to the world (little by little) the name I always heard when people called me by my male name. Also going out dressed and behaving as who I truly am. So yes I chose Ellen as my femme name but at the same time Ellen has always been the name I understood as mine throughout my life.
Nice Ellen
My female name is Tami. When you break it out it is……Transgenered am I …… T am I….
A number of years ago I ran across a newspaper article concerning a boxer named Jake Lamotta. His wife was featured along with him and her name was-you guessed it- VIKKI. I was immediately impressed with the spelling and decided to use it for myself and here I am! Since that time This name has always stayed fresh with me. I suppose because the spelling is somewhat unique and I’ve only seen it on relatively few occasions.
My wife picked my name. she had a friend with the name when she was a child, I love the name.
I love the name Jennifer because of all the beautiful women. named Jennifer such as Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Gardner like hope someday I can be as beautiful as they are love Jennifer
I was looking for a feminine form of my masculine name and I like K. I considered Kelly, but that name can go with someone of either gender. Searching for the feminine form of my masculine yielded Kendra as one of several possibilities.
I reflected on it for a while. It grew on me. It’s not very common. I know no one with the name Kendra so there is no one I’m naming myself after. Every time I’m referred to as Kendra I like it more and more.
As an aside, Kennedy was also a suggestion. A month ago a nephew and his wife had a baby girl who they named Kennedy. I’m glad I didn’t choose Kennedy.
