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,

Around 10 years ago, a female friend of mine asked me if I had a name for myself yet, and I said “No”. She asked me for my full legal name. In an instant, she took my middle name of Sanders, and made it Sandra. And the rest is history.
I Chose my Name, because of the Tartiest Barmaid I ever met, She wasn’t young or even that pretty but She just had something I wanted to be.
I’d been dressing for 20 Yrs in the closet before I met her, but soon as I did I knew I was Jenny.
Love your look, alluring. You look great in BLUE..love the shoes. Great legs, girlfriend.
Pics for your evaluation…I am 73 now, getting harder every year to maintain my efforts to look my best. Won’t go out unless I look good.

Initially as a sci-fi nerd I was thinking of something that referenced sci-fi franchises. Leah Calvin was an early contender. Upon talking to my mother though, she thought for a couple minutes and then said “if you had been born a girl I think we would have named you Catherine Marie.” Well, it just so happened that I already had a habit of responding to vague questions with “mew?” So I figured “Catherine… Cat… I like it.” I’ve been using the name Catherine and the nickname Cat ever since.
I choose my name from 2 TV shows: 1] Deidra from “Deidra Hall-Marlena” on Days of our Lives, and Esmerelda from “Esmeralda” on Bewitched.
As early as I can remember, being born and given the name James Edward was horrific when I heard my name called. All of my brothers had names representative of my dad’s Italian Heritage (we had no sisters). By age 7, I secretly referred to myself as Ann Marie (my mum’s middle name and a cousins who I adored). When I reached my early 20’s those close to me would call me Ann or Annie.
15 Years ago yesterday I legally changed my name, though Ann Marie was not what I chose. After thought to two girls who had the most profound impact on my life and who had passed away I chose to legal change my name to Ariana Giovanna D. Both their names have beautiful meanings. My family for the most part rejected me and there was a spiritual aspect of these two women who were always loving and caring to me have taught me to accept my own essence though I was not allowed to do growing up!
I guess it all comes down to the way you want to perceive who you really are inside I like to see it as a nice soft name for my nature of who I am the way the name gives me Grace and tenderness from the bottom of my heart I love my female identity and I enjoy the fact that I can go by and name that makes me comfortable
Hey ladies. I have never posted a photo of me before. …. I don’t feel I do well in front of the camera. … and unless someone feeds me a joke ( and the shutter doesn’t take too long ) I can’t seem to smile for the shot…. just had horrible teeth most of my life…. dentures now.
This is the costume we wore to work last night at Disneyland. …. I also saw another sister working the same shift. It’s a bit of a shame how we avoid each other…. so as not to OUT each other. ….. as if either one of us is actually hidden
Cropped off the ooogly shoes… giggle
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
