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 went through a couple names before deciding on Rebeca. I finally wrote all the names that I liked on paper and Rebeca Lyn Williams just seemed to flow so naturally, so here I am :). I love the name because I can be serious and use Rebeca or if I want to be more informal and cute, I go with Becky. Either way, both are ultra feminine and I adore the name. I chose to use only one C in Rebeca so it would be different and I used my old first name as my new last name.
I chose my name from a girl I dated who was close to my size and dressed professional sexy. I wanted to look just like her. I didn’t want anything close to my name as that reminded me of my male self.
Same initials.. kinda tried an anagram. didn’t work, but I have now been linda for a LONG time
I selected the name Jennifer after I had gone out enfemme with a female friend of mine. I had an awesome time. It was the second real time I went out enfemme totally. My friend had introduced me to people as her sister, Jennifer. I liked the name and it seemed to just fit. I have in cases added Lynn as a middle name. So, it has been Jennifer Lynn for me. I asked my friend why she came up with the name Jennifer for me. She had told me that she did in fact have a sister Jennifer, but had passed when she was young. I was told by my friend that since she and I got along so well, and we acted like sisters anyways, she felt that I was like her sister that she lost a long time ago. So, here I am world as Jennifer Lynn
Lisa is my favorite fem name. I wanted to name my daughter that but was overruled.
Lucille, I chose the name Bonnie Lea for 2 reasons. One, that it was close to my real name (Bob) but also because it felt like a connection to my Irish heritage. I always thought that it had a lilting sound to the first and second name and it just makes me feel good when I at least say it to myself.
Interestingly I always hated my name “Louis”, when my mother called me that I knew I was going to get a good beating which was about 2-3 times a day till I was about 14.
For some reason when I saw myself for the first time and how happy I had become, I added an “e” to become “Louise” everything worked.
About the time I came out, coaching a women’s team, Denise was
a nice woman and even not a model looking gal, she dressed up real nice,
I was a David so Denise is the female version. I used her name as a mentor like person for me.
