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,

My wife gave me my name. Her name is Martha but a woman bartender always called her Marsha and I took it when she said You can be Marsha I will stay Martha.
Hi Lucille, i think i picked my name cause i5 just felt right. I wanted something that fit that fit me, with a little country gal twist, which is y i picked Samantha Jane. It could also be from Bewitched, and also the first girl who i asked out as a kid, but didnt go out with cause too nervous had same name. It just sounds like a lady who is pretty but also a bad girl at times.
Hi Lucille,
Most people used to call me Nick but as I became increasingly aware of my feminine side, I longed for this to be recognised in the way people related to me, whilst at the same time not loosing sight of a degree of maleness. Rather out of the blue, I started using the name Nicky and with the simple addition of the Y, the impact was more profound than I could have imagined. I felt that that along with my maleness, my feminine identity was at last valued whenever people called me Nicky. I should add that where I live, although some men are called Nicky, the vast majority of people with the name Nicky are women.

I’ve been using Michelle as an alias first name for years. It feels natural and feminine. As I continue to transform my bioform into my natural feminine state to match who I am, I will continue with the name change. I’ve been discontinued by the family that had adopted me at a young age, so I will change my whole name eventually to Michelle Marie Monet. I like it and it is very feminine and is catchy.
I wanted a name that was feminine yet not overly feminine. I also wanted a name that I would answer to. For example, if my back were turned and someone called out a name, I wanted a name that I would turn around to answer.. Since my birth name is Richard. And I have been called every nickname of it. I wanted one that was feminine yet familiar and one that I liked. So “Ricki” seemed to be a good choice. I used a similar method to arrive at my last name, after all, real people have both a FIRST and LAST name.
My name just came to me and so I just thought why not spell it just a little bit different than what most people see it. I thought it fit myself and then my sister helped me with my middle name. So it is Veronika Sammantha English
I picked my name after a very sweet lady whom i admired very much.
Well, my name has been the easiest thing in my transition. It’s the one my mother gave me. Morgan was not my first name, but my middle name, I really liked it, and I feel like dropping my first name was legally easier! Besides, I want to be a marine biologist, and Morgan means “lives by the sea”. Perfect
