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!

Hello Lucille,
After my meltdown in January 2013 I was fortunate enough to have met the right people who gave me GOOD advice and one of the people I was told to see was Kalina Isato.. This was after I had a makeover done by Amanda’s True Colors Makeup Artistry.. I went to Kalina to have her take my measurements and while doing so I told her about myself and she asked me if I had a name?? NO!! Even though this has been with me ever since I can remember I never picked one and was thinking about asking other girls what they thought I should be?? Do I look like a Susan, Linda?? I didn’t want to go from Bill to Billie and Kalina said that I need to pick my own name that a name is personal and she asked me if I had anyone in my life that made an impression on me so I thought about my Two Aunts!! The first was my Aunt Emma My Mothers Older Sister and my Godmother and My Aunt Dianne who was my Fathers younger Sister both Deceased… Then I decided that I wanted to use both names but Emma Dianne didn’t quite sound right to me so Emma became Emily and it starts with Em so i feel my Aunt Emma is still represented in my name… So That how I became Emily Dianne Miles… Miles is my actual last name…
I didn’t want to be a Peggy, Sally or even a Sharon! I wanted something different, unusual. Then a friend who was well into astrology told me that a ‘trines’ was when two separate entities (eg two planets) come very close, face away from each other and remain in conflict with one another. “That has to be my name” I thought; it sounded feminine and perfectly described the conflict between my female brain and my male body. Even better, a Google search suggested no-one else had Trines as a formal name. I transitioned fully earlier this year and now live as Trines 24/7 and am lucky enough to be universally accepted in my village and at work. Since then I have found out my friend was quite wrong, a ‘trines’ has no conflicts, in fact it is a good augury and the two separate identities exist in perfect harmony. Well, I can live with that too because since my transition I have never known such inner peace and tranquility. No pinching by name though – I want to stay unique!!! Hugs, Trines x x
Cool story and name, but I’ll stick with mine and won’t steal yours. Mine suits ME.
Luisa just came into my head when I realized that I had this desire to have some pretty boobs (but modest sized). So, since I have evolved into ED and still love be with my girlfriend of many years, I decided to take on a girl’s name for our relationship. I am all excited about taking the capsules of Pueraria Mirifica sold at stherb.com and look forward to the first tingling of nipples that will announce my feminization! What a thrill!
I only want modest boobs too. I never liked big boobs on girls. I’ve been taking that herb for over 6 months and recently added bovine overies too. I have had nice pert little Boobies for months now, when I was flat chested (no man boobs before ). Yes my nipples are pretty sensitive now
how do i choose a girls name i have been on female hormone pills for while now im starting see some changes with my body

Hi Lucille,
In my case it was a no brainer. Since my male name is Theodore, using Teddi was a natural choice. Sorry I couldn’t give you a more exotic scenario.
I once asked my mother, that if I had been born a girl, what she would have named me. Her response was Rosalind. Not “roz”, not “rosie”, but Rosalind. When I asked her why “Rosalind”, she responded that she always liked that name, that it had a “touch of class”.
I’m a crossdresser
I like big boobs
My 1st experience of cross dressing was when the girl from next door who used to sit with me when my parents were out at work and I was on 6 weeks school holiday persuaded me to swap clothes with her one very rainy day and we had nothing to do. I reluctantly did as she wanted and eventually began to look forward to rainy days. Her name was Linda and I always liked that name anyway plus it is just simply a girls name, so I took it for my name.
