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 gf gave me my name as Payal
“Vera” means faith in Russian. I have…. how you say “trusted my femme feelings”.
When I was still in high school I was talking with my Mom. I asked her what my name would have been if I were born a girl. She would have named me Summer as it is a name she always liked and that was the season I was born. Having already having two girls she was happy that I was a boy. She never knew about my girly desires. I believe she would have supported me though. I do miss her.
My mom told me when I was young, that she had picked out the name Rachel for me if I was a girl. She did not know how much that name stuck.
I took a long time to come to the decision on my femme name and I decided on Shiori Ayako Tochidaiwa. I grew up watching anime and always loved Japan and Shiori is my favorite character the I felt a personal connection to. I decided to use the nickname my friend from Fukuoka Japan nicknamed me when we were little and my online identity has been Tochidaiwa for over a decade and has grown to be a part of who I am. Also my passion for Japan and plans to move to Japan encouraged the adoption of a Japanese name.
Same as I always knew I was a girl. Deep inside I always knew my real name was lisa.
My femme name is Diora Cohen.My Femme look is not complete,but that’s the name I have chosen.I looked at my sister’s magazine collection last year and saw the Dior ads in a few mags.I just added the a and Cohen? Looked through the yellow pages and Cohen fit.
