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 name at birth was Blake, when i started transitioning (im transgender mtf) I honestly didn’t have a name i liked until my best friend one day called me jessica. I loved the name because it clicked with me and my personality, I know its hard to find something perfect but personality and friends with flare sure can help.
Actually a friend chose the name Britney when she introduced me to her Father and Uncle. But I needed something more snappy for Film and Burlesque performance and so BRIT NYC was born.
I named myself Tiffany. So much better than my male name Matt. I picked it because it was girly and it suited me better.
Well hello there: My male name is Charles, however I am also known as Shelby. One of my female co-workers knowing of my femme side one night while looking at me said that I looked like a possible Cyndi and then a few minutes later came up with the Shelby name. I had been going with Carla (Charles). When I said the name Shelby Alaina, Alaina middle name, it sang to me and has been singing ever since. By the way I’ve also have had breast implant sugery going by the name of Shelby.
My male name joey, but I go by Zoey which was easy, I live alone. I have my own bra and panties drawer with two padded girdles I wear a bra and panties everyday to remind myself that I am a woman, I have a wig also! Zoey
I haven’t chosen mine yet, my name is Jesse but I’m not interested in being Jessica, it’s to common if a name, I’m interested in choosing a name that’s sexy as well as feminine, classy with a slightly slutty overtone to it, classy but desirable. Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I’ve already have Amber, Desiree, Amelia, Constance I’m looking to get a list together before deciding
Danielle is my fem name. To be honest it chose me. I am married and have been for 23 years. Danielle is one of my wife’s best friends. We go clothes and makeup shopping together. We are much better as girl friends than we ever were as husband and wife. It has been a long road, and still a long road ahead, but without Kathy’s love and support I’m not sure Danielle would have ever come to life. I have pics but don’t feel comfortable enough to post
My male name is Paul but I go by Paula which was easy.I live alone .I have my own bra and panty drawer with two padded girdles I wear a bra and panties everyday to remind myself that I am a woman. I have a wig also. Paula
