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,
Lucille
I grew up around a bunch of backwoods illiterates who could not spell “Djinn”. Like the spirit of Aladdin’s Lamp, I had a habit of popping in and out of gatherings without notice.
Forgot a picture.
I chose Paula because Paul is my middle name.
I always loved the name Jennifer. I love Jennifer Lopez and I use her middle name Lynn, Scott is my male name.
If I had been a biological girl my parents would have called me Lesley Anne. Anne-Marie was a girl I admired at school so I just added the two together. Also Lesley (Leslie) can be used for either sex which can be quite handy at times. Most Important though, I really, really like it. I think it suits my personality perfectly.
I chose the name Diane Catharine because I think both names are very pretty, and I wanted to keep my initials. “Kate” is short for Catharine.
I took Mia because of Charlies girlfriend in Two and a half men. Like her because she is romantic, a bit crazy and can’t sing, just like me 🙂
Hi Lucille honey goodness girlfriend this a great question and I don’t know for sure why I chose to go with the feminine name I did of course it’s not set in stone but I kind of like maybe the way it fit my often used nickname I think is where it kind of elected itself ok I’ll spill it Maria maybe I like it as it’s almost the middle name of my sister the only one I have left at least which happens to be Marie my nickname which I’m sure your all in suspense I’m really rather tired of not many call me by that it’s just often more a joke I think being given the name Joseph at birth then there had to be that movie with my first and last name at least in its title so I heard it all throughout my years in school and everywhere I worked of course ok I’m getting there are you ready maybe you’ve already put it together but I’ll spell it out I guess the movie title anyway “Mighty Joe Young” oh no I spilled it but there are a lot of us out there so no biggee so I just went with the “Initials” I guess as for my feminine name I liked Marie a pretty name I think and being a fan of Mexican food I replaced the e with a lol Maria J. Young I’ll leave that middle name a mystery for you detective types lol ok I feel so exposed but I’m pretty sure there are plenty of us too in phone books I think they still exist these days anyway I Love You Lucille and all my other Girlfriend’s here too Love MJ
