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,

I have long been a Chrissy. It was simple to add the Y to the abbreviated form of my first name. It leaves a sense of minor confusion. Male or Female? My case both!
I put two conditions in my name, 1st that remember my past, so have the same initial, and is a palindrome, so doesn’t matter were you read it is the same, back to forward or past to future.
2nd that no one known in my family and friends have that name, so for me is unique combination.
I like Kelli, because she was the first female I told years ago that I wanted to transition. She was so supportive and helpful. Wish i could go back in time and see her again. It was funny because i brought up in the conversation “why Kelli with and I?” She told me because it’s special, and so are you! I love that woman!
i am the brunette years ago. I’m still that hot now though! lol
Cute!
My Mother was my guide as a young child discovering his duality. She gave me the feminine name Michelle but also called me Micki. I use both now for Micki sounds fun and playful . Michelle is my formal name.

Hiya everyone,
My name is a direct feminization of my male name, as I am transitioning I chatted with my mother and I decided to change my name so it reflects my name as she chose it.
David John Charles to Davina Jane Charlotte.
Mum is happy as am I

I fluctuate between male and female, though I lean towards female. I chose Alex (Alexandria or Alexander) to cover all bases. It was the name of a high school crush, and it stuck in the back of my head for the longest time until I started thinking more deeply about myself.
Hi Lucille and everybody
When I was young, my mother told me that if I was born female, my name would have been Brigitte.
So I always liked that name, thought of it as my own name given by my mother and thought of adopting it for my woman’s name.
Unfortunately, I have a cousin with that name (she has the same surname as me), and also I have a colleague named Brigitte that I really do not like. So I was finding it confusing and not totally positive for me.
Of course, I could have taken my boy’s name (Frédéric) and just feminize it (Frédérique – a true woman’s name in French), but I wanted a different name from my boy’s name, to underline the fact I was not a boy, somebody else than the boy everybody knew.
So I chose a name that I always loved, Béatrice, which for me expressed gentleness and class.
But after a few years, I realized that even if I was truly a woman, that I was also Frédéric. So I finally felt that the best name for me was Frédérique, recognizing my other life and expressing who I really was, a woman.
And this now my name.
I have always liked the name Julie. I didn’t know anyone named Julie and to me it is such a beautiful name. Renee is another name that I liked. So I put it together Julie Renee. I have talked to people and they say that Julie Renee is a great name. So I go by Julie Renee. I have my email as such. Use that name for everything including my online shopping websites. I just love the name.
I was named after a local town hero who’s name was LaDon. This became my middle name and I always hated it because it was a contradiction. “La” is feminine in the romance languages like French & Italian and “Don” is male. So my middle name translated to feminine-male; I didn’t put this all together in my mind until the day I needed to give myself a female name to match my dressed persona. I added an “na” to the end of it and became LaDonna. Now I absolutely love the modified name now; maybe my parents knew something I didn’t!
