I’ve just discovered this site! Where have I been?! …..I got my name from my heart. I’ve always felt that Karen was a name for a cute, feminine girl. Several years ago I went to a Halloween Party dressed as a princess (No, not a disney princess, just a princess) and many of my classmates, both guys and girls, said I made a cute looking girl. So, ever since then. I was Karen whenever I dressed. And I do feel cute and feminine when dressed.

Now, why am I just finding this? I saw a post on Stace’s blog that mentioned your post, Jessica. What an interesting set of responses.

I moved from the East Coast of the USA to California. I wanted a new identity and never really had much of an Internet presence prior to that anyway. On a whim, I needed a name for an email address. When I told my friends on the East Coast that I was moving to California, many times the reply was, “Your so lucky to move to Cali!”. I did not like that spelling, so I thought about Callie with two L’s but wanted something a bit more original so I went with one L. I never thought the name would stick. Indeed, if I were to transition today, I would simply have to use Calie as my legal name. There are just too many who now call me by that name.

I wanted to keep the first letter of my name and wanted something a bit Drag Queen styled so I weant for “Moonlight Desires” but I have now decided that I would prefer a more femme name that feels like me (if you know what I mean) so I chose a softer more mature name “Marilyn” with my mothers maiden name I feel more like a real woman now with my new name, Moonlight was cute but just a passing novelty.

Well I just started crossdressing a couple weeks ago actually but already know I’m not giving it up since I actually become happier when wearing pretty skirts and tall socks. Actually already spent most of a day at my college in a skirt, thigh-highs and sweater (which frankly looked pretty bad). I’m naturally extremely feminine and when I am feeling this way physically not just mentally it was odd being called by my real name. I came up with my name by taking parts of my real first and middle names and then altering some letters. I really love this site and have been reading it a lot for advice and tips. I’m still working on everything so hopefully I can act how I feel. Thank you for this site being here.

I never had a femanine name until I started my blog earlier in the year. If I ever thought about it I always thought that I would choose Victoria (The name my parents had picked had I been a girl – I actually quite like it).

When it came to entering a name for the email account Stacy just dropped in there. So I decided to keep it – it seemed very natural so why pick something else.

I still switch between “Stacy’ and ‘Stace’ but then do something similar for my actual name in real life as well…

Yes, it’s a very emotional choice

Very true Warren , some crossdressers do not choose a femme name in that case

I chose Stacey because it’s close to my real name of Stan. Stacey is a fun name and I like it. I also chose a middle name of Renea eventhough my birth middle name of Ray can be a girl’s name. I just like Renea better.

So, I’m a Jessica too… I’m also lucky enough to know the name my mum picked for me when she was hoping for a girl – little does she know, she got one! But it’s also a strong case of going with your heart, as once I remembered this fact there was no way any other name would get a look in. I’m not sure my Aunt Jessica would approve though, she’s very traditional…

Why do I need two names? I am the same person “en femme”as
“in drab”?

I love how you brought the two names together to form one, thanks for sharing Leslee

My male name is Lee but I always liked the name Leslie so I combined the two and arrived at Leslee. The different spelling suits me perfectly. My close tg friends always refer to me by Leslee no matter how Im dressed. I really like it better.

[...] this question so many times and I never really thought about answering it publicly until I saw a post on a crossdresser blog talking about how to select a femme name. I guess I should probably talk about how I selected my own name and each bit of my first, middle [...]
