My name was easy. My boy name starts with G. And I wanted to feel like me . So I started my girl name with G and stuck a ‘na’ on it. Gina. Quick, easy, fun, me!!!

Thanks for sharing, but I think crossdressers need a female name

My name is Nick. My gurl name is Nikki Morningstarr but I still answer to Nick as a gurl. I feel that adopting a female name is a bit disingenuous becausd yes I am presenting as a gurl but I am simply a boy that loves to feel pretty.. and get attention from men… and give said men attention back… sigh so yeah Nikki

Hello Liz and blog readers

I just discovered your blog today in a list of Top 10 crossdressing blogs. Congrats for making that list.

By way of background, my name is Jules and Sophia. I have a somewhat similar experience to Liz and others on this blog. I am a man who’s been highly successful in business, in particular all sorts of technology related businesses, having taken a company public and sold several more.

I was crossdressing secrely for years. Both when I was married, and then especially the last 10 years being deliberately single.

I started telling people about 3 years ago. I was very surprised at the reactions of people. Women were totally cool with it, and girlfriends generally embraced it. I’ve had sex with a few men, but predominantly women. Some of my girlfriends even really enjoyed dressing up together and being “sisters” and “girlfriends”.

I must add, the women were sexually turned on because of 2 reasons. One, they got to act out their lesbian fantasies and desires, and two, we often role played.

My current girlfriend is not only into my dressing but also let’s me express my Feminine side. She loves calling me Sophia.

I chose that name quickly for several reasons. Im Italian, it was the alternative name for my daughters and I find it sexy as a reference to Sophia Loren and others.

Thanks Liz for your blog. Its both informative and entertaining. I hope to be a regular reader and commenter.

Ciao
Sophia

In reply to Krista. This is a beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing, Krista! <3 You were very lucky to have a mum that loved you so much <3

Hi Liz, my Mom gave me the name Krista before she passed away five years ago. And when she told me, I immediately loved it. Mom always wanted a daughter (she was sure I’d be born a girl so had a name picked out) but ended up with two sons. I’m sure if she was still here, she’d be okay with me crossdressing. Mom and I always had a connection (I never really got along with my very traditional authoritarian and abusive father). When I was in elementary school (late 1950s/early 1960s), she and I would take the bus to the big city on Saturday and spend the day shopping, going to a restaurant for lunch, then catching a movie. I definitely enjoyed our “girls” days out together. Mom was definitely the parent who influenced me the most and I really miss her. Stay safe, stay healthy, All the Best, Hugs, Krista.

Interesting points you raised Liz and I gotta say the one that gets me thinking the most is the gender expectations and would we need to make up names in the first place.
But anyway enough thinking, My female name is Maggie Williams. Maggie is a nickname I had for a good portion of my life. My last name starts with a Mc, but people always pronounced the Mc as Mag. Americans! So my name turned into Maggie for short. My middle name is William.
It just seemed natural and right. Thanks for asking and interesting stories from many people.

In reply to Dee. Yes, those Nordstrom angels! I've had nothing but good experiences with Nordstrom! <3

About 15 years ago I went out one time and decided on the name Allison, who was the first girl I had a crush on (way back in 8th grade). But I never went one and never “felt” the name was me.

In October 2016 I had my coming out (nails, makeover, shopping, etc) and began interacting with a couple of Nordstrom sales Angel’s, whom I would visit from time to time. They just knew me by my male name.

So during the summer of 2017 Nordstrom is having their anniversary sale and my friendly sales Angel Falon sets up a room for my appointment. The SAs wrote the first names of the customers on their respective dressing room doors. As Falon only knew me by my male name (which is all I had), she wrote the first initial of my male name and my last name.

I then decided I needed a girl name and the simplest answer was to use my male initial, and that’s why I chose the name Dee (it helped my wife had a friend named Diane but everyone called her Dee).
