I have always known that if I had been born female then my parents were going to name me Catriona so I figured why try to come up with a new name when I already have a perfectly good one.

Perfect as you say - bet your male name really is inappropriate

I just feel that I am a Mandy. Well part of that is definitely true lol

lol - well put - hon - yep suits ya

Named after a girl I used to work with and had a massive crush on

my girlfiriend chose it

My girlfriend at the time called me Danielle.

I was called Andrea by my very first boyfriend....he said it was like naming a ship and then blessing all who sail in her!
he was a rude and crude man at times!!
but very loving!

my first name of Julie was a name I always liked, my second name of Black comes from first the town I live in Blackpool and secondly from one of my fav actresses Claudia Black who was in the film Pitch Black and in the tv series Farscape

love claudia and amanda tapping !!!!!!

hmmm, always loved the name Jasmine, my teenage love decided it worked at the time. I used Jaxx for two reasons, first the play on words, but more inportant a close girlfriend has a very similar last name and she is a stunning brunnette! I love her looks, so a bit of flattery...

My name choose me a long time ago when I was young and used to go to a group called Roses in Islington, North London.

I chose terri because it's fairly ambigous, dee-who knows. If I was to come on here as my male self think I would have gone for Admirer_ Hindley.

you have themakings of a standup girl!!!

Yikes ooooh where did my Femme name come from now thats a tough one, l suppose Annie just sorta sounded right, l just looked in the mirror and Annie sorta came out as my name a revelation l suppose.

So thats my name story.

Beckie - from this girl who fancied me at school, but I fancied a girl called Mandy. And Cannons - as Cannon had been taken when I tried to get an email acount with yahoo I think - and I'd been to the tower of the london the weekend. Kinda stuck and can't change it now. But hey I like it.

Is rather discocerting when people who are in a conference call are called Becky - like what happened on Thursday.

All my tranny mates in drab call be Beckie - does get rather mad having two names.

Oh and 'ie' again cause the 'y' version had gone - a names a name - it's whats inside that counts.



x Becca
ps and the Becca bit cause when i go up North, thats what i got called - Ms Cannons, Beckie, Becky, Becca, Rebecca, Bex - i answer to most things

just love the name sara , and wanted a middle name as i have never had a middle name , but wanted something that flowed after the first name
so sara-Louise or sara-Lou it became

Well i just liked the name Paula and no my old name wasnt paul lol xxxx

Well how i got my name put together. the first name Angie is from when i was 13 and ad a girlfriend who was called angie and that name stuck with me through my life,my second name well when i first started to dress it took me back a bit and i did alot of looking in the mirror thing and i just said to my self,'' Me how'',in a struggle to except myself like this,so i shortened it to meow,also at the same time my x wife ad cats and i was looking after them for her and one of them got attached to me and used to stand there going meow meow as cats do so i made my mind up to call my second name Meow.hope all this makes sense.lol

Angie its a great story - love it - and yes I know what you mean Me How???!!!!

Mizia is not a common name. It's a nick at all. It comes from shortening the femalke form of my (male) first name. Maurizio has always sounded awful to me and the female form, Maurizia, is still more awful. When i began dressing my mother's stuff, while looking at the mirror it came natural to me shorting my name in Mizia. I have always felt Mizia as my true name, not a nick, an alias of fantasy name but nothing else that my trune name:-)

Ann was a 9 year old girl neighbour I hero worshipped when I was about 4. Kay is vaguely influenced by Kay Kendall, I prayed for legs like hers when I was about nine (google her she's still wow!) . Zola is from the 19th Cent French author I admire, Emile Zola. I think I might be his great grand niece twice removed or something. (Make believe story). Also A K Z spans the alphabet = degree of my inclusiveness n sense of personal liberty. Nicky Miniskirt has played games with my name Annarchy etc

As Admirers also have different names - mine was a secret one given to me by my sister, who was studying Greed Mythology at the time, and obviously had a vivid imagination, but I quite liked it so kept it.
