How did you find your female name?

[Devlyn]

Mine kind f found me. I liked the name Felicia but I don't feel like a Felicia. I used Lexi as part of a screen name long ago and just kind of kept it in my head. Then the day I came out to the world alot of strange coincidences happened. There was someone else named Lexi and she dressed, acted and looked like I wanted to be. I figured that since it was such a strange coincidence it must be. Plus it's a unique, pretty and unmistakably girly name. I can wait to have my ID changed to that.

I named myself Tracey but my best friend said I didn't look like a Tracey, so she named me Devlyn. I had beat around the bush and asked my mother once and she said I would have been named Maureen, that went to my younger sister the next year (We're Irish!  ).

Hugs, Devlyn

I got mine from a Podcast called Welcome to Nightvale. One of the characters is a girl named Tamika Flynn, she is placed in the library's summer reading program, which is usually fatal. She leads a revolt against the librarians, and through a combination of grit, resourcefulness, and reading she manages to survive the program and take down a librarian.... it's uh, a weird podcast.

I really didn't put too much thought into it. I was already out of the closet and people kept asking me, "What's your femme name?"  And I would just have to answer, I don't have one yet.  So I started thinking about femme names and I was like how about jessica, julie, sandra, kati, mary beth, nancy. WAIT. I've been called Nancy before.  Usually with the suffix boy after it.  But still.  I've also been called Betty, Mary, Sissy, Cherry among others that I can't say here on Susans.   

Eventually I just picked Jane as it sounded like a name I wouldn't have too much trouble pulling off.

It didn't take me too long to choose, i knew a nurse named Sue and she was always smiling and lovely to be around. Sweet Sue it was and I love a simple short name. My wife wanted me to change it to the female spelling of Peter even maybe Petra. I needed something totally separate from my everyday life.
