Your Name

[joanna]

  Greetings all,

  My name here is actually my real middle name.  I had my middle name
  changed to joanna almost one year ago.

  It was a scary but really simple process.  The Judge only asked one
  question and it took only five minutes.  My middle initial is still the
  same so it does not make much difference on most documentation.

  It is a wonderful feeling knowing that my feminine being can be
  expressed openly and not hidden away in some dark corner anymore.

  Sincerely.


  joanna

[Stormy Weather]

Stormy Weather is my real name... 



No, not really. It's a draggy sort of name to describe my over-wrought and unstable state of mind since GRS and the weird effect the post-op hormones have on me compared to my pre-op ones. It's also a reflection of the many troubles I've faced in my life, my stressed work state, and also the (seemingly) endless lots of surgery that I have to keep on going back for...

Not easy going, a bit too intense, but good for a laugh now and then.

[nigno]

I chose Nigno because it is different and means I dont have to deal with a lot of the "gender stuff" that goes with an obvious m/f first name

[kaelin]

It's not my real name.

I identify as male, but I went with an androgynous name.  Why?  I'm a little partial to setting an example of not forcing things upon kids.

[Maebh]

My real name is Yves the patron saint of Britany and pronounced like the name Eve in English (the s is silent). My feminine side his Ma Eve (My Eve in French) which give Maeve (english spelling of) Maebh (the Irish name of) the Warrior Queen of Connaught.  A bit circular maybe but very much in the Celtic tradition.
Anyway I always liked Maebh who started the war against Ulster by stealling the brown bull of Cooley to teach a lesson to her husband Aillil who "ran with the hares". It means that he was selfish in bed, hello Mam, hohoo Mam, thank you Mam...  with no regard to her fulfillment!
With Graine (Grace O'Malley) the Pirate Queen of Clew Bay who conversed in Latin with Elizabeth I of England to get her son held hostage in the Tower of London released, who also kidnaped then bedded the Saint Leger's son of Howth Castle where she had been refused hospitality, they are good exemple of the free Connaught spirit that I can feel pulsating in my heart, mind and body.

[Arias]

My spirit name is a double-name. Like a proper name and a surname, but they're both one name. ( make sense? ) Arias is the second part.

[Astyria]

The name i use on here, Astyria, is actually a made-up name that I regularily use in games.  Yea, games... I'm 35, but what can I say.  Think I play them (mmorpgs) since they give me an outlet to be female...of sorts.

My real name is Michael.

I am still searching for my feminine name, which I may actually legally change to be my real name...I am thinking that i would like to keep my initials, and i dont want to "disappoint" my mother too much (and my wife loves my name)...so I'm thinking of a variation on Michael that could be taken either way.  I'm thinking of Michele.

I think I could pull that off.

But i digress =p.

Astyria.

[Brittany]

I discovered my name when, way too many years ago, I tricked my mom into telling me what I'd have been named had I been born correctly--i.e., female. She didn't decide on a middle name for me, so I'm stuck with just "Brittany" until I figure something out.

As an aside, I also play MMORPGs for that very reason--it lets me be myself, at least in a virtual environment. Usually in those, I use Keeria, a name I made up for them (most people shorten it to Kee).

[tony_d]

I'm new here but I've always like the name tony....always seen me as a guy with that name....as far as legally I haven't changed it yet
It is a real name.... the name for my male side

[Sharon S L]

I use my real name as I have legal changed it to Sharon. If I had done this last year I would have choosen using My Female Name as I didn't Legal change my name until then end of January

[Lucy]

I dont know why I choose this name, it just fitted who I am, a little bit shy and saucey

[BeverlyAnn]

Beverly would have been the name of the first girl born in my family so I adopted that.  Ann is from the name of a person very important to me.

Bev

[Debbie_Anne]

Debbie Anne is my real name, and one I have been using online since 2003.  As I have said before elsewhere, Deborah Anne is the name my mother would have given me had I been born a girl, and after she passed away in 2003, I decided to use it when I transitioned to honor her memory.  Deborah Anne became my legal name in 2006.
