I love for you to tell about the name that you us here at Susans.
Is it special to you and why or why not?
For me I choose a name that is a combination of two of may favorite GG's to use here at Susan's. One is my sister her name is Jill and we called her Jillie when she was young. We have alway been close. My wife's middle name is Ann wife. So I'm am Jillieann. I love beening called by my online name. Although I do have another name for my female side that I use when not on the internet.
:)
Jillieann
My name is my female name. I rarely use the name I was given at birth on the internet. I don't see a point... since I am a female.
I gave me female side the name of Alice.
A simple process from Alan -> Al -> Alice.
I like it when people call me Al.
Alice
Hello Everyone:
I use the name tinkerbell, but of course that isn't my real name. My real name is ...I'd rather not say...but you can call me Tink as a nickname. ;D
tinkerbell :icon_chick:
When I signed up, I simply entered my usual internet handle without really thinking about it. But a lot of people here are calling me by my chosen name now, and that's nice too. :)
It's my real name. :)

Hello Jillieann.
I use my real (legal) name (Not always a prudent thing to do on the net). It's special to me simply because I chose it. There are no hidden meanings behind it, and I didn't choose it because it contains the names of people who I admire. For some reason I've always liked Stephanie so that's the name I went with. It's my name and I like it :) :)
Steph
It's a nickname given to me a few years back by my very first "REAL" boyfriend..that I let Associate's call me by and its short for
Chynna Doll
Chynna White (you may have seen me sign a post with) is just a fictious name I like
My real name is
SINIAYA
pronounced: Sin - eye - ya
Chynna
I go by Rafe, which is a nickname for the name I chose for myself, Rafael. As with Dennis, this is my real name... just because it's not on my birth certificate doesn't mean it isn't my name. Catholics get a new name at confirmation... I got my new one at transformation. 8)
Rafe
I think by "real name" she meant your legal name.
Melissa
"Chaunte" is a double morph of my legal name. It's double because the original spelling was taken by morphing my name into the English spelling, and then it morphing it again into French.
Chaunte means a female singer, which is what I am.
Chaunte Marie
This is the name that is on my drivers license and credit cards, so it better be my real name.

I'm one up on all of you.
I'm using the name of my Dog!
Her name is Cindianna Jones.
A few on the board know my name and it won't be hard for anyone to follow breadcrumbs from my book.
I'm not ashamed of who I am. But I do have a life free from the dragon now. I sure wouldn't want to invite him home for dinner ;)
Cindi
LMAO!!!
Now, I have to ask, are you an archeologist as well?
Chaunte
"Kate" is the most similar to my male name that I can think of. It also allows me to keep my initials, and I can write it fairly well.
Plus, I kinda have crushes on Kate Beckinsale (as the Underworld vamp) and Cate Blanchett (especially as Galadriel).
And strangely, I kinda like that it's not particularly feminine or soft sounding. Yea, I know, weird thing for a m2f to say...
I'm known as HELEN here and at my support group. But, as I've posted before, it doesn't feel right so if I ever get to changing my name it'll be different.
My new middle name, Christine, I'll keep.
Holly? Hannah?? Hillary??? Hortense???? Hester????? Hildegard?????? (OK, now I'm kidding) ;D
Until then, yours truly,
helen
good idea for a poll jilleann!!
my screen name is wolfie because i'm a total game nerd and that's part of my gamer tag when i'm playing xboxlive ("battle wolfie"). it originated when i was 13 and wanted to have a name to enter on the screen that wasn't my legal name and that was masculine, so i chose "wolverine" (who's more masculine than wolverine from the x-men!?... other than the whole wearing yellow spandex thing). It then slowly morphed into battle wolfie and then just wolfie. *shrugs* i blame it on hours infront of a tv screen with a controller glued to my palms.
tino is the short form of "acentino" which was my papa's (grandpas) name. my grandma said i should take it. i miss him, we got along really well, he passed 5 years ago, feels like yesterday.

Chaunte, no, I am not an archeologist. But I love the field of study. I watch every program I can pick up about it. Why, does it show? ;)
I'm sorry. It simply seemed too much of a coincidence I couldn't let slip by. Indianna Jones. Cindianna Jones. Both named after their dog. Archeology was the next logical question. :)
Chaunte
Since my parents named me "Josh", I simply looked for the next closest thing. Jocelyn. My MtF name was chosen to make it easy for my friends to remember. If they accidently called me by the wrong name in public while I was dressed up, they could almost seemlessly slide into the right name. Then, of course, I realized it's a nice name and I became attached to it.
Little Lynn is common alias I use online based on what a friend called me once. I go to a couple forums under that name, although I'm a GG as far as they're concerned on any other forum.
I answered FtM, the name from my male side, but it is also my legal name now.
Marco
I chose made-up name because obviously my God-given name is not Marco's Girl, but you all know me as Pam too. That's real...I was born Pamela Jo-Ann Yelton.
;D ;D

My given name was Frank, I started wearing my sisters clothes at age 7 so they just started calling me Frances, I never really thought I was a Frances. My wife and me opened up a web site and she ask google for female names that would pertain to our site and it came up with several, but talynn was one of them and i liked Lynn so thats how i came about being Lynn.
My MTF name is Giovanna, I took this name because my GF usually named Giovanni. I don´t know the reason, but i really like
My name here at susan's is the name I have always felt is appropriate for me, not my legal name yet, (crosses fingers, hopefully someday). Not because of anyone or anything like that, but it is who I AM, and that is what counts most. After I started letting people know, I found out that it was also like my great grandmother's name. Coincidence or something more??
My name here at Susan's is the name that would have been given to me by my parents if I were born female. Its the name I identify mostly with my femme side and I feel most comfortable with, since I am of Irish decent. Its not my legal name yet, but someday it may be. Leigh would have been my middle name and I like it too. :)
Shannon Leigh
My Real MtF name is akin to the one I use here but not quite :)
Lynner (say it aloud) has many meanings of which many describe me. Woulda been just Lynn here but at the time (The old forum) Lynn had allready been taken LoL
Susan has been a long time favorite name of mine. It took a long time to work through the list of neat girl names, not because there aren't so many choices, because there are so many wonderful ones. Susan is mine, not in recognition of anyone. The middle name actually may be temporary, because when I needed more than Susan for my I.D. I grabbed Kay from my list. Short, sweet and petite (no, wait, that's The Adamms Family). Anyway, my third grade teacher was Elizabeth and she was my favorite, and I may yet adopt it for my middle name.
Susan K
lolli as you can guess is not my real name but its a nickname all that know me call me.

We used to have this stuffed lamb named Lolly when I was little. I loved playing with it. Well, I better quit lollygagging around on Susans and get back to my work. ;) By the way, I seriously do like the name a lot.
Melissa
I choose to use my real name as it was given to me. This will change as I have been exploring ways to feminize my name. How about this, " Owena" I looked up on the internet on possible feminine names for myself and came up with this one. A feminized version of Owen wich is a welsh name meaning ' well born' . I will look into other more common names as well.
Owen
love being female
This is the name I'm gonna legally change mine to. I chose it because I like it, I feel like it fits me, and it's the name of a character I'm really fond of from a TV show.
well when I posted my response to this thread before, I was disregarding the fact that I might want to keep a family name in there somewhere... and I have put this on another thread, but nonetheless...
so... I will be changing my name as soon as I have the ability to do so.
Rafael Jordan Dean ________.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that family name thing, too. I'm not sure about that, myself. Might just go with a completely new last name.
Also... cute puppy!
Thank you! and her name, by the way, is Blue.

Okay, bro, we all know why the "Dean" part, but what is the Jordan part?
Is it a family name?

She is now 4 years old andwasmy constant companion during transition and has been to Japan, Thailand with me until we arrived in her current home.
Her full name is "Buffy the Mouse Slayer" and she had a Brother "Willow" who unfortunately was killed by a car in the UK.

When I originally transitioned in 1993, I tried various female names that started with S, the first letter of my name at birth. Sally Ann, Sabrina... none of them quite fit and so I made up the name Zythyra. I like that it doesn't have a recognized gender attached. That's the name I use here

It reminds me of Zathura (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0406375/), the movie.
Melissa
Never heard of that movie before... Since I play music, people often think that the name is related to zither, an instrument that I don't play.
zythyra
Obviouslly my MtoF name with a twist I actually go by Cindy but the SS is for Short Skirts and the Sin part just fits my personality while enfem >:D
I created my female name in the same way my parents choose my name by birth and in the same manner my sister got hers by birth.
That is why I call my self Mariska and it is the name I use in real life.
Greatings to you all, Mariska
I chose my name, Laurie, because it sounds like my birth name, Larry. I almost chose Lauren, but it sounded a little stand-offish, and not as friendly as Laurie. The O is from my last name.
......Laurie
Its a little bit of both a name I made up and the name of my female side...
My Mother told me once that I would have been named Vanessa if I was born a girl....
And so here I am!
I always thought it was very cool to know that.... :)
-Nessa
The name that I use here is the name that I gave my feminine side when I was in my teens--so I have used this name for myself for almost 50 years. I never told anyone else about my femme name until I started surfing the net about a decade ago.
My femme name is the feminine version of my middle name (which I never use, except as an initial). It is also the name of the first girl that I had a crush on in gradeschool. It is not a very common name but I like it because it is French and it sounds pretty.
When I am in an androgynous mood I will refer to myself as Lou.
Quote from: Vanessa V. on October 13, 2006, 03:18:06 AMMy Mother told me once that I would have been named Vanessa if I was born a girl....
My parents had a name picked out for me in case had I been born a girl, but they've forgotten now what it was. :( Otherwise I would have gone with that.
(I know for sure that it's not the same name I did end up choosing.)
its real just switch the sylabol at the end. there is a more formal version that Rick-Ricki-ricky-break off from.
But I love the Name Rachel, i dunno maybe it was from watching friends?
Jennifer anniston is oo cool in my opinion she's cute / pretty built nice but not overly done!
Mine goes back to grade school when I had a classmate named Lacey who I always admired. For some reason she struck me as being a true girl's girl and I was drawn to that. It didn't seem right to copy hers directly so I went with Satin when I joined my first forum a year or so ago. It's fluffy, but to me entirely feminine.

Hi Everyone,
Genevieve is a French name I fell in love with. I seem to like the letter G. *giggles*
My real name when I get there is going to be:
Gwyneth Delilah
Gwyneth is from the same origins, both in locality and time, as my male name. I like my male name but it does not fit the true me.
Delilah is just pretty. :)
I'm going to keep my given surname.
Take care All,
Genevieve
Quote from: Genevieve on October 19, 2006, 09:42:46 AM
Delilah is just pretty. :)
Yes, I love the name Delilah. :)
Mine is a middle name/nickname I was considering, though I'm leaning more traditional now with William Matthias. My given name, Winona, is pretty unique and ethnic, but I kind of got tired of people asking about it and wanted something normal and masculine with the same initials.
Elish is a short from the name Elishia, which comes from the album title of one of my favorite bands - Opthalamia. It is an internet nick I use. My real name is Alice.

i chose made-up name... but that was the best category i could fit it into.
But it's not really made up. It comes from the word Wishfire which is an album name from my favourite band, Cruxshadows.
On that album is a spoken track called "Before the Fire" and it goes like this:
"I have made life and experience from the imaginations of youth
I have slept a million nights below the darkness of silence
I am the incarnation of your delusions,
or your insights...
I am the voice of warning
I am the thread which ties life to reality
I am your guardian
I am the wishfire..."
Those lyrics speak the very truth behind my life. It is who i am, what i feel. The very courage lies in those words that get me from day to day, the strength and beleif. So when i started using the internet, this was my chosen netname. After chatting for a while on a particular forum, i got nicknamed Wishy, which has stuck with me.
Although I don't spell it the way it is on my birth certificate, it is my real name none the less and if I had two birth certificates, I'm sure Mia would be on the other one.
-Us
Actually it's pretty simple. There have been a few Julies in my life. I've liked them all. I've always liked the name. Jim and Julie start with the same initial. Marie is a family middle name that has been carried on for centuries. And the Julies I have known have all been lovely people, both inside and out. I hope I can live up to the image.
Julie Marie Moriarty
PS: My last name is real. We come from County Kerry in Ireland. The place is loaded with transsexuals. Did you see "Waking Ned Devine"? (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.google.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3Anh6SlnX6JcVftM%3Awww.soundtrackcollector.com%2Fimages%2Fcd%2Flarge%2FWaking_Ned_Devine_Decca_2894609392.jpg&hash=fe00953f3666f3d584522e9ba4c61c25210e0cfa)
Just kidding ... Julie
Interestingly, the name my parents were originally going to give me was a J name. My grandparents told them "you can't name your kid that!" So it's probably good that I picked the one I did.
I've considered changing my screen name to include my real name but haven't decided for sure yet. On one hand, it'd be more personal, but on the other, it kind of shows off my geekyness having an upside down username. :D
Oh umop ap!sdn, I didn't see that till you pointed it out. How clever. I'm usually more observant and would have picked up on that. Although a lot of times I'll see liscense plates that have some sort of play on words or letters that I don't always recognize.
Cool though.
-Us
Hmph.. to early in the am for me to try and do that in my head..
I also would of liked or sometimes think about the nicknames or abbreviated names..
JJ, RJ, TJ, BJ, CJ, MJ (Julie Marie you could be MJ just reverse your name! :-*),
JP, GG, JB, JC (I like JC a lot) JR, JV, JW, PJ, ..
Anyway i like the abbreviated names, I have a nephew with one..
Yawn.. Need coffee to early..

"<a href="http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/characters/tinker/tinker.html">Tinker</a>" perhaps (see link) but definately NOT "Tinks" as I noticed somebody recently alluded ;D .
:icon_redface: she said it was ok ;D
You got me thinking maybe just to P-her off I'll ask my mom that too!
the looks from her are priceless and do not cost a penny!
My user name is Kisa, she is one of my favorite manga characters and I can really relate to her. My real name is Jaci but I wish I could change it.
Borrowed wasn't an option...My Name I borrowed from an anime character in Neon Genesis Evangelion she was a artificially created and was murdered at a very young age and cloned(a lot) each time with her mind transfered into the new body and as such she was living knowing something was not right with her since she carried the memory of her own death and while Thankfully that is something that I do not have myself as that would be more than I could handle. She was always distant with most people but Confided herself with shinji's Father since he saved her during a test on EVA-00. Myself I love the name I am obsessed with Japaneese culture and one of my major goals is to soem day visit Japan. If you Haven't Seen NGE you should it is very well written even in English . Other than that I like the name Rei Ayanami it suits me somewhat if you know the char and if by chance you ever meet me in real life.
Rei
Madison Anne
Oddly enough I came up with Madison AFTER my last transition attempt, yeah I know should have been huge clue. As for my middle name, I'm sure my mother is going to kill me since its the family middle name for all the females.
what about Tara, you do not see or hear that name much?
My sis named her kid alexis and honestly (is that a millinium or whatever era 13 year olds are) it is over used and abused! Gawd.. add insult to injury and she named her son years later alex....
Funny enough that is a gender neutral name huh?????
is there a post anywhere where we were asked to list gender neutral names like Alex-Andy-Renee-Adrian-etc...
I like Adrian too!
R
I picked Brady for my male side simply because I like the name. I was considering Landon for a while and having my middle name be Brady, but Brady suits my personality. Once I start the transition, I will get it legally changed.
I'm using my chosen male name. I'm going to get my name changed legally to Yorick Oliver B_______ as soon as I can (which could be a while T_T).
I picked Yorick because: It's neither common nor weird sounding, I don't know any other guys with Y names, and it's related to the name George, which is a family name and the masculine form of my birth name.
I'm making Oliver my middle name because it's also a family name and because I like it. I would have made this my first or middle name anyway.
I also like this name because the initials spell "boy" when reversed.
"Yob" may have a negative meanings attached to it but I don't mind. It's not like most of the people I come across will even notice, unless I move to the UK.

My name is taken from the poem "The Children of the Night", the concluding stanza of which is my signature.
My name here at Susan's place comes from a good friend of mine's nickname for me. My two best friends are married to each other, and their first child couldnt pronounce my name when he was first starting to talk. It begins with the letter 'd' so he just called me D. The mother started calling me D sort of as a joke, but now several years later the whole famliy still calls me D. So when I came up with my female name, it came naturally. Dee :)
So my name is an unexpected gift from one of my best friends.

Oh, I see. Is it a country song? It's been about that long since I've endured listening to C&W music. :laugh: But I'm reminded of that song Elvira from the early '80s, which is actually a song I like.

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 is my real name... ;D
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.
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
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. :P
my name is helen i use swindon lady as i come from swindon in the uk and i am a lady,birth certificate now says so as does all papers needed including my passport i love being who i am ie helen
I recently changed the name I use here because it is more female name.
Linda, from a former friend, Ann, one of my cousins. Linda Ann.
Has a nice flow to it and I like it.
Linda Ann
Love being female :angel:

I like it too. It is a very unique name. I'd never heard it before. :)
Well, my name is Tinkerbell, and here is my story. (http://www.fairiesworld.com/famous-fairies/tinkerbell.shtml) ;D
tinkerbell :icon_chick:
well Timothy became Tim,and everone called me Kim. So I made it Kimberly,and I made kimmie my online name
:) :) :) :D :D :) :)
love Kim
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.
L L & R
Maebh
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.
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.
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).
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
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
I dont know why I choose this name, it just fitted who I am, a little bit shy and saucey
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 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.
ftm
i'm having my name changed to Azmaria now.
I dont really use my name on sussan,
but when I do its my real name.
Just wondering what is a "female side" and a "male side"?

Just wondering what is a "female side" and a "male side"?
The fe/male side options might be aimed at the cross-dresser, bigender, androgyne, and non-binary gendered folks here at Susan's. Originally, I identified as androgyne and my "female side" was named Donna Alvote (Italian for "lady at times").
Since I'm out everywhere else in my lift, I recently changed my display name to my real name: Connie Anne.
It's not my legal name yet, but it is my real name.
When I was ten or eleven I was haveing a very serious conversation with Gretchen about marriage and haveing children. Gretchen did not want kids or to be married, but I wanted both. By the end of this short very serious ten year old conversation I not only wanted Gretchen's name but I wanted to be her too. Well I got her name and with the aid of modern science I got few other things too, Thanks Gretchen.
Oddly was not born as Pica Pica... I took it on a whim when I joined the site because of the m->-bleeped-<-ie rhyme.
Clearly my name isn't really The Manic Bard, it's Link. But I picked The Manic Bard because it's the name I wanted to use as my stagename for when I do circus stuff. But I haven't done any of that in months.
My name is Padmavyuha (I was ordained as a Buddhist 15 years ago) and means 'an array of lotuses' (and rhymes with panther-view-her). And it's gender-neutral, and it's my legal name, and I want to keep it. I often spare people the last 2 syllables until we know each other well ;D.
I'm been confused recently, though, because last summer, during a singing camp, I met the little girl in me who never had a voice (or a name) - I told her she could choose a name, and a few days later, she told me her name is Na'ama. This is a Hebrew name, meaning 'pleasant, gracious, lovely'.
It's not my name, it's hers - the girl who got kept in a coma to protect her from the abuse the boy was getting. So I'm not taking this as my name as a woman, but it's still very meaningful to me. If I ever decide to stop being Padmavyuha, I will become Na'ama, I suspect. But I'm very happy to be Padmavyuha.
At yafah, Na'ama xx
I said "(MTF) the name of my female side" since I love the name April and I use it on lots of the websites that I join. However I might end up using Ashley when the time comes to change my name, it just sounds better with my full name and it's easier for me to pronounce :laugh:
It's the middle name I've chosen. Not legal yet.
My name is a nickname I made up myself.
About 10 years ago I came up with this name and I have been using it all around the internet ever since. :)
I voted that my screen name is my masculine side. I'm hoping it sounds a little androgynous.
When i went to choose a name, I looked at names that were being used to name girls in the year of my birth (1969). I wanted mine to be appropriate for my age. Aubrey was still a newer name for girls then, so it was a little unusual. (It's origins are male, and there are still men named Aubrey today.... go figure). And it flows with my last name. So I kept going on with it in my head, and it made sense and felt right....
I was not going to have a middle name, but when i was filling out the name change paperwork, I suddenly thought of my mom, who is still having some problem with this. (Still a lot of guilt, still not really wanting to lose her son, but still loves me very much). So I called her up and asked her if it would be ok to take her name as my middle name, as an homage to her. She was very touched and cried a little (happy, not sad). So suddenly, I was Aubrey Patricia. :)
I chose the FtM option, but that's because there wasn't a real one for me. I asked my friends for an androgynous first name and my friend came up with "Lynn" and I fell for it. The middle name was always going to be Gabriel because I've always felt drawn to it. The name "Lynn Gabriel" seems a nice androgynous name so I use it on this forum.
It's part of my FtM name. I've started going by Jayden Tyler or Jayden "Kyle" (O.O I might have just given something away) so I shortened it for my user name.
Morty, which is short for Mortimer, is a name I've used most of my life. It started off as a bit fo a silly joke... I am apprenticing as a mortician, and mortuary sciences are something I've been interesting in most of my life... people would call me 'Mort', which essentially means death in french, to my knowledge.
I like the sound of the name Mortimer, so I've just used it.
My family is Doukhobor Russian, and my actual name is strange and quite a mouthful. (It's Aijia.) Though that name is uni-sex, I still rather dislike it, and it sounds too feminine to me.
Some people still call me by that name, though, but mostly close friends and family.

So, are you Canadian by birth?
Quote from: Jamie D on May 09, 2012, 02:07:31 AM

Yes, I am~
Why do you ask?
My butt was not very creative.
My name is Jayden R******
So I made it short. JayR :D
It's also a nickname. Lots of friends call me J-R.
Its my real, legal name, but I'm registered here under my middle name which is Renee.
Marion is a name I've chosen for online while I transition. It's based on a female persona I developed when younger (and I thought I had to 'pretend' to be a girl) named Mary.
A friend of mine presented me with a list of names he thought worked for me, and it was on there, so I figured it must actually work for me, if we both thought of it.
James is my real name, most friends call me Jim, so I just decided to go by what I thought is the female version being Jamie.
My dad's former best friend described me as "walking on the edge of the way the world is supposed to be." I don't know what he meant exactly, but I really like him and felt he really got me (for lack of a better phrase). So a made up name?

And here I thought you got it from FFIV, from this guy: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Edge_Geraldine (http://"http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Edge_Geraldine") (that's a compliment, btw)
I just really like "voices of the wind"
It is my internet nickname which is a combination of a derivative of my middle name and the fact that I have really always been a girl.
I've been using Tossu-sama as my internet name ever since 2006 and it kinda stuck. :P Sometimes it's in the form TossuSama because some sites don't allow hyphens in nicknames.
Sometimes I use LordLauri (Tumblr, for example) which contains my name.
Donna is my real name which I chose because it sounds very similar to my original name and it was thus far easier for people to get used to at least this aspect of the changes I have gone through.
Donna Elivira is just because I love opera. For those who are curious, here is one of the best known arias from Don Giovanni, sung by my namesake (if impatient go directly to 2min 14sec) : Joyce DiDonato as Donna Elvira - Mi tradi quell'alma ingrata - BETTER QUALITY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tggGYJ9xh68#)....
Bises
Donna
Mine is made up obviously an internet handle, I am Vegan so Vegie and 271 is the first 3 digits of e an engineering constant (I am a mathematician)
It's the name I want to be my legal name. I guess the name of my male side.
Corwynn is my name whenever i can decide what my name is. I chose it within a few days of coming out, and those who really know me know wynn. I fully intend to make it official as soon as i can afford a name change.
I used the initials of what will evetually be my legal name.
My name here is Sentience, and that was by mistake. I thought it would be my password or something administrative. (I am actually fascinated by the concept of "sentience"). All my life I pondered what female name I would select. Christine was a name that I never really liked, so when I eventually needed a name to tell my friends..............I chose Christine! Anyway after a couple of years I thought, no no no, so now it's Molly and it just feels right. It's also my legal team because in Scotland (unlike England where deed poll is required) you can just change your name and that's it. Ta Dah! (So long as it is not for fraudulent purposes).
My legal name is already female, so I'm kind of lucky. I actually have used a male variant of it for most of my life. If I was to change it though I'd probably geek out and do something like Samus because she's my favorite heroine figure and it would hold a lot of meaning to me. I just pretend Other M didn't happen.
As for Phoenix26. I chose it because of the whole "rising from the ashes" thing and because I like X-Men and relate with what the series symbolizes in terms of being TG.
I'm guilty of stealing my username from someone else. This happened years ago; possibly 7 years now. Ever since then I always try 'SaveMeJeebus' first as a username and I usually get it.
I choose White Rabbit from a Jefferson Airplane song and will most likely use Alice as my female name because of the journey I have just started.
"Jane" comes from a VERY old nickname, Calamity Jane, that I earned as a teen because I was a crack shot and out-shot all the boys.
Northern is because I am north of the 49th and because "Jane" wasn't available by itself

Oh, I like the Alice in Wonderland reference. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of my favorite books. That really is a great analogy. :)
Down the rabbit hole!
Yeah it seemed representative of the journey I am looking at ahead. Otherwise I might have gone with Julie which does have a special meaning to me. 2 tattoos I am thinking of getting are a white rabbit and the words "with life comes hope"
I gave me female side the name Andrea
I named myself Janet as I liked the name.
Later after naming myself months later, I looked at the letters in Janet and found 3 of them are the same as my male name, Wayne
Mine is what my Mom said she would have called me. Two points.. I LOVE the name, and she won't accept me, so it's a jab at her... I really like it, but might shop for another sometime..

i really like the idea that your parents or your mom have to choose your name. my name, svenja, was also a wish of my mom and
in the same way, the fem version of "sven" - my old boyish name i had to grow up with :D
so it was kind of a logical consequence in both ways ... :)
It was how I came out to mom.. I told her..
Me: "I know this is going to be very hard to ask, but.. Mom, if I was born a girl, what would my name have been?"
Mom: "Well, I always wanted to call you Paula Christine, but your father said, "no, the only Christine he knew was Christine Jorgensen and no kid of mine was going to be named after a sex change person!"
"Perfect", I said... "Figures I would have been named after a transgendered woman.. because, I am one"
Because Jills are awesome and every path I took in my name search early on led to Jill. I know it's boring and plain, but trust me, I am neither. And yes, it will be my legal name next month.
I am *cue ominous music* The Most Interesting Woman in the World... LOL
Now where the hell is Jack? He will be getting in on a threesome one day.
Note to self: buy large hot tub.
*giggles*. Jilly, you made me laugh, because, I actually heard the ominous music! ;)
My name, Evelyn Marie, is currently the name of my male side, though I wanted to keep a level of androgyny. I don't like my birth name it's so... not right. I'm trying out names right now and so mine's liable to change.
Kiwi it's just a nickname of course :)
I decided to not register with the male name I use in life (I'm FtM) because it's a male name in Italy but female in all other countries. I didn't want to be misgendered ;) I guess the english translation of it would be Andrew.
Well Jess is sort of a nickname for my male name I just added an "ica" to it and voila, me.
The username on here is how I feel about my transition and what it is doing for me. My birth name is Michael, but the name I go my now is Mariah. I have always liked that name.
My username is my nom de femme of sorts. I used to go by Vicki, but then went through a period where I like Nikki better. OK, so my femme side has multiple-personality disorder. :P
I was watching Strawberry Panic like the same week I signed up for Susans, Hikari is a character in that show.
Now, that being said, I am not really sure why I don't use my chosen name. It made sense back when I was hiding my face, city, age, etc but now it makes alot less sense, people really wouldn't have much trouble figuring out who I am if they wanted to.
My username is charr lee. I use this user name in various forums.
My birth name is Carla, and my chosen name Carlin, but people call me Charlie
