A credit card for my altera ego

[jazzie]

When I go out as Michayla, or want to buy something online as her, I'd like to have a credit card with her name on it. However, my CC issuer won't make a card for an alias.
So, what is a girl to do?

Is there some financial institution that will do this? Note that I live in the US.

**UPDATE -- 6 Jan 12**
After researching 'Michayla', I decided that it would be wise to change my name.

In my dual role days I applied for an authorised user card in my female name.  Card issuer never asked any questions. 

I live in the UK.

I already had a card with one company, I asked for a second card to be added for  Sarah.  They did it with no questions.

Take it from someone who works in the banking biz, this is problematic if you are in the USA, or, if not, ever intend to use said alter-ego card there.

As a part of the Patriot Act and various 'know your customer' regulations, getting a credit card in an alternate name may not be possible or open you to intense scrutiny that will result in a denial as well as potential closure of the existing account. We don't like it when people do things like this 

If your femme name has the same first initial as your boy name, try that

I went that route for awhile. You add a card to the account and the primary card holder is still responsible for the whole account.
Eventually though some transaction will require ID, which makes the whole exercise pointless.

It took me a long time to realize that as time went on and the name was creeping into banking or other documents,I just needed to legally change my name and get it over with.

I am MtF and I am yet to legally change my name.

I applied for a credit card using my female name and have had no problems whatsoever.

He applied for a second card for Kimberly. Best part is that he is responsible for the payments as the primary card holder. She doesnt abuse her privilege though.

Your alias/femme name will be on your credit report! Just saying!

Maybe you ould pay for a business name, call it  Michayla Dentovy.Then the name on the card would be the same. sign it any way you want on the back.
