Here are 26 examples.
Do you know the meaning of your female name?
What? You don't have a female name yet? It's not very charming if you appear en femme and, when someone asks your name, you say Peter, Richard or John. Crossdressing is more than just wearing clothes, it's incorporating a feminine identity, and that involves having a good feminine name.
It is possible to identify and like a name without even knowing its meaning, but we will still help you. Here we suggest 26 names, one for each letter of the alphabet, for you to give being to the woman who lives within you!

Marie Claire (or Clear, illustrious and enlightened woman of the sea)
Áine (pronounced "awn-ya") is an Irish goddess of summer, love, wealth, sovereignty, and fertility.
Associated with: The sun, midsummer, animals, and agriculture
Symbolism: A radiant queen, beloved for her beauty and benevolence
The name means "radiance"
Áine is often depicted as a radiant queen, and is sometimes represented by a red mare.
As you can see, I decided on my name long before I started CDing, it encompasses everything I want to radiate as a women.
Thank you for posing these questions, Marie Claire, because I just found out that I was wrong about mine.
First of all, my recollection was that Harry was just a familiar form of Harold. It isn't. They have two separate origins. You see, my mother's father was named Harold, so I now think that her parents named my mother Harriette thinking that the names were related. If so, then they were wrong, too. I never got a chance to ask anyone about this while any of them were alive, not even about my own real name.
However, Harry and Harriette are directly related and have the exact same meaning behind them. Harriette is just the French female variant.
The name Harriette is a feminine name of French and German origin that means "home ruler":
Origin
The name comes from the Old German name Heimiric, which is derived from the words heim meaning "home" and ric meaning "power, ruler".
Variations
Harriette is a variant of the name Harriet, which can be lengthened to Harrietta or Henriette.
Nicknames
Popular nicknames for Harriet or Harriett include Hallie, Hattie, Hetty, Hennie, Harolda, Harry, Harri, and Etta or Ettie.
My father used to call my mother Harri all of the time. I chose to use her name for three reasons. To honour her, of course, and it is a rare name nowadays, so it should stand out. The 3rd reason was that I used to be hairy. Used to be, not so much any more.
ill give my own meaning. positive, leader, head strong, sexy and confident, not afraid to go anywhere other cd won't go. friendly and gets along with others. head turner, spontaneous, sharp & dress to be noticed, dont live life through a camera, free spirit, dependable, honest,
Leonara —- feminine name of Greek and Arabic origin that means "light" or "compassion". It's a variation of the name Leonora , Eleanor, and has roots in Italian and English cultures. In the 19th century, it was a popular name in Western countries, I chose Leonara as a form of my middle name .. and as my name means compassion for my feminine persona …
My femme name is Ashlyn 🙂! It means dream or vision in Irish! It also means graceful and charming which describes me perfectly!! Ashlyn is a blissful feminine name ❤️
Angela, Greek and Latin roots. Deriving from the Greek word 'Angelos' or Angel.
I once asked my mother what would she have named me if I was born a girl and that's how my name was chosen.
The real meaning of my name is my identity, the person I now am.
Googling Joanna, apparently it means ‘God is gracious’. Oh dear; I am an atheist!
I arrived at Joanna by simply feminising my actual name.
Joanna 💕
The name Fiona originated in Scotland and means "fair".
Hello Sea-originating Illustrious and Enlightened Woman!
According to ancient CDH (which is the CDH before the changes that wiped out my likes and thanks) Autumn Valiant meant excessive liker of posts. 😉
edit: I was so busy trying to be cute I forgot the story..... Before joining CDH, I read a lot of articles, posts, and profiles without commenting or anything. I found out I "needed" a name here when I went to join. I chose the last name first since joining CDH was a bit scary and so was the though of one day sharing this with my wife. (still haven't done that yet). I picked Valiant from a search of synonyms for brave. Then I needed to find a first name so I went to a site for baby names. I didn't get far through the girl names before the name Autumn seemed to jump off the screen and grab me.
Hugs,
Fall Bravey
Hi
My name honestly I choose because it is similar to my real name, but searching on the web I found that Odeth came from Odette, a french variant of Oda and these name in Germanic languages means Prosperity...
However in Hebrew Odeth means "God 's Dwell"
I love my name!!!
The name Jackie was chosen/given to me by my late female partner, we always kept me dressing quite and behind door's, i was always in male clothes when we was out the house, it became an idea to have and use a female name for when we went shopping, she would ask "do you think, or i think Jackie would like this" i still use the name...
Cerys... Attractive, husky, funny, Welsh, and welsh speaker..... Cerys Matthews (Catatonia)
When thinking of a name, I wanted one that no one I knew or was related to had the same name. This proved difficult. I also wanted a welsh name ideally.... Cerys was the obvious choice. I adore Cerys Matthews. Google her singing Calon Lan on her album called Tîr (Earth). A traditional welsh song. Cerys sings it so pure and clear. It's stunning.
Cerys
Great question!
While I did like Rachel as a name, I went with the more French version.
It's nothing like my boi name and distinctly feminine.
It, apparently, also means "ewe"
Great topic! Thanks for sharing it. I used to go by Ashleigh, but I found that Emily seemed more suited to who I was. I don’t know the meaning of it, but would be curious to find out. The middle name I use is Dawn. That represents to me a new beginning.
