<p class="MsoNormal">As we all know, names are important. Many of us have struggled with choosing a feminine name; I certainly have. Meredith is part of my birth name, and although I rarely use it, is very much a part of me and I really like the name and it goes back a long way in my family. Although current usage seems to be Meredith as a feminine name, it is Welsh for ‘lord’ or ‘great lord’ and traditionally was a boy’s name, as it has been in my family. But upon long reflection I realize that it is part of my male persona. I have never really found a feminine name that struck me as right. I added the ‘Michelle’ to Meredith to reach a sort of compromise, but it has never felt right. Recently, I ran across the name Blakeney and it just really struck me and has continued to grow on me. So, as part of my journey, Meredith is and will always remain an important part of me, but my feminine self is Blakeney, a slender, athletic and attractive middle aged woman.</p>
Go for it girl...........use whatever name you like....it is part of the package.
Lady Veronica
i have my fem name and that's Lucinda that was a girl that i knew that was in my school and loved down the street from me in Tonawanda n.y. she was pretty and always wanted to date her, actually she was my date for my graduation party but we never went out on a date and become more of a friend. we moved away and i think she did too so i am using Lucinda as my fem name to remember my first date
Mine I just made up one day when I was a teen, stuck with it since then.
There is nothing wrong with changing your fem name to something more suitable or a name you just like better.
When I first began dressing fully fem at 18 I chose the name Betty Daniels. It was the first and last name of 2 girls I thought were pure perfection. I was dressed fully fem at a college Halloween party. I got asked what my name was for a name tag. That's the first name that came to mind.
After a few more parties where I always wore nice pantyhose with real short dresses or skirts, a few girls teased me about always wearing nice pantyhose, my name should be Panty Hose. They put that on a name tag and had me wear it. Then another thought Panty is not really a name so they called me Patty. Patty Pantyhose. That didn't fit on a name tag too well so it got shortened to Patty Phose.
When I began dressing again about 6 years ago and was asked for a name, that is the first name I thought of.

I like the name Lucinda as well. I became familiar with the name from discovering a great singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams. If I was born with a masculine name, I would have considered changing it Lucinda.
However, I was born with a unisex name that was spelled in a feminine way. Paired with the last name I was born with, it sounds like a name that a drag queen or a transwoman would change it to. So, why would I change it? My journey has always been about being true to myself. Nothing makes that statement stronger than keeping my birth name and being feminine.
That being said, I completely understand why transwomen do change their names and fully support it. This is just one thing that makes my experience a little different than most.
