Names are very personal, and what sounds great to me might sound terrible to someone else.  Names can also carry great meaning or history or familial ties.  But I see nothing wrong with your choice, hon.  It seems fine, and if you're happy with it, go for it.   :thumbsup:

I have to agree with Carolyn's assessment.  When you say or hear the name, if it sounds like you then go for it!

Roberta Susan,

   A name is certainly personal but oddly at the same time we don't have a choice with our first name.  We are given that name and learn to live with it.  Whatever you choose will become you over time.  At first your head may not turn when your name is mentioned but you will in time.  Enjoy your choice.  Have others say it and maybe even try it out here for a bit.

I did that with my name before making the legal change.

 

Hugs,

I haven't legally changed mine yet, but I did what Charlize is suggesting. It just sounded right to me when it came to me, and I have been using it...getting it to where it doesn't squeek going around a corner..lol.

My name was legally changed not long ago and I'm beyond happy with mine. I would also suggest writing names down and see how they feel. My name was something I've known about for a very long time and although I wasn't entirely sure about it, it made me happy and with time just stuck with me. It's now me.

I think you have to have a intuition about it. It is super personal and other people might not think much of it like some others have said, but it's something you need to be comfortable with I think.  By taking your time and thinking about it, I'm sure you'll make the right choice for yourself!

 

Hugs,

      Hi Sally, okay I'll head on over to your post and check out your makeup techniques.
    • Sally Stone
      Hey all,   It's been a while, but I blogged a whole series on makeup.  It's an eight-part series where I talk about my techniques.   Here is the link to Part 1:       Hopefully the blog series is helpful.

      Oh, I can relate to that one Vicky, leaving lipstick in hot weather  I've lost count how many times I had to purchase new purses. 
    • Ladypcnj
      Thanks for the replies, as an admin from my own group I understand the same rules, agreed.

      Any links posted would have to meet this criteria  All content posted or shared through TransPulse services must be appropriate for minors. We welcome members aged 13 to 18. As such, adult or pornographic content, nudity, underwear images, violence, gore, and other content not suitable for minors may not be posted anywhere to this service.

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      Thanks, Mindy.

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.

      I raise my hand in the group, I have a question and a suggestion... is it allowed to share other new lgbtq+ website links here? 
    • Ladypcnj
      Yeah, ELF is a good brand, another brand is Revlon ColorStay last 24 hours.

      Sir is good, as well as mister! I don't mind Mx. but my brain's first thought is a mixer.
    • missyjo
      giggles..sounds much more comfy   I'm on 5 minute break outside n wondering if i can open my blouse..oops..maybe not ..laughs
    • kristinabee
      I really don't think that's a good idea. The unity of the LGB and T community is historic and has been central for both groups rights. And the vast majority of people advocating for splitting the two are transphobic LGB's who are broadly condemned by the community anyway.
