How did you choose your new name?

Lush! That's a great name.

 

My name was given me by a dominatrix after I enquired about training with her and it was revealed I had no female name yet. I did have a name years ago when I used to go clubbing en femme: Billie. That name was given me by someone I met at the club, but it didn't feel right this time around. I find, like nicknames, the ones that stick best are usually given by someone else. Ever tried to give yourself a nickname? It takes some doing.

Oh btw Luscious, I think I saw you mentioned bald orcs in another thread? I love the bald look. Gutsy and striking.

Yes, I have club name, too. It’s Eri, written 恵理 in Japanese , but I haven’t been out for over a year because of COVID-19. Now I’m debating whether to keep using that name, too, after I legally change my name to Kasumi. Anyone else using two names?

Two names??? I struggle with one!  Just been finishing off paperwork and realised I've signed about 25 pages with my old name D'oh!   Went to my bank yesterday and changed the name on my bank account. Really looking forward to a card in my new name. I will get this lol

 

My wife says she has more than one name for me though and none of them are pleasant!  Must be love xx

I have chosen Audra Rebel as my given and middle name. Well, Audra I initially was thinking for a daughter at some point and I don't know any Audras (the name my mom gave me it a common male name in the 80's and she named me that because she did not know any Jasons, and I just noticed a pattern). I remember seeing a model named Audra at some point and thought it sounds good. Rebel after Rebel Wilson and also I am kind of rebelling against my gender by birth. I told my sister the name I had picked out, she said it sounds like a Hollywood stage name. I had thought about various names from relatives, names of girls that I went to school with and liked the sound of, but I decided on to pick something that would be mine and not from people I had some kind of direct contact with.

      Trump-linked dark-money group spent $90m on racist and transphobic ads in 2022, records show. Citizens for Sanity was one of top political spenders last election cycle and is back for 2024 with more extreme messaging, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/17/trump-citizens-sanity-election-ads

      I adore the Bee Gees. There's no way that I could link all their great songs in the above post. To me though, this song of theirs is head and shoulders above everything else:

      The Gibb brothers were awesome individually, as a group, or in collaboration.

      My long hair is the single most important physical feature of my body which confirms the presence of my inner woman.   That said @SS, I am the 'other' sort of bi-gender. I am of the simultaneous type. I do not flip-flop between girl days and boy days either mentally or through presentation. For me, I am both primary genders at the same time, and the compromise is made through an androgynous presentation. When I look in the mirror, I can see either, but I am happy to admit that when I see a woman, I am happier.

      Quite unexpected!   I had my weekly conversation with my father last night and he mentioned something he did that caught me totally off guard.  He was browsing garage sales and came across a nice blond wig, he decided to buy it and his wife was quite perplexed he said.  They had a dinner date with a couple that are friends since high school, and my father went dressed as a woman (with his wife's assistance). He said he did it as a "joke", but spent the entire evening dressed.

      Welcome aboard, @The Lake. One thing you can be confident in is that this forum is a safe place to share your thoughts. Have a good look around and chime in as you see fit.

      Thank you! So do I! Although I'm proud of what it portrays, I don't wear it often because I think it could be taken as being a bit provocative. One part of me says look at me, I'm proud to be on the rainbow and the other part says pull your head in, you're asking for trouble.   I do have a more subtle pride t-shirt that I visibly wear more often, here is a representation of it: "Moon phase rainbow" V-Neck T-Shirt by secretmagic | Redbubble

      Emotional stability is a personality trait that describes how calm, collected, and emotionally consistent someone is. It's the opposite of neuroticism, which is a personality trait that describes how much negative affect, emotional volatility, and mood fluctuation a person displays.
