What's In A Name

I took my middle name (Joshua) and switched and added some letters. Mind you I tried a couple of combos. I didn't use my first name because I found out that my female name sounds better with a J than a B! good luck with a name!

Guest RachelT93

Although my screen name says Rachel, I will actually be called Kelly Charlotte ( when i transition)

I have liked the name Kelly because it was kind of beautiful, and charlotte because i just think it is an adorable name.

My folks wanted to call me Lorna if i was born a girl, but i dont like the name at all! No offence to anyone called Lorna!!

I have yet to decide on the name I'll want to go by. I'm thinking of shortening my name (Jessica) to maybe Jesse or Jess but I really don't like those options. Then there's my mom's favorite boy name, Oliver but I don't like that either. Right now I'm stuck between Mathew "Matt" or Conrad. I'm thinking Conrad because it's more unique than Matt but I really need to think about this more

Guest Carol Anne

People ask me, why did you choose Carol, instead of Collen or Collette (which too close to my old male name). Carol popped into my head and stuck, my wife chose Anne as my second name (never had one before), have had a think about other names and always come back to Carol.....I like it!

:D

And that's a very good thing Carol Ann.

Mine when chose,felt like my birth name.

I was looking at a book explaining the meaning of you name.

My middle name,which was to have been my birth name had i been born correctly...

Matches my personality to a tee,likes,colors ,favorite gem stone...everything.

Showed me that my parents girl name for me,IS Who I Should Have Been From The Begining.

Food For Thought.

Hugs Lady,

Guest Brianna

Originally, I thought I wanted Brianna to be my name since its the feminine version of my male name. But it seemed to similar and I realized that it didn't really fit me. I remember that my mom would have named me Alyssa or Ashley if i was born a girl, and I know too many Ashleys. So I landed on Alyssa, and I really like it, its pretty, not to long, and I can have the nick name Allie which i like as well. My male nickname is simply my last name, so theres really no problem with that.

Also, my dad always calls me Brianna when he thinks I'm being a wimp, so when I think of Brianna now it just reminds me of how ignorant he is and I want to forget about that.

Loveee

Alyssa

Guest Jessica Renae

My original Femm name was Sara. Never really liked it just plucked it out of the air when my online RPG group asked my what my name was. I'm tall for a man (thus freakishly tall for a woman) so when ever I'd hear that name I'd think of a phrase I'd heard as a child: "Sara plain and tall". Yuck, not exactly something I want to draw attention to. After doing some thinking I could not come up with something that I liked until I stumbled across a forum (no clue which one) I saw the signiture "Jess". I suggested the name to my finace' and she liked it too. Yay!

Renae is a middle name I've always loved, and has survived since the Sara era.

Guest Evey in Ohio

like most of you girls I have had many names, and becuase of circumstances that perhaps I'll write about on here, each of those names and personalities had to die off. And that's how I feel about them they actually died. Kelli my last name had done quite a few bad thingsand my wife and I wanted to have a fresh start together. We bounced a few names back together but settledd on Evey. From the charecterin the movie "V for Vendetta" she goes through a period of self discovery. and I feel like that now with my wife I am on a journey of self discovery.

Guest Allianna

hi all. well i said in my introduction it was a long story, so here goes.

well a while back like ohhh 4-5 years ago i had a major spiritual crises, unfortunately I was also battling major depression. After a while i had enough and asked an old friend if i could spend the weekend with her family. We talked a lot the first day and she told me about the old wiccan gods and how sometimes they would bestow insight. I figured what did I have to lose? Well it was wierd to say the least, cant go into all the details secretes and all that :P. In the end I was presented a challenge in my dreams, I had to kill myself to find myself. once i did that I was asked something that at the time struck me as horrifying. I was asked "Why do you ask who you are Allianna? You who were forged of Dementia and Chaos. Yet look upon yourself and think you to be a man? Why are you so blind?" so after all that I finally had an answear. I talked to several other priestesses and later several psychologists which after many sessions determined that Iwas truely female inside, all the suspicions i had growing up... it all just suddenly made sense now. I tried different names both male and female and every time the only name that felt right was Allianna Dementia.

Come to find out there was no definition to Allianna so I asked my friend if she had any info on it. Its meaning is ancient druidic. A warrior of both destruction and creation, while docile and caring at heart once threatened even time will stand still in the face of her fury.

Ironicly the Berserker blood trait is in my family so once i heard that I just KNEW that was the real me. and the rest as they say is history.

-thinks to self- hmmmm somehow i always leave huge posts sorry again!

Welcome Allaina,

Don't apologize for your post my dear.

You had something to say and i found it quite interesting.

We had a girl here named Isabella Lethalia Innocenzi.

And her name came from a childhood friend.

Now that girl could post a loooong comment.

But i sure liked her Big Time.

Welcome once again and i like your name.

Angie.

:banghead::huh: Trying to find the meaning for my given name James is leading me in circles. I finally went searcjing for the meaning of the word Supplanter and I can't seem to find anything about that term. All I can find is that it is Hebrew and has some relation to the Christian religon from this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just

I chose the name Jayme because I would have been named that if I was born a Genetic Female.

The really weird part is that almost everyone calls me Jayme now and nobody knows that I am Transsexual lol :D

My cousin's grandson is named Adrian James. This has earned him the nickname of AJ.

Link to comment

Jayme,

James is the Latin version of the name Jacob which comes from Genesis 25:25-34 where Jacob and Esau were being born and Jacob grabs Esau's heel. I think the Hebrew root of Jacob means heel, but don't hold me too that. It takes on the meaning of supplanter, because Jacob later tricks Esau out of his birthright.

As for my name, I chose it because I already knew too many women named Kate and Jennifer and I think it gives more of a tomboyish feel, which is how I see myself. It works out because my birth name also starts with a "j" so, at least I don't have to change my initials :) .

Guest kathy sue

i went through several names before finding my true name

my given mane is one of the top androgynous names with many different spellings

have used many of them over the years

one day i was just sitting around trying out different names when it just came to me

katherine susanne steele and i knew i had found who i am

i like that it has several possibilities like kathy sue or kathy or sue.....i like katt

i never gave much thought about what they mean until i read this post

so i check a couple web sites and found

katherine comes from the greek meaning pure or virginal

susanne comes from the hebrew meaning lily

as luck would have it lily was right there so what the heck

lily from the latin meaning blossoming flower

so i quess that makes me a pure blooming lily

and my last name steele is my biological fathers

never have wanted or liked my stepfathers name

trying to live life as i see it in my minds eye

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!
    • Willow
      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.
