Interestingly enough...

the name I was given is almost the same as the name my mom wanted to give me if I had been born a girl. She was going to name me after one of her favorite aunts, and when things turned out the way they did, she just added one letter to the end of it :P My middle name's a different story, but she's never told me what that would have been -- probably 'cause I've only ever asked about the first.

...She did say once that if she had another girl, she would have named her after my Aunt Louise (Louise died when she was six when my Mom was little). I'll never know, so I guess the name I picked is just fine? Sigh...

My mom had Sarah Elizabeth picked out, and then got word that my aunt and uncle had adopted a girl where he was stationed in Hawaii and had named her Sara. Then my mom settled on Lacey Elizabeth, but then I came along, and so she shelved that name, only to discover later that a friend had named a daughter Lacey.

Poor mom had that happen with every girl's name she ever wanted to name one of her children, and she never did get the chance to use any of them anyway, given my four brothers. ^^;

I really liked Elizabeth, though, and all the many, many variations on it. ^__^ I have another, first name that I chose, but I'll keep that one mostly to myself and the few people to whom I've already mentioned it. ^^

Meet Veronika

I have known since before school-age that I would have carried the name Veronika (yes with a "k" in Swedish) so it was quite natural that that ended up as a my second name when I finally changed my public sex. Ginnie stems from the first time when I really started to look into photography as a serious subject. I "needed" a better artist-name than my male one. All was well until I realised that it was a female name. But when LIFE turned my names were the simplest thing in the transition: Ginnie Veronika.

Actually .......

Actually the name my parents would have given me is my Screen name, I found out by accident 20odd years ago.

Mine?

Susan Jacqueline. I always liked the two I have, so I picked them myself.

My Parents...

...had intended to name their first girl Rhonda. I sort of feel I escaped.

As it turned out they never had a girl. (Me included. I didn't feel I fit in very well as a boy, but being a girl would have been a worse fit.)

But between the time "Rhonda" miscarried in 1948 and that of my birth in 1950, my great-aunt Esther died and as per the European Jewish tradition, I was going to be named after her. So I assume I would have been Esther had I been a girl. They retained the initial by naming me Eric.

Eric

girl's name????

Heck, my parents didn't even have a boy's name picked out. I was my mother's sixth pregnancy and I guess they'd used up all the family names. We lived just a few blocks from the hospital and when the deadline for turning in my birth record into the county came up, (six weeks) and they still hadn't told the doctor what my name was to be, he walked over to the house and told them that he needed to turn in the birth record that day. My parents still didn't have any idea what to name me so he offered a first name and my mom said that it would do. When he asked about a middle name, she still couldn't come up with anything. So he offered a middle name and mom accepted that. He filled in the document, gave her a copy and walked back to the hospital.

That's the sordid story of how I was named.

My femme name came about in a more interesting way. I tended to be a cry baby when I was younger, even crying in public while in the seventh grade. When the guys teased me about it, the picked up on my nick name, Pat, which could go for either a boy or a girl and called me "Patricia."

When I reached a point of communicating with other cross-dressers, I adopted the name for my own adding the name of a great aunt as a middle name and the alternate spelling of my middle name for a last name. I became "Patricia Marie Allen."

For the longest time I was

For the longest time I was told my parents never had a girl's name picked out for me. Turns out that was true, but my mother had one in mind. Ironically, it's the same name I chose for my middle name. :)
