Hola everyone!

[Paula G]

One of members talks about the "moment when the girl emerges" (you know who I mean) for some it is a physical thing like putting on a wig, or ear rings for me it was when I started using my name. I did try out a few others on for size (mostly on line) first, I remember being Babara, and Emerald, but they just didn't seem to fit ~ OK for special occasions but not for everyday wear. It was when I joined this forum and needed a name that I became Paula, and once I had the name the person began to emerge. This may seem silly but I do think Paula is in some way a separate person even though she and he are parts that make up the whole.

Pick a name you are happy about as an individual, an Aunt, a shopper, etc etc. remember one day you will meet somebody and have to say, "Hello I'm ........."

Thanks for the advice Paula. I'm still strugglin a bit with the whole decision to live with crossdressing, and how far I will go with it, so maybe I'll wait a while before deciding on the name, but lookin in the mirror this weekend while made up, I did feel comfortable with either Samantha or Tabatha. Maybe when I get a wig, it'll seem easier. Have a great day.
