What is a femboy?

  1. It is mostly used for cisgender males, but some trans men and nonbinary people may also identify as femboys.[8] Femboys often wear feminine clothing (like dresses and skirts) and accessories (like nail polish and makeup), and they may act softer and more feminine than “masculine” men.[9]
    • The term femboy was originally a derogatory term for men who didn’t fit traditional masculine standards, but in recent years, it has been reclaimed as a positive way for men to identify.
    • Anyone can be a femboy, regardless of sexual orientation.

Femboy Name FAQs

  1. 1
    What are femboy names? Femboy names are typically names femboys give themselves. While any name can be a femboy name if you identify as a femboy, most femboy names typically have softer sounds or are traditionally associated with femininity.
  2. 2
    Are femboy names only for transgender people? No, you don’t have to be transgender to identify as a femboy or have a femboy name. Femboy names can be used by anyone who wants to express themselves more femininely, regardless of gender identity.[10]
  3. 3
    How do I choose the right femboy name? It’s okay to try out different names until you find one you like. Pick a name that feels right and reflects your desired image and expression.[11] However, be sure to respect other cultures when choosing a name. Research your desired name to make sure you won’t accidentally offend someone by using it.
    • For example, some people may want to name themselves after their favorite anime character, but this could be considered cultural appropriation if the individual is not Japanese.
