Hello, thoughts on Wendy? We have a Betsy. We absolutely adore it. She's almost 6 weeks, so time is getting short. Thanks!

Sorry but I don't like it

I think this is the worst forum to ask about the name Wendy on Grin

If I reread your op it grows on me a little more each time.

I do not think 'being wendied' means anything to most people in England. I've never heard of it in my life.

Sorry but if I was cooing over your newborn baby and asked you its name I would be very Shock ! Betsy is lovely and cute, Wendy is just awful IMO, I would expect an older lady to have such a name, some names don't come back for a reason! Infact it would somehow make me dislike the name Betsy slightly too as I would presume you had old fashioned taste. Sorry! If you like the 'older' style names how about Elsie? Or Ava? Molly?

Wendy? Google "being Wendied"
For that reason it would be a no from be.

I don't know what 'to be wendied' means but I thinks it's nice. My mum taught a Wendy and she looked like most gorgeous cabbage patch doll (and was lovely!)

No it's very old fashioned. If you've already got a 'y' name, I wouldn't want another. Too samey.

Have you heard the phrase "to be wendied"? I would avoid it I am afraid.
