Wendy?

[WolfTobias]

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

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

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

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!)

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

Sorry but if I was cooing over your newborn baby and asked you its name I would be very ! 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?

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

silver we are far from old fashioned the complete opposite!

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

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

Sorry but I don't like it

Sorry I'm another one who dosnt like Wendy.
Have you though of other 'ie/y' ending names like
Elsie
Maisie
Emmie / Emmy

The books there are frequent threads about being Wendied on mumsnet!

Being wendied is just a mumsnet thing.

I'm not a big fan, but if you like it do it. It's a proper name and it's not offensive, you're baby is 6 weeks old get cracking. No name is going to be universally loved. Once she has a name it will just be her.

Not too keen on Wendy. Sorry. Betsy's gorgeous though. I'd avoid another 'Y' ending name.

Exactly! People may think that of you if they don't know you though! But nobody else's opinion should alter yours so if you love it go for it, if you have doubts though I would look for alternatives! There are so many lovely girls name to be had that would go lovely with Betsy.

Never heard of being wendied before either

Really awful.

Wendy is a total bitch on here.

You'll never get a good response on MN. It's an insult

I like it.
Most people in the real world don't know what being Wendied means.

I really like it. I have two lovely relatives with this name, so I might be biased.

I''ve only heard of "being wendied" on Mumsnet.

Wendy is a good choice - everyone knows it so you aren't going to get quizzical expressions, but it's not a popular choice in 2017 so she won't be one of many in her class. Wendy is fine at all stages of her life too.

Trendy Wendy

I love it OP, was on our shortlist for DD. Unusual and pretty, & fun Peter Pan link. I'd love to meet a baby Wendy!

First thing I thought of was being Wendied! Also I find the way Wendy fauns over Peter very annoying, I prefer a strong role model.

How about Susie?

Bendy Wendy

Baaaad.

It is a bit old fashioned I'm afraid, and I think it is a name I would associate with someone a bit drippy.

Asking MN probably not your best bet as the majority will probably think of 'being wendied'.
