Wendy?

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

Betsy seems to be growing quite popular now, (I predict super popularity) if the influx of new babies etc is anything to go by. I wonder if Wendy will be the same.

Similar style names, I suppose.

Not my own taste. I'd have a Guendoline/Gwendolen and use it as a nick name. Grin

I've heard of being 'wendied'

Betsy just outside of top 100, at 135-ish. I knew it! Top 100 next. Wendy has risen slightly, but a few 9very few) are using it. Who knows.

Love Betsy. Less keen on Wendy. What about Nancy?

Dorothy? you could call her Dotty or Dolly. Dora? Primrose?

Perhaps not Wendy.

Very sorry but I picture a Wendy as a frumpy dinner lady in her 50-60s! Betsy a lovely name though :)

Not keen.

How about:

Mary
Minnie
Nancy
Hannah
Clara

Had a childhood friend called Wendy and she was known as Windy Wendy all through school...
