I really like Wendy

[TheWashingMachine]

I'm quite taken with it, do you think it is due a revival?

I know 2 lovely Wendys so think of the name very warmly.

My young adult dd is Wendy Yvette.

Sorry, really don't like it.

It's really old fashioned, and being called a 'Wendy' was the equivalent of being called a 'Karen' back in my day.

Not that I agree with using a name in that way... but for that reason alone, I wouldn't.

There was a Wendy in my year at school. Only one I've ever met. She was really nice.

I like Gwendoline as the full name then call her Wendy. But she might decide she likes Gwen as an adult. I like Gwen

I know an 18 year old Wendy and I have a very good friend Wendy ( mid fifties ) . Myself I think it’s not the newest but I think it might be due a revival

I know, my DS aged 9 said it is an old lady name but I like the story of Peter Pan and My Grandfather lived next door to JM Barrie and bought me the book before I was even born.

I think Wendy is a lovely name. You should go for it especially as it has a special connection for you.

Not keen I'm afraid.

Makes me think of my mums friend who is 70+ now., or Wendy Craig. The only young (26) Wendy I know of is a member of the kpop group Red Velvet.
I don't think it's awful though.

not keen.

And not because of its frumpiness, more the way it means to be pushed out of a group by one covert scapegoating narcissist.

What about Winnie !? Much nicer.

Wendy is the Karen equivalent I’m afraid - not good connotations! Have you never heard the phrase “you’ve been Wendy’d/wendied”?

My mom is Wendy. The name on her birth certificate is Gwendolyn.

I knew a wendy when I was a kid.
Her sister was Dee.
I think it is quite a sweet sounding name.

I like it. I know 2 Wendy's and they are both lovely people.

Oh good lord no x

I'm in my 50's and sadly my parents called me Wendy and I have always hated it. Although, I am not "wet and frump", I think there are just so many lovely names, I can't understand why anyone would choose it!
