Wendy

[MissMoodyMoo]

Do we think wendy is going to make a come back? I kinda like it!

Wendy has grown on me recently, it's starting to feel fresher.

I went to school with a Wendy (mid 90s) and always thought it was a nice name.

Not right now no, it’s too recent.

It’s not v distinguished, so I think best left in the cupboard.

No, it's horrible.

I like it.

Really bad.

It makes me think of the sickeningly twee aspects of the Peter Pan character who ‘mothers’ the Lost Boys and wants Peter to talk to her father about marrying her, but also the gruesome, horse-faced wife in A Fish Called Wanda who sees the necklace and coos ‘ A wuh for Wendy!’

My mum was called Gwendoline and had always hated the name so I started calling her Wendy when she was in her 70’s and she loved her ‘new’ name.

I hope it comes back into fashion.

I was born in the 1970s - I and many of my friends had an Auntie Wendy.

It’s on a par with Maureen, Avril, Beryl and Doreen for me ie those 1940s/1950s baby names that aren’t quite “old lady chic” in the Violet/Mabel/Florence vein.I can see them making a comeback a decade or so from now as those women’s grandchildren start to have babies.

I’ve never met an unpleasant Wendy come to think of it!

I worked with a Wendy as a teenager- she had a terrible wind problem (and it stunk). I can’t hear Wendy now without thinking of Windy Wendy.

Wendy, Barbara and Janet are crochet friends.

May be due a come back but I hope not.

Spelling it Wendi makes it seem more modern and less Wendy House/Peter Pan

Its ok. I like it a lot better than some of the names people post on here. But would not use it as a name for a child I had either.

Maybe, the similar sounding Lindy is getting plenty of thumbs up on another thread

Yikes no and Wendi is beyond horrendous.

All the Wendy's I know, except one, haven't been very nice so I am not keen on the name at all.

Every Wendy I have ever known has been lovely, friendly and kind and that's how I imagine someone with that name.

No. I know two lovely ones in their 50s/60s but it doesn't need a revival.

Due a revival I think.

I only ever knew one Wendy and she was the worst person in London. Pretty on the outside but very very ugly on the inside.

Not a fan of Wendy tbh but I like that it's not too frilly. amelias and olivias and isabellas are going to be replaced by shorter, firmer sounding names. So although I don't actually like Wendy I like Rhoda and Sandy which are in the same category I think.

I ❤️ it!
