Wendy?

[MullerInk]

What do we think? Does it fit with the old lady name vibes. What about Sally? I really like them both.

I love both those names. Sally was on my baby name list first time around and Wendy is an adorable name. They are both a bit old lady/vintage but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think they're really pretty and classic.

I prefer Sally

Sally is nice. I have bad associations with a Wendy so it'd be a no for me, but objectively it's not a terrible name.

I like Sally! Wendy makes me think of the American burger place and being wendied, neither of which are great associations.

I know one lovely Wendy (who it suits and is not even remotely old lady like) however I know two more that are utterly bonkers and not in the good way, so on balance I'm put off the name.

Sally is pretty.

Can I Borrow Your Potato Peeler??

Sorry. 😂

The connection in my head is Peter Pan. Wendy is lovely.

Sally = lovely
Wendy = no

Neither are great

wendy will make people think of peter pan, wendy houses etc

also, on MN, it means a bully who joins an existing friendship group and pushes someone out to become top dog. hence the expression "you've been wendied".

Wendy is more in a generation with Susan, Maureen, and Sandra, which is a generation on from the trendy old lady names. Wendy is pretty dreadful to me. Sally is better but still not nice to me (I much prefer Sadie as a diminutive of Sarah).

Not keen on Wendy, but Sally is nice. I know a few of them, mostly in their 50s

Not keen on either.

Any other names?

Not keen on either. Definitely not Wendy.

I really like Sally! (But might put Sara/Sarah on the birth cert in case the baby doesn't like it when she's older, to give her more choice.)
Really dislike Wendy, sorry, makes me think of the one from Peter Pan who was so wet imo, and also wendy houses. Just sounds somehow prim and twee.

I love both but Wendy is my favourite

Sorry I don’t like either. I think Wendy is an awful name and Sally is a dogs name. Apologies. Do you have any other names? Susie? Julia? Sylvia? Dorothy?

I know an 18 month old Wendy. It seems very odd. I prefer sally but not really a fan of either sordy

Thought of another one. Cindy/Sindy.

I like Sally better than Wendy. But Sadie even better if that's an option?

I'd choose Sally though it is rare nowadays, not Wendy.

Sally's quite nice. Wendy is a no for me - epitome of a made-up name (by the author of Peter Pan, IIRC).

I like Sally! Wendy just seems dowdy to me. Sally seems bright and fresh.

Neither are particularly nice .
