I personally think it's an ugly name.

Well if you like made up names

Hulababy · 19/12/2008 22:34

I am not keen. I like a few older names, but not this one.

NotanOtter · 19/12/2008 22:35

lovely lovely lovely

a friend of mine called Wendy died earlier this year and it really has made me ponder how sweet the name is

LedodgyChristmasjumper · 19/12/2008 22:35

I think I like it unless she farts alot then she'll deffo be called Windy Wendy.

Tidey · 19/12/2008 22:36

Sorry, far too fifties/sixties sounding for me, and not in a cool way.

LedodgyChristmasjumper · 19/12/2008 22:36

Oh God sorry NAO unfortunate cross post there. I also have a friend called Wendy and she gets called Wend most of the time.

NotanOtter · 19/12/2008 22:40

ledodgy Wendy would have laughed!!!

I can't be objective about it - the only Wendy I've ever known was an effing psycho. [steam coming out of ears, ten years later...]

TooMuchMakkaPakka · 19/12/2008 23:22

I know a Wendy who's lovely and sunny and full of energy and the name really suits her. It's quite an individual name though, stands out a bit - this could be a good / or a bad thing.

NotanOtter · 20/12/2008 00:00

yes it is Sunny

The name Wendy is derived from "fwiendy". Which is the name ??'s daughter used to call JM Barrie.

You'll sleep better for knowing that, won't you.

I really, really hate it (it's my middle name). I have only ever met two Wendys - and they were both horrible.

nooka · 20/12/2008 00:16

I think it is somehow both a bit naff and a bit twee. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole personally. I'm sure there are some lovely Wendies out there though

Clary · 20/12/2008 00:35

I have a pal with this name and she really doesn't like it.

Made up by J M Barrie for Peter Pan btw.

ChubbyDickAndSnowBalls · 20/12/2008 00:51

I'm a Wendy.

You are all eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.

Actually I absolutely hate my name. My dad named me after a Beach Boys song. Guess I should just be glad he didn't call me Rhonda or Barbara-Ann.

Nancy66 · 20/12/2008 12:31

I do think it's a bit plain and ordinary - i like older style names but not this one

MannyMoeAndJack · 20/12/2008 18:12

Makes me think of Wendy's?!
