[Opinions] WDYTO Wendy?
I've never really thought about the name, but when a coworker who recently gave birth named her daughter Wendy, it was brought to my attention.
WDYTO it?

I like it as a nickname for Gwendolen. I have cousin named this.

I really dislike it. It's one of the names that were popular when I was born, that I always say I'm so grateful that my mother didn't name me, along with Barbara and Leslie.

I think it's lovely. I guess I personally wouldn't use it unless it were a nn for Gwendolyn. And, I don't think I ever would get past the Wendy's association . . . but, I like Wendy's!

It's sweet. I wouldn't use it, but it's definetly cute and I'd love to meet a little girl named Wendy. It should make a comeback :D

My aunt's name is Wendy (NN for Wenona). So I think it works nicely.

It's my mom's name, and while I wouldn't use it on my own girls, I think it's perfectly acceptable. :)

It's cute, though kind of ditzy somehow. But it is nice to see it used again. You really don't see it much anymore.

I think it's a very sweet and refreshing name. Hearing that a new baby girl was named Wendy rather than Madison, Mackenzie, or some strange variation of either one makes me happy beyond belief. I also think Wendy makes an adorable nn for Gwendolen, but it is perfectly fine on it's own as well. Very nice.

I have an aunt named Wendy whom is really sweet and kind... so that's what I think of when I hear the name Wendy. It's both innocent and mature at the same time and is pleasant to say.It's actually one of my favorite girl names :-) lol, though I'll definitely never use it - I don't want to make my other aunts jealous! ;P

It's a pleasant one that seems to stay fairly even--not becoming a fad and not becoming obsolete. It's said that J.M. Barrie invented the name for Peter Pan, based on a childhood friend he had called "fwendy." I've always wondered, however, if there weren't some Gwendolyns out there called Wendy.
