Interestingly, three different Chef Wendell's (one fictional) come up when I search this name. So I guess if you want your son to be a chef, name him Wendell and he will fit right in!There is also country music star Wendell Hall.

Honestly, I think this name is pretty great. It makes a cute name if you're younger and a wise one if you're older.
Wendell, Happy's personal assistant, who is much nicer and but works with him on kidnapping Odie. He is the one who informs Happy about the "Found" poster of Odie and lets him steal Odie as he belongs to Jon Arbuckle. When Happy gets arrested in the film's ending, he is last seen running after the police car that drives off with Happy.
One of my favorite TV shows, Bones, has a character named Wendell. He's my favorite Squint (all those who watch Bones know what I'm talking about) after Vincent, and just before Fisher. Wendell is super nice, awkward, and funny. I have always loved this name, and would name my kid Wendell any day.
The Cinnamon Toast Crunch mascot (the chef) is named Wendell.
