HelpRe: Wendy
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like it. It gives me a vaguely classic but also short/cute vibe, so probably more Peter Pan, but not specifically Peter Pan. Wendy seems to go with names like Molly, Polly, Jane, Jenny, Mary, Maggie, Meggie, Lucy, Ruby, Rosie, Ginny, etc.
I also think Wednesday "Wendy" would be cool.
ETA: I don't think the Wendy's association is that strong for me because I just think of the fast food chain as "Wendy's", not "Wendy" + "'s" if that makes sense. Like if I met a Wendy Smith and a Joe McDonald, the latter would make me think of McDonalds but the former wouldn't make me think of Wendy's.
Also, in my accent Wendy starts to drift toward "windy". If it was my name or my kid's name I'd feel like I'd always need to make an effort to keep the pronunciation firmly on the "WENdy" side. I like saying it that way but it might feel a little pretentious, like I was making too big a deal out of pronouncing it properly.
