Wendy

In Disney's Peter Pan, Wendy Darling was a 12 year old girl who lived in London with her parents George and Mary, and two younger brothers, Michael and John. She often told her brothers stories about Peter Pan. After her father scolded her and told her it was time to grow up, she met Peter Pan who took her and her brothers to Neverland. After some adventures in Neverland, the Darling children decided they miss home, and returned to London to grow up.

In Lilo and Stitch, Agent Wendy Pleakley was a member of the Galactic Federation that was assigned to assist Jumba Jookiba in capturing Stitch when he escaped to Earth. Pleakley was from the planet Plorgonar and was considered an expert on the planet Earth, although he had never been there prior to his assignment. He had one eye, two tongues, three legs, and an antenna.

In the Disney channel series Phineas and Ferb, Wendy and Candace competed for the same job at Mr. Slushy Burger because they both wanted to work with Jeremy. Their competition turned into a food fight, and neither got the job.

In the Disney channel series Gravity Falls, Wendy Corduroy was a laid back girl who worked part time at the Mystery Shack. She dated Robbie for awhile, and Dipper had a crush on her.

In the Disney channel move, Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, Wendy Wu was a normal teenager who only wanted to become homecoming queen but turned out to be the reincarnation of a Yin warrior.

Although many sources state that the name Wendy was invented by Peter Pan's author, J.M. Barrie, it was actually in use centuries before. It is sometimes used as a nickname for the Welsh name Gwendolyn, which means 'white ring.' Wendy has been in the top 1,000 names in the U.S. since 1936. It reached it's peak at #28 in 1970 and has been falling ever since. In 2014 it ranked at #782.
