Wendie is a female first name.
Recently, the name Wendie has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Wendie. That means that a girl named Wendie is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Wendie.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Wendie. Girls named Wendie have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,077 Wendie ranked higher than ever in 1951. By comparison, there have been 81 years in which the first name Wendie has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Wendie only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Wendie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Wendie are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Wendie is registered in 12 states, among which are California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan or Minnesota. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Wendie live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 53,451 would turn around if you called the name Wendie across California.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The W is really rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 0.8% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a W. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Wendie is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 0.8% of all girls' names start with a W, all other letters occur on average five times as often as the W. Nevertheless, individual girls' names with W are quite popular, the most common currently being Wanda.
If your name is Wendie and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
