The name Wendy didn't exist until the book Peterpan. Every part of language is made up, even the names.
Yeah but it's also the parents responsibility to give their child a non stupid name that won't get them ridiculed their whole life.
Parents being quirky with names is how you end up with kids getting bullied forever.
Edit: Glad to see all the people who weren't bullied downvoting this. My name isn't even that weird and I still get made fun of for it. Don't give your kids stupid names.
Kids will make fun of any name. My name is common in the area of the world I am from, and they bullied me with my name.
Fuck off with this shit that the name is the problem, kids probably just decided to bully because they are terrible little shits whise parents either don't care, or encourage them.
My point is kids are going to be shitheads regardless. Why would you give them a perfect target?
If your kid is a shithead, there is only one place to place the blame, and its not the kid.
Tell that to the parents who let their kids do whatever they want and will completely flip their shit if anyone dares threaten their "perfect little angel"
To everyone else don't set your kids up for failure.
Hey, thanks for elaborating on my point.
Because its the parents that I was pointing the finger at.
