Inexplicably because I was a very small baby I was called Wendy Wiffles; but I guess Wendy has its own charm with its connection to Peter Pan.
When I was about 8 years old because my initials were WEB I was called “Lettuce”, but nothing of substance! I then decided to be called by my middle name Elizabeth which I loved, but was then called Lizzie, and for some reason the boys at school taunted me by tying my long plaits to a tree – for a joke!
Over 70 years later I have accepted that my name is Wendy!
Wendy Green
