Wendy is a given name generally given to females in English-speaking countries.
The name is found in United States records from the 19th century; Wendy Gram, a female resident of Ohio, was born in 1828, and the name Wendy appeared over twenty times in the U.S. Census of 1880. In Britain, Wendy appeared as a boy's name in the 1881 census of England, and was occasionally used as a nickname for the Welsh Gwendolyn. However, its popularity as a girl's name is attributed to the character Wendy Darling from the 1904 play Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy by J. M. Barrie. The name was inspired by young Margaret Henley, daughter of Barrie's friend W. E. Henley. With the common childhood difficulty pronouncing Rs, Margaret reportedly used to call him 'my fwiendy-wendy'.
The name Wendy is sometimes considered a variation of the name Wanda.
Various Chinese rulers have held the name and title Emperor Wen, which in Chinese is read Wen(-)di (文帝). Chinese women with the same or similar-sounding characters as their given names often Anglicise their names as Wendi or Wendy (e.g. Wendi Deng, Wendy Kweh).
Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and released her self-titled debut studio album, Mariah Carey. The album went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records, including Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993) and Merry Christmas (1994), established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995), made music history when the second single, "One Sweet Day" a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest running number one song in US chart history. During the recording of the album Carey began to deviate from her pop background, and slowly traversed into R&B and Hip-hop. After her separation from Mottola, this musical change was evident with the release of Butterfly (1997).

the school dance is coming in
She's giving dad the 'Please can I,
Charlie is taking me'
‘Charlie that worthless son of a gun
You better ask your mom'
She said: 'O dad give me a break,
a miracle is what it takes
If you say yes, she can't say no'
And dad said; 'Allright, go,
but there's a curfew and behave,
don't spend all your money
O and Wendy? Be home 11.30
Wendy, you better listen to your daddy'
11.30, home she is
'Mom, dad, I'm going to bed'
Kiss, kiss and goes upstairs,
She’s sneaking out the window,
tearing up her rental dress
Her friends are waiting down the street
'Hey Charlie, Tom and Emma, here is Wendy,
brought a bit of brandy'
Wendy listen to your Daddy
Safe sex and liquor in the punch
Hangs out with Charlie and the bunch
Wendy in the backseat of a chevy
Supposedly the night is gone
Wendy had lots of fun
But daddy screams: 'What have you done,
you're grounded 'till your twenty-one'
Wendy, you should have listened to your daddy
