Thwendy.
(JM Barrie invented the name 'Wendy' as a result of his neighbour's little daughter talking with a lisp and having difficulty pronouncing 'friendly house' when referring to a shed where she and Barrie talked. It came out as "Thwendy House", which is what inspired Barrie to get 'Wendy House' and thus the name Wendy)
