It is also my Mother's name; I think of myself more as being named in her honor.

My name was made up by J. M. Barry for the book "Peter Pan" There is no classical meaning for 'Wendy' (does that mean I have no class???) :D

Joanne - feminine version of John, which means "Yahweh is gracious". One of my brothers and my son are named John, as were both my grandfathers.

I'm a Joanne also. One grandfather, father, brother and nephew are all John.
