The best thing about the name Wendy:
It's associated with a popular novel. It can derive from the longer name Gwendolyn. Contrary to popular belief, it's a fairly unused name. Probably only one or two Wendys in a school year, workplace, etc.
The worst thing about the name:
Having a fast food chain using the name doesn't help very much sometimes. Although name calling or jokes involving the name is fairly rare. Once every nine or so years? It depends on the maturity of the age group I suppose.
If my name wasn`t Wendy....:
I would simply have a different name.
Extra information:
In truth, a name does make up a person. It can actually shape how another person may view you before the first encounter. For instance, someone with a name associated with the devil may have some resentment towards him or her without ever having met. In general, aside from the first face to face a person's personality, connections, and mannerisms can come to shape the name for others. If a person meets another Wendy later in life, they may use the first Wendy as a template for the new Wendy. So...make a good first impression.
