SYNOPSIS
In Addams' cartoons, which first appeared in The New Yorker, Wednesday and other members of the family had no names. When the characters were adapted to the 1964 television series, Charles Addams gave her the name "Wednesday", based on the nursery rhyme line, "Wednesday's child is full of woe". The idea for the name was supplied by the actress and poet Joan Blake, an acquaintance of Addams. Wednesday is the sister of Pugsley Addams (and, in the 1993 movie Addams Family Values, Pubert Addams) and as such the only daughter of Gomez and Morticia Adams. In earlier adaptations she is the younger sister of Pugsley, and in later adaptations she becomes the older one.
