Wendy Mass: Hello. My name is Wendy Mass. It's pronounced Mass like Massachusetts, not Moss. Not sure why people pronounce it as Moss, but many people do, but it's Mass. When I was 12 I went to Ellis Island and they have those computers where you can put your name in there. It told me that Mass a derivation of a word in Hebrew that meant bookseller. Which I thought was great since even at 12 I always wanted to be a writer, so that made me feel good that it was a part of my name.
