<P> 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 well - known nursery rhyme line , `` Wednesday 's child is full of woe '' . She is the sister of Pugsley Addams ( and , in the movie Addams Family Values , also the sister of Pubert Addams ) , and she is the only daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams . </P>
