My name is Lawanda and I like it just fine. I think it is a beautiful name. I do not understand why my name would be so cruelly described. I am an African-American woman I was named by my aunt who is Gullah Geechee, my people derived from South Carolina, so I think that is what the name came from.

LaWanda Lindsey is an American country music singer.
I find Wanda to be a beautiful name. Regarding this name, it's not necessarily the supposed prefix that bothers me but just how displeasing it sounds. Perhaps someone with East Indian heritage, like "Lawanda" who commented could carry it differently, otherwise, I agree, this joins a specific category of tacky and unappealing names. Just don't spell it LaWanda or La Wanda and completely sink any redeemable qualities.
