Wanda

I'm probably biased cause I'm Polish but I prefer the Polish pronunciation (Van-da) to the English one (Wahn-dah). Both are lovely though.

I love the name Wanda. It sounds so magical and fun and as a Marvel fan it makes me think of Wanda Maximoff who is the most powerful Avenger! I would definitely name my daughter Wanda! It’s an amazing name!

I used to associate this name with Wanda from Fairly Odd Parents. Not the kind of name I'd personally use, as it reminded me so much of a cartoon, in which it was used in a punny way, but I still loved to run into real usage of it. It was quirky and unusual but with a plain sound and an overall vintage vibe.

I now heavily associate this name with a show I never even saw far more than the show I did, and if I never hear or see this name again, I'll be very happy.

When I hear this name I think of Wanda Maximoff, and I think she is the COOLEST! She one of my favorite Avengers with Natasha Romanoff too. (I do make an exception because Gamora isn’t one of my all time faves but she is a guardian of the Galaxy) if you were thinking of naming your child this, I say that you should!

Wanda, what a beautiful name. I love it so much. Wanda Maximoff has the greatest name ever. For all the Wanda's who think their name is ugly, it's not, it's beautiful and you should be so happy to have such a wonderful name.

It is kinda dorky, but in a cute way.

I used to watch The Fairly Odd Parents but I stopped due to my religious beliefs. However, I still like this name, and if I create a fictional franchise in the future, I might name a prominent girl Wanda.

Unpleasent.

I'm Australian, I'm a Wanda. Ugly is as says/does. Wan da not Wand er. Syllables/grammar. Grammar not gramma, the last one is a squash, the first how we write/speak. English lessons come in handy even for those of us where it is our language of origin.

Not very pretty.

I think of Wanda Maximoff when I think of this name so to me it seems badass or magical.

Fairly Odd Parents is the reason I like this name.

I’m a Wanda and I see a lot of negative comments from people judging without knowing the person. The same can be said about them. How many people are in jail and happen to have anyone’s name on this message board. It’s so ridiculous. Your character is what makes you and how you treat others - not your name. You can have the sweetest name and be a con artist and a low life.

I'm Australian & Wanda just sounds like how we'd say wander but other than that, I don't care for the name.

I just think the name Wanda sounds so ugly... just my opinion.

It is dated to mid-20th century babies, but is basically a good name, and will probably come back into style one day. My coworker Wanda is around 55 years old and she is charming and generous. I do not understand why people have to say such rude things like "ghetto," "redneck," and "hillbilly." Those are human beings you're talking about. It only reflects horribly on YOU to call people such slurs.

I think it’s a cute name. I also have a whale shark stuffed animal named Wanda.

I'm a Wanda. I've never really enjoyed the name until recently. Nicknames throughout middle school were "Vonda, Honda, Hyundai, Wanders," Didn't really bother me at all. It just felt like such a 'blah' and meaningless name. Oh, and everybody would ask, "Have you seen the movie, A Fish Called Wanda?" That was probably the most irritating. Because I hadn't and didn't care to either. I'm not sure if people would ask that these days, being that it's such an old movie?

"Thank you" to all of you who expressed positive comments to the name "Wanda". My Dad chose this name for me 68 years ago! I am a very sweet person and am referred to as "Grandmother" by two precious granddaughters and several other grandchildren who love me because their Mom chose to marry one of my sons! If this is your name, wear it with pride as I do!

Unique and magical sounding. I'd use it.

It sounds like Elmer Fudd trying to say "Rhonda."

When I was 7, I wanted to name future brother/sister Cosmo and Wanda. I wish I was joking. This name is okay but I can't imagine a little girl named Wanda.

I don't mind this name, I think it could be a great name on the right person. It has sort of a magical sound about it, possibly because it sounds like "wand", but nevertheless, quite a nice name in reflection. :)

I don't like this name. It sounds like the name of a mean old lady.

I like this name, but whenever I hear it I picture Wanda from The Fairly OddParents yelling "COSMO! YOU IDIOT!"

The name is borderline trashy and sounds annoying in many people's pronunciation. It sounds like the name of a rather unpleasant and obese middle-aged woman.

This isn't one of my favorite names, it is cold and unfriendly sounding.
