This is my mom's name, except she spells it Yvonda, and the "Y" is silent. We get lots of calls asking for "Yuh-vond-duh". But I think this is a really pretty name. And unique! I definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking for an uncommon name.

This is also my mom's name (only spelt Vonda). Her mother got the name out of a book she had read. She often gets called Vanda or Wanda, but regardless, I have never came across another Vonda.
My name is Vonda. I love it! My mother saw it in a magazine in the 70's. There was a Miss Universe by that name. I wasnt born until 1980 but she liked it so much that she remembered it for 10 years until I was here. I couldn't imagine having any other name, and wouldn't want to for that matter.

It may be quite a modern name, but it already sounds like the name of a middle-aged, worn out, unpleasant, and obese woman. The name borders on trashy. It can sound quite annoying in some people's pronunciation.
My parents named me Vonda after a girl named Vonda from Live Oak Florida that my dad attended school with & had a huge crush on at Suwannee high school. I saw pictures of her from high school where she was a majorette & a cheer leader & thought she was pretty but finally met her in person not long ago & even though she was now in her 40's she was drop dead gorgeous. She had a slim tight figure, dark tan, & long blonde hair. She told me her parents named her after Dick Van Dyke's daughter, Vonda Kaye, who was 1965 Miss America, the year she was born! I love my name and am proud to be named after Vonda from Live Oak, Florida!
