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.
