Vanda - a form of Wanda in a few different languages. Wanda means "wanderer". Vanda is also a species of orchid.

NOT SURE WHICH GENDER

Dowdell - Old English, either from "dow", which derives from "dufe" meaning "a dove" or from "do" which derives from "da" meaning "a doe" and "dael" meaning "a valley". So the name either means "dove valley" or "doe valley", or more romantically "valley of doves" or "valley of does". Dowdell is an English surname, but I encountered it being used as a first name. I consulted the book Surnames of the United Kingdom: A Concise Etymological Dictionary by Henry Harrison for this information.
