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

Budingen

Zettie

Bedinger  this was the middle name of an American female poet, which is why I thought it was a female name. It is just a surname stuck in the middle after all. It is German and derives from the city of Budingen.

Budingen coat of arms

*side note genealogy-wise. This lends credence to my idea that the name Dellet is a surname indicating the town that family was from. I have now come across at least a few German surnames of this sort.

Calceolaria- Latin, from 'calceolus' meaning 'small shoe', this is a genus of plants, a kind of orchid. I thought it might make a nice name. It's more commonly called lady's slipper.

BOYS

Elbert -  Old English, meaning "noble, bright.

Heman

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.
