Vayda

Inspiring and motivating, baby will always find a dash of encouragement with Vayda. Originating in Hungary and particularly popular in many countries across Eastern Europe, Vayda derives from vajda ("leader.") As a variant of Vaida and Vada, Vayda is perhaps best known in Anna Chlumsky's portrayal of Vada Sultenfuss in the My Girl movies of the early 90s. Anyone who has watched these films knows that despite facing many obstacles at a young age, she charged through grief, confusion, and adolescenthood to emerge as a strong and compassionate young woman. Already with a role model, perhaps your little Vayda will take a page or two from Vada Sultenfuss's book!
