I saw this car in traffic the other day and took a picture because the license plate made me laugh. There are probably a ton of Marvel fans out there who would covet it, even though the spelling is a little different from the mythical Wakanda. I did a little sleuthing and found out that Wakonda is the name of a country club in Des Moines. It's also the name of a shopping center there, so I gather there must be a neighborhood or district in Des Moines called Wakonda (any Iowans want to confirm that for me?). There is also a Wakonda State Park in Missouri, a town named Wakonda in South Dakota, a Wakonda Elementary School in Omaha, and so on. It seems to be quite a popular word in the American midwest!

I'm assuming your explanations fit it.
