These two photos show the same name...really. The second one has some interference from the lower name. They look something like "Woythor"?

I would read the top image as Woytkowna and the second image with the spelling Wojtkowna. The suffix -owna indicates that she is a single young lady, "the daughter of..." The question then becomes was the masculine singular nominative of the surname Wojtek or Wojtko, either of which seems possible to me.
