In central California there are apparently two waypoints with the same sounding name. PONDD (near Bakersfield) and PONND (near Fresno).  This led me to inadvertently input the wrong waypoint (PONND instead of PONDD) into my navigator on departure from FAT. Recommend a review of the two way points for renaming or deletion of one to avoid future confusion for pilots and ATC.
Pilot flying in ZOA airspace reported a navigation error due to two waypoints in the same geographic area with similar names - PONDD and PONND.
