Re: *does a little dance*
Shani Ruxandra was the first thing I thought of, actually! Unfortunately, Ruxandra is currently my number-two for given names (Katharine in a close third), and I sort of balk at looking at it as a mn, since I like it so well as a fn. ^^;;I really like some of these other ones, too. Shani Guinnevere, Shani Ophelia (I'm really feeling Shani Ofelia, wdyt?), Shani Wilhelmina, Shani Arietta, Shani Lilith...these are just ace.I'm digging Lavnina and Lilach, but I'm going to have to give them some more thought--I've never seen either before. :)Array (is going to be totally converted to the pretty-Hebrew-girl-names train because of you :D)

As far as I know, Lilach doesn't mean "you are mine" - when I was researching the origins of Lilah, both Lilach and Lilakh turned up as alternative Hebrew transcriptions of it. They all mean Lilac as far as I can tell.

Lilach is Hebrew for lilac, but it is also a word meaning 'you are mine'. Alternatively, in Hebrew, Lila(h) (it all depends on the pronunciation of that last 'H') is 'she is mine', but it can also be a word relating to the lilac.
