Livna is sweet, I like it.
Have you got sources for the others?

Arianwen (and Arianrhod) are both in "A Dictionary of First Names" by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges (OUP, 1988).
I came across levana on the Net, but it appears to be genuine, and used in Israel. (I googled; in fact, when in doubt I google images!).
I first came across Vanora (sorry, I misspelled it earlier) this week - in "A Dictionary of First Names" (1990; ISBN 1 85605 3407)under Jennifer (page 133) as a Scottish variant. There's no author's name on the title page, but the verso says Copywright 1990 J. Cresswell. It looks like a well-researched book, not given to flights of fancy.

Levana is indeed legit. It has been used for centuries, sometimes with the secular Luna.

Cool, thanks :-)
I google for images to verify usage too - glad it's not just me!
