The Japanese word for dragonfly is 蜻蛉 ... it has many different readings, for example "Seirei" or "Akizu", but those aren't names afaik.
Taking both kanji seperately they can be read as "Rei" or "Sei", pretty common names, pronounced more or less like "ray" or "say". But Ray is not all that creative and "say" a bit weird .... else "Aki" is also possible, which also means "autumn".
Else some words that mean dragonfly and could work as names: Libelle (Libella?), Libelinha, Libelula ........ but probably too extreme ^^;;
