Tips

usage
莲雅 functions both as a phonetic transliteration (Lenya, Lyana, etc., showing up in dubbed novels and games) and as a hand-picked Chinese given name. As a Chinese name it joins (lotus, a Buddhist purity symbol) with (elegant) - a classic flower-plus-virtue construction popular for girls (also see 雪莲, 莲心).
memory
Sound it out: (lián) + (yǎ) ≈ 'lien-ya' → Lenya/Lyana. The character ending is also used in 玛雅 (Maya) and 阿雅 (Aya).
