final decision on character name

Alright I am planning a new short story that may or may not develop into a novel. I am currently at a stand still because I cannot decide on one of the biggest parts of the story, the main character's name.
A character's name can stand for nothing, but in some of the greatest novels of all time, the name was a symbol. Example, John is a very common name and is usually used to stand for a male character that was very normal but turned extraordinary. Using the name of a God/Goddess, showed the character has power or is a leader.
So now you know why I am stuck. I did some research on female names in order to find the perfect one for my character. I know the names that follow all have different meanings, but I'm still in the developing stage so I need some sort of idea of how I want my character to act.
I cannot decide which to use. Here is the list that I came up with:

Jess
Riley
Mia
Mai
Levanna
Levinna
Rayna
Gina

It'd probably be more helpful if we knew what kind of personality the main character has. *shrug* It always works to give a character a name that suits their personality above all, regardless of meaning. Different names have different "feels" to them, after all. For example, I'd say "Jess" is more of a tomboyish, active name for a girl, while "Levanna" is a name for a more flighty, girly character.

So yeah, let us know her personality, then it'll be easier to choose a name for her.

I personally like Rayna, as it seems pretty unique to me. But it's your character, so it's your choice.

Why stay at a standstill?

Write the story! The character herself is more important than the name. The name's a label. Let the persona develop as you write...use a random 'working name' for your character, and as she develops I guarantee you eventually she'll give herself a suitable name.

But from the list, I like "Jess."

It really does depend on the personality but I'm liking Riley, Mai, and Rayna.
Good luck

thank for the help.
and Teufelshund, thanks for the advice, but the when I write, for some reason I need the character names, ages, and descriptions beofre i begin.

My intuition says Mai, but Gina comes in second place.

I don't like these:

Levanna
Levinna
Rayna


They're a bit too weird. I can't believe an average character named that.

It can also depend on the storyline. For example, If you're writing a real world fantasy(such as harry potter or twilight) you will most likely want an ordinary name.
other fantasy gives you more room for picking an individual, unique name.
science fiction usually supports a full range, from your Toms, Dicks, and Harrys, to Serana.
