I just found some pages about the name 'Livian.' Apparently, there was a woman of this name in Christian mythology:
http://www.lanceasanctum.org/The_Livian_Heresy
However, this is far from a complimentary use of the name; here, Livian is the mother of the guy who pierced Jesus with The Spear of Destiny. :p

http://www.classics.und.ac.za/reviews/03-16mue.htm uses the name only in passing, for its readers are presumed to have knowledge of its significance.

http://books.google.com/books?id=k9B_KFprdIwC&pg=PA77&dq=Livian&sig=ACfU3U1dVPgSM-yfgOvAFXa0Uk5P-Z61Tg indicates that 'Livian' is a type of woman, "Cardboard Characters in Feminine Attire," but neither these, nor any other source I have examined actually states what 'Livian' actually is or was! :mad:
