(a) Ibaraki Prefecture 茨城 県
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8C%A8%E5%9F%8E%E7%9C%8C
(茨城という名は、一説に、賊を討つために茨の城(柵)を築いたことに由来)
translation: Some say the name came from a palisade erected with briar
(i) ibara 茨; 荊; 棘 【いばら】 (n): "thorny shrub"
(ii) ki 柵; 城 【き】 (n): "fortress (surrounded by a wall, moat, etc)"
Compare 城 as castle with (A) as Japanese pronunciation and (B) as Chinese pronunciation:
(A) shiro 城 【しろ】 (n): "castle"
(B) jō 城 【じょう】 (suf[fix]): "castle (in place names)"
(b) Leena りいな 梨衣名
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A2%A8%E8%A1%A3%E5%90%8D
(1990- ; 日本のファッションモデル。中国出身の日本育ちで、本名は『李チェンイ』(李建伊)。170センチメートル、84-59-86。女性誌『CanCam』の人気専属モデル)
translation: a professional model in Japan. Born in China as 李 建伊 and raised in Japan. 170cm, 84-59-86. Women magazine CanCam's popular exclusively-signed model.
(i) CanCam

(ii) りいな is pronounced "ri-na" (where "-" signifies a long vowel of "i"). (五十音 does not have the letter "L"--"R" only.)
The り "ri" and い "i" are Chinese pronunciation for 梨 and 衣, respectively--and な "na" is Japanese pronunciation for 名. Naturally 梨衣名 is not a given name or surname in Japan; it is just a professional name (花名 or 藝名 in Taiwan).
