>...usagi actually fits less than the ones they gave her in english...
No, Usagi works best because she's supposed to be a Japanese schoolgirl who's a reincarnation of a Greek Goddess, not a Greek Goddess. She needs a Japanese name, not a Greek one.
"Tsukino Usagi" or "tsuki no usagi" meaning "rabbit of the moon" is just a pun, and while "Bunny" fits the pun, it's just not a good English name.
Victoria's a pretty good name, but it's link to British royalty seems a bit too forced, and it doesn't have any other meaning (unless they wanted to butcher her reasons for showing the V sign).
Serena isn't a great English name, but it's kind of nice, and works with the themes. It's too close to Serenity (which was another well-chosen original name) to be great, but it works.
