Of course. Names associated with one gender may make their way to the other, and back. Look at all those British boys' names that sound like girls' names to American audiences.
It does break some of the non-binding rules about girls names. Vana -- ending in 'a' -- would be a more traditional form. Other possibilities include Vangella, Vanella, Vanessa, Vanetta ... Vaughn, which is sometimes a girl's name, usually a boy's name ... you are free to make your own, new traditions.

Sure... anything can be a girls name these days just like anything can be a boys name these days... So why not say that VAn can be a girls name!!!!

If it were me I'd give her the official name of Vana or Vanessa but call her and teach her to sign Van first.

Absolutely! Not only is it a name on its own, but there are plenty of girls' names that start with it.
