in the real world, its because legends and stories tend to change. in the Jim verse, its probably a mantle thing.

Where does it say that? Is it a WoJ? Because I don't remember anything in the books concerning Lea's other names.

I think operating a wizard while you're dead is probably kind of a hinderance. The most obvious example of this would be the Darkhallow. The strength of the recipient gains more and more power by absorbing (or eating) the power of others. It results in the human residents within a five mile radius having their life pulled right out of them into the recipient as well. It seems to me that there is a definite relationship between life and magical power.
I'd counter that the fact that Mavra can perform any magic at all (including flawless veils, multiple thralls, mind communication, and dazzling illusions) suggest that Mavra was a real powerhouse before she was turned to the Black Court.
On a side note, her pageboy Hamlet hair reflects about 500 AD. Which was supposed to be about the time of the Pendragons.

According to wikipedia, the pageboy style was popular in the 60s.

Check out the Hairstyles of the Romanticism Era (about 900 AD) which would be about the time Morgana would have come of age as a wizard.
--- Quote ---...the ordinary citizens had their hair in page-boy style, short or chin-length.
