I love it. The only think about Lidia is that it looks a little short to me. Lydia is definitely a full name, but Lidia looks like it could be short for Alidia or Elidia or something like that.

---

Lydia is fairly narrow, it's mature/badass feminine. Lidia can do that but it can also be a little more delicate because of the i, so it fits with tougher names like Bronimira and Eleonora and also frillier names like Celestina.

I like:
Lidia Avdotya
Lidia Azucena *
Lidia Bronimira
Lidia Casimira *
Lidia Celestina
Lidia Cosmina *
Lidia Eleonora *
Lidia Elvira
Lidia Fiammetta
Lidia Fortunata
Lidia Frederica - or Federica
Lidia Ginevra
Lidia Giovanna
Lidia Lucretia -- Whenever you post these lists I immediately delete all the repeating-initial combos, but I'm willing to let the double L slide for this one!
Lidia Maristella
Lidia Maurizia
Lidia Melisande *
Lidia Merofleda *
Lidia Nevena
Lidia Polissena
Lidia Proserpina **** this one is great. I also think that the shift from Lydia to Lidia is similar to the shift from Persephone to Propserpina. They shift in opposite directions and meet in the middle. Like, if left is harder and right is sweeter, it goes like: Lydia --> Lidia Proserpina

I dislike it quite a bit actually only for visual reasona. It looks unbalanced. I like having a -yd- so there's a below the letter and a tall letter side by side. Lidia looks more nicknamey to me.

Lidia Zuleika is amazing though.

It's been my recent favorite. I can't believe my husband doesn't like it. I like the 2 syllable pronunciation and he thinks it would be a constant battle (I know... it would be). So, I was semi reconciled to the 3 syllable pronunciation. But then I had this flash of recall of Pride and Prejudice and just hated the character Lydia, so I think it is officially out of the running.
Perfect name for me though, short, classic and beautiful.

Eta: and I much prefer the spelling Lidia. Don't like Lydia at all.

Lidia is fine, but I very much prefer Lydia. Lydia Eleonora and Lydia Rosalba would be my favorites.

I prefer Lydia, lovely name

I strongly prefer Lidia to Lydia. It looks so much nicer.

I love your Lidia Avdotya, Lidia Azucena, and Lidia Ulrika.

I think it looks misspelled. Sorry.

---

Lydia, however (which I, as a Dane, pronounce differently than I would Lidia), I really like.

I much prefer Lidia to Lydia, I just think Lydia looks so ancient (which some people like about it, just not me). It’s one of my favorite names, it’d definitely be on my short list if I were having a baby girl anytime soon.

Lidia Azucena and Lidia Ginevra are really pretty. I’d probably personally opt for a middle name that didn’t end in -a, since it makes it sound very princessy to me (which again, just isn’t my style).

I hate the name Lydia. It's too harsh and unfulfilling but Lidia looks like a gentle alternative to it. Middle names that end in a vowel look and sound best with Lidia I think.
