Giuditta
Giuditta ("joo-DEE-tuh" / "joo-DEET-uh," in my American accent, roughly) has been on my list for a while, but lately I've been taken with its operatic glamor. I like Ditta (Dita) as a nickname. What do you think?
Some combos:
Giuditta Silvia

Giuditta Flavia

Indeed, "operatic" is a wonderful word to describe it. A nice little gem mixed in with what's currently trending.
I don't like it
I speak Italian and if you are going for the Italian pronunciation both Ts should be voiced. Jyoo-DEET-tah.
I don't think it's anything special.

I understand that, but it's not really practical in an English-speaking context. I guess I'm approximating how it would be pronounced by speakers of English as a first/primary language.

If it's not practical in English, why even use the Italian form? You're taken by 'operatic glamor' of an Italian name but don't want to pronounce it correctly.😄
Sorry but I think the made up English pronunciation sounds dreadful next to the Italian.

I don't know if it's fair to call the pronunciation "made up". It's just how many English speakers would naturally try to say it. To say someone shouldn't even LIKE a name if they can't say it perfectly is silly.
