SOOOO pretty! And you hardly ever hear any girls named this. I'm so surprised this name hasn't got to be like an Olivia because of how beautiful it is. Up vote this if you think we should get more Lidia's in the world!
The spelling Lidia is far prettier than the original Lydia. I quite like this name, especially paired with Pearl or Rose. I think Lidia Pearl and Milia Rose would make good twin names.
I love, love, love this name! I know I've said that about a lot of names, but I really, truly, do. I almost like this spelling better than the traditional one of Lydia. The Russian spelling, Lidiya, is also nice. I love to write stories set in various countries and I've used the name Lydia spelled many different ways in a lot of my stories. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being awful and 10 being wonderful, I'd give the name Lidia and 10 1/2. :)
