[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is a cute name, but in an English language setting, I think [name_f]Lidia[/name_f] would mean she’d often have to spell her name out. I would really think about why you’d choose an alternative spelling (e.g. does it have personal significance?) otherwise you are leading her to a life of correcting people over and over.
