Is it too close to Olivia? Will she have to correct people all the time?

It's a beautiful name, especially when pronounced the Italian way - Leevia. I say go for it!

I'm wondering what accent you need to hear "labia" - I don't hear it at all.
I do think that because Olivia is so popular it will get confused for it. I'd prefer something a bit more distinct like Lydia.

I think it sounds a bit incomplete a name by itself.

Olivia would naturally get shorted to Liv/Livia etc by friends/teachers etc

Yes. That, or they'll think she's called Lydia.

Thank you for all of your comments. It's still my front runner but DH isn't completely sold!

Lovely!

It's lovely but the two Livias I know are actually Olivia - I'm guessing there will be corrections.

I know a Livia and I've always loved it!
