similar names?

So, I heard the name Leela recently. Husband isn't sold on it, do you know of any similar names?

Calling all suggestions!

I have always loved the name Lydia. It's a family name, and I've liked every Lydia I've ever known.

Unfortunately, my husband (along with others I've noticed in this community) thinks it sounds too much like chlamydia.

I told him I always thought it would be sweet to have a daughter to call Liddy Bug. He actually LOVES that nickname. He even started to soften and be okay with Lydia, simply for the sake of that sweet nickname. Unfortunately, he has forever ruined it for me. Humph.

Can anyone suggest other first names that Liddy could be a nickname for?
