name of the day

Ligia (f).  Pron: Gee-ah.  The "Li" is silent.  My mother got a call from her while we were on the phone.

Is it possible she just meant that her full name is Ligia but she goes by Gia?

it's possible but if i just wanted people to call me an abbreviated form of my name, i wouldn't say that the first syllable is silent
