    I dont think its rid ee uh because the japanese language doesnt have a "rih" sound, only a "ree" sound

    "REE-DAH" sounds about right to me.
    Yes.

    I've attached a screen shot of the default name that they give her in the japanese version. Translating that into "romanicized" characters it would be "ri-di-a" or "ree-dee-ah" with the soft "r", almost an "l", as it is pronounced in japanese. so it could be Ridia or Lidia, depending upon how you wanted to translate it.

    Rydia= Rid-ee-uh

    Yep, that's how i say it.. No ah, like the doctor. just uh.. Rid-ee-uh spoken like a true american. And i doubt the names are pronounced anywhere the same in japanese as they are in English. It could be pronounced like Fuki-kara. WHO KNOWS?! I still think its rid-ee-uh.
