I have a cousin with the same name as you, but spelled different, and she mostly goes by her full name. She also goes by
Callie (sorry), or just
Cal.
I'm surprised to hear
Lia has problems because that's a very simple name... and, honestly, even basic names like
Sara will sometimes be misheard when ordering out or whatever. Hell, give them a fake name if it's that troublesome. When I lived in Miami a lot of the local food places had staff whose first language was something other than English and most of them had a lot of trouble with my name,
Tabitha, so I was
Cat (as in
Tabby Cat) for a lot of deliveries.
Other places know me as
Talitha or
Tanith because they misheard
Tabitha. But it's just food delivery so I don't bother correcting because it doesn't matter.
Just choose a name you like and use that. Use a different name for each restaurant. Do whatever you want, live your best life, be whoever you want to be lol
