It's very interesting!
But ... it's ugly to me. The obdu- part, too much like Latin words that are familiar.
It seems like etymology-wise it should probably be Abdulia, and that's more appealing to me aesthetically.

It sounds like a good name for a Queen in a fantasy novel.

Immediately makes me think about obduction (in the medical sense). So I personally really don't like it. But it seems the word isn't used much in English so it might not matter much. Still to me it seems very violent.

Sounds like some sort of mystical realm, or the queen of that realm. Cool...

Oh, I've always loved Obdulia. It sounds so ancient and...hermetic.

It sounds like the name of a cousin from the Addams family. I'm into it.

Obdurate is my first thought. I’m not a fan.

ObductionAutopsy is what I think of. Not a very pleasant connection.

I am not keen to the b and d aside each other as it feels a bit harsh in sound. But it does have a nice aesthetic look to it.
