Just that really! Maisie Eliza Rose or Maisie Rose Eliza?

Maisie Eliza Rose. Definitely!

(Pretty name btw)

Nope, Maisie Rose Eliza. Otherwise the 'ee' sound at the end of Maisie and the 'eh' sound at the beginning of Eliza kind of bump into each other. and the two names kind of merge. Say it out loud. Whereas putting Rose in the middle separates it out nicely. Nice names!

I personally think the Rose Eliza makes it sound like one word. Like Rosaliza.

I prefer the flow of Maisie Eliza.

Maisie Eliza Rose, unless your surname begins with a "C", otherwise the initials would spell MERC.

You say that, but I think the first version could sound like Maizeliza Rose,
and that's more likely than Rosaliza. Whereas the second one is Maisie Rose (stop) Eliza. I guess it's all a bit academic really. The OP should say each version aloud over and over and decide from that.

I think I prefer Eliza Rose but I really can't make my mind up because DD1 gets called by her first 2 names and I prefer Maisie Rose to Maisie Eliza.

Maisie Eliza Rose is definitely the better of the two.

Eliza Rose is lovely, true. Maisie Rose is also lovely. But Maisie Eliza Rose doesn't flow.

In truth, I'm not sure either flow particularly well. Maisie Rose Eliza sounds marginally better I think. If your surname begins with D, you risk getting MERD, which is not great if she ends up living in France...

Or drop the Maisie, as Eliza Rose is lovely by itself.
