Baby girl name - stuck between 2

Hi! Me and my partner are stuck between 2 names for our first baby - a girl. We've finally narrowed it down from a massive list but are now totally stuck.
Middle name Jean after my grandma
So it's either

Aria Jean

(I like the meaning 'air' and it's a very pretty name that goes well with the surname and it is also similar to my gran's name Maria (Italian))

Or
Rosie Jean

(My favourite flower and think the name is really pretty and it goes well with surname)

Thoughts, anyone?

Rosie Jean
Something about Aira just doesn't flow, unless I'm getting the pronunciation wrong...

Of the two, Rosie Jean for me, but I’d go for Rosa Jean which would be a nice nod to your Italian heritage.

Rosie a really lovely name. Suits child and woman. Aria is the other end of every possible name-spectrum for me.

Rosie is lovey. Aria is a bit too GOT for me personally

Rosie - I think Aria will really date

Rosalie Jean
Rose Jean
Rosamunde Jean

Thanks for your help everyone! Really appreciate it. It's good to hear other people's opinions on this.

I do see your points about Aria and it's raised that there are possibly issues with pronunciation (Ah-ree-ah) as people may say A-ria instead? I do think it's pretty though and like the meanings... seems like people like Rosie more though but I'm not a big fan of the alternatives as I think they sound a little dated for me, personally. Although I would possibly consider Rosa as my living Italian grandma would appreciate this with it being her sister's name Smile. Rosie seems like the popular choice out of the 2 options Smile thanks again!
