Rosa or Eliza?

[Buttercup2023]

Not long left until baby girl arrives.
Middle name will be Joy after a family member, so what do people think of:

Rosa Joy
Eliza Joy

Single syllable surname.

Eliza.

Eliza

Eliza

Rosa

Eliza. Somehow Rosa doesn't go with Joy.

Eliza but both nice. Elize is also very nice

Agreed, even though I actually prefer Rosa, but not with Joy. Eliza is lovely though.

Rosa

Both nice but I think Rosa is better. My imaginary DD is Rosa.

I have an Elizabeth Joy and my other daughter has Rosa as a middle name. So great names! Eliza Joy works best I think.

I wouldn't have chosen Joy after having had and experienced the child 😂 she is not always a Joy. My first born. But it is a lovely name.

That's interesting a couple of you do not think Rosa goes with Joy. I don't think I am overly worried about that as it is not often people say their whole name, I know I don't, most people would have no idea what my middle name is. We are using Joy as a nod to a grandparent.

I prefer Rosa but I think Eliza Joy sounds better.

😆 I was reluctant to choose a virtue name as it does feel like a lot for the child to live up to! I don't think anyone is a Joy all the time haha!! Hopefully it won't be too much pressure for her 🙈 thank you though, I may rethink it, but I know it will make one of our parents very happy to use it too, tricky!

I really like them both! Sorry, no help.

It is actually really helpful! The last time I posted with a list of completely different names, they got awful feedback 🤣 I had to rethink everything! So it is nice to know both names seem like a good choice!

Rosa. Not keen on Eliza. S
Middle names aren't used much.
Does Rosa Surname look and sound ok?

When I say Rosa joy it sounds like I am saying rows of joy. So based on that I would say Eliza I don’t necessarily think it’s a nicer name.

Eliza

Rosa. My friend's daughter is called Eliza and it just constantly gets shortened to Liza which sounds very dated.

Both lovely.
Joy is a lovely middle name too - she brings you joy, she doesn’t need to be a joy all the time!

Both lovely but Eliza( just) I think

Rosa

I prefer Rosa, although I do think Eliza sounds better paired with Joy but as you say, people don't often use their full name! I think Rosa just sounds a bit fresher... there's so many E names at the moment like Ella, Ellie, Eleanor etc and Eliza just blends in..also has a similar sound to names like Lila, Lyra, Isla!

I think if it's just a middle name then go with Rosa, as you say people won't always be saying it out loud but if it's one name as in Rosa-Joy then go with Eliza 😊 but I prefer Rosa as a name

I wouldn’t even consider how the first and middle name go together unless there was an obvious issue with it sounding like a rude word or something. Like you say they won’t be said together. What’s important is the name they’ll be called day to day.

I really like both Rosa and Eliza. I’d choose Eliza.
