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.

That's a very difficult one. Both lovely names.

I prefer Rosa but I think Eliza Joy sounds better.

I agree, but take OP's point that not often said together.

Eliza

Bit less popular than the Rose names

Rosa

My daughter is Rosa so it's obviously my favourite name! Joy was on our list as well but we got strong negative feedback about it.
It's refreshing to see someone who shares my views on middle names - I think they should have meaning (usually for family) and agree they won't often be said. To me it's much less important that middle names "flow" so long as they're meaningful. Our daughter is Rosa Helen. All that being said, I think Rosa Joy is nice!

I love the name Rosa but agree with a pp that it sounds like I’m saying ‘rows of joy’.
Not hugely keen on Eliza but it does go well with Joy.

Rosa. But Eliza id quite nicet too. Not keen on Joy. But nothing wrong with it.

Thank you everyone! I am super happy with the fact most people seem to like both Rosa and Eliza! I can't seem to decide, so might try them both out on her when she arrives 😍 thanks so much!

another one who loves both! My DD’s have Elizabeth and Rosa as middle names.

I actually like the flow of Rosa Joy! If you’re ever saying a full name, you’re not usually pronouncing it like a hyphened name, there’s usually a pause (eg at a wedding or graduation) so it’d be more like Rosa. Joy. Smith with to me eliminates the whole rows of joy thing ?!
