It's just a simplified spelling of Gioia. Which is fine in languages, like Italian, where fem names end in -a; in English, I much prefer Joy and would use it IRL.

When I was eight I thought I was the first person to invent this name lol. I do love the sound and it is super sweet, but yeah, it’s pretty made up.

Don’t like it at all. Just use Joy.

It mainly looks like Gioia anglicized, to me. I think it sounds nice, as ebullient as Joy but more flowy.

It also vaguely reminds me of Zoya and Eartha.

It's nice! It has a precedent in Gioia, pronounced the same way, which I've always liked.

It sounds happy
