I am not really liking it simply because it looks confusing. However, there is a bit of familiarity with Gioia, the Italian name. So, I do like the sound.

Gioia is pronounced most closely to joy-uh (more correctly as jo-ee-ah, but said fast).

I find that Oia needs something... a consonant.

It's a place in Santorini (Greece). I think it's okay as a name, and Oia the town is beautiful.

Oia of Olay sprang to mind. :P

I almost hear it as "Oh yeah" or the very least "Oh ya!" Its over-simplicity is almost comical to me.

It seems oily to me. I can't say whether I like it or not, actually. I think it's the "make or break" type of name that'd depend on who and how it's used in practice. Right now I'm just neutral.

It's like saying 'Oi!' but then getting confused, all of a sudden, on what to say and ending up saying 'Uh...'
