I think it's absolutely magnificent. It's easily in my top 10 for girls...I like the combo Arabella Jane. It's very English, and very aristocratic, and I think it's great that it's finally coming back into popularity after 100 years of obscurity. I can see this name on anyone. Yeah, I wouldn't use a nickname for it...especially not Ella. And Bella, as cool as Bella Cullen is, well Bella's also the name of a labradoodle I know of and the nickname of Bellatrix Lestrange...although I suppose she kind of makes it punky. Ella's just too trendy for my tastes. But you keep on loving Arabella! Maybe one day you'll name your daughter this, thus adding one more beautiful name to the world!
