It is the only -ella/-bella name that I like and I absolutely love it. I too hate Ella and Bella as nicknames and that would probably stop me ever using it for a real life child. I just could not deal with having a kid who could feasibly become a Bella...ick. I have a niece named Arabella and I see her all the time so it is pretty much out for me anyhow. She gets called Ara for short which I think is sweet but I prefer it without a nickname.
