I frankly thinks Arabella Chloe Della Robinson is preferable to my friend's other choice ( friend is preggo) of Madeleinia. (Mad-a-leeen-ee-a) Yuck. Madeline or Madlyn is one thing, but that mess of letters, I mean SHE can't even spell it. Two middles names aren't all that bad. She promised her grandmother the middle name would be Della. And I had her sold on Arabella, but Arabella Della is ridiculous. She liked Chloe too. So that ended up in there. This baby will hav e messaed up name!!
But if we just look at it as Arabella Robinson, nn Bella isn't that cute?

Now that is one heck of a name! Your right though better than the other option.

You're right Arabella Robinson nn Bella is way up there on the richter (sp?) scale of cuteness. But, I think you Aunty-Em are going to have to have an intervention.
It'll be dicey cause you're going up against a pregnant woman. You might want to grab something to sheild yourself from her wrath but you've gotta find a way to put the brakes on the naming spree. You can't just go around adding a name with a bazillion syllables just cause you can't decide on a favorite. A little snap-judgement in here but I think you get my intention.
Della means "of nobility". So can't she at least change it to something with a similar meaning? Surely her G-ma will understand. The choices are plentiful if she goes this route and still insists on a 2nd mn.
I vote for Chloe Della. All that -ella business to too much, and I don't tend to like the multiple middle name thing (with a few exceptions, when the names are just great, fit together, and all have some sort of significance). I vote for using the name she promised her grandmother she'd use, along with a first name that she likes and that fits with Della, and saving Arabella for the next one.
But sweet Lord, she could tack 5 or 6 more names onto it, and I'd still like it more than Madeleinia...I mean, what is that? It looks like some weird Mediterranean country, or maybe an allergy medication, or a cerebral disorder. It darn skippy does NOT look like a name, and she'd be in 5th grade before she sorted out all those vowels well enough to write her own name properly.
