Arabella is the only name on your girl list I like. You may also like Araceli. ;)
Riley seems a bit odd next to the frillier feminine names like Arabella and Alexia, so it doesn't really seem to fit your style, though it IS the same style as Jadon -- the proper spelling, btw -- from your boy list (just an observation).
FWIW, you don't have to actively try to use a J mn just because you want to call him "JJ." I'm sure you've known, say, a Jason, called Jay or Jay Jay/JJ at some point in your life. The name literally starts with the "Jay" sound. As such, Jay would be a natural shortening, and JJ an obvious pet form when he's young.
It'd be one thing if you actually wanted to use a certain J mn. If John was the name of your beloved grandfather, for example. But you really don't need to purposefully use a J name just to make your intended nn make more sense. To be quite honest, J names tend to have such strong sounds, I don't think they work well together to begin with (and found Britney's Jayden James rather comical, especially next to the relatively classy choice she was first rumored to have used).

Let's start with girls:
Arabella Marie- Arabella is very pretty, Marie is boring.
Alexia Christine- The Alex- names are very overdone...
Riley Alexis- Riley is very outdated. How about Shelby or Calla nn Callie? They have a similar feel.
As for mn's, Marie and Christine especially are both very filler and boring, and Alexis is so trendy. Do you want some suggestions for mn's or are you set on those? Do you have any family names you could use?
Arabella Simone or Arabella Charlotte are both beautiful :)
Now moving on to boys...
PLEASE avoid Jayden! UGH. Or, if you MUST use it, spell it properly- Jadon. Or even Jaden is better. But really, all the -aden names are trendy, overdone, and will soon to be outdated.
If you want nn JJ, how about:
Jeremiah
Jameson
Joaquin
Jasper
Jace
Jonah
Jonas
Jeremy
HTH,
-Nikki
Jayden Jones
Jayden Jared
Jayden Joseph
Jayden Jamison
Jayden Jack
Jayden JAckson
Jayden Joshua
Jayden Josiah
