What do you think of the name Arabelle? Belle or Bella for short.

I prefer Arabella. Arabelle seems a bit unfinished to me. Have you considered Ariana or Aubrey?

How are you saying it? Air-a-belle or Ara-belle? I like it either way, just curious.

We did think of Ariana, but that makes me think of Arianna Huffington almost immediately, so that got nixed. Hadn't considred Aubrey, but that's cute, too. Honestly, I didn't like Arabelle at first (my husband found the name), but it really grew on me the more I turned it over in my head. I thought of making her middle name Jeanne (or some other J name) and then she'd have lots of nickname options - Belle, Bella or AJ. It's a name she could really fit to her own personality as she gets older.

Oh, and Arabelle means "Beautiful Eagle", which is pretty cool.

This is our first, so it's been fun going through the naming process! :)

It would be pronounced "Air-a-belle"
