Arabella, Aurora, Ariane

[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] – I love this name, she’s so elegant and musical! The combo [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous as well, especially with the homage to your grandmother. In general, this one is definitely my personal favorite “Ari” name.
With your other names, I think [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] stylistically matches super well with [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] because of their regal but soft feel, and she sounds fine with [name_f]Claire[/name_f] but maybe outshines her a little (maybe you could do [name_f]Clarimond[/name_f] or [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] here, with the nicknames [name_m]Ari[/name_m] & Claire?). The repetition of the “ell” sound makes [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] a little too similar to [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] & [name_f]Adele[/name_f] for me (especially if they’re all in one sibset). However, if you just had an [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] & [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], who went by [name_m]Ari[/name_m] & [name_f]Issy[/name_f] primarily, I don’t think I’d mind it too much – the connection might be cute for sisters?

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] – Another beautiful choice with great meaning! [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] definitely fits stylistically with all of your other names (especially Evangeline!), so that’s definitely a plus. Some middle name ideas…
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] (a lovely meaning – blind faith in the dawn!)
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Maelys[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Sigrid[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f]

[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] – This feels like a lovely, more mystical twist on [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] – so princess-y but down to earth and friendly as well! I think this name is definitely the best compromise between all your other names and really balances them all out, aligning with the simplicity of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] but also matching the romanticism of [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. I also think this choice is the least stretchy way to get to Ari… and I actually think this one is my favorite for you!!
Some middle name combos… I’m loving the floral route here (Ariane [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f] is so dreamy!), but I’ve included some other suggestions too:
[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] [name_f]Lovejoy[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] [name_f]Celestia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f]

[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] [name_f]Violetta[/name_f]

Overall, my favorite for you is definitely [name_f]Ariane[/name_f], with [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] as a close runner up! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped!
