I have been really loving the name [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] but for nicknames I really prefer [name_f]Belle[/name_f] over [name_f]Bella[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you guys think [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is an ok nickname for [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]? I even considered the name [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] but while I think its pretty I instinctively want to end it with the -bella, but for nicknames I instinctively forgo the -a

[name_f]Belle[/name_f] works as a nickname, though if I was an [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], I’d rather just go by [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]. It’s not exactly a cumbersome name.

Sure, I think that’s fine. I’ve encountered a few Isabellas nn [name_f]Belle[/name_f] so I don’t see why it couldn’t work for [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]

[name_f]Belle[/name_f] is a great nickname!! I would keep [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], too, as it doesn’t matter— the “belle” sound is still there! I also like [name_u]Ara[/name_u], [name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_u]Aria[/name_u], Bells, [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]!

I know this thread is like really old but my close friend is called [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] and we call her Arab
Yes! I love [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] is nicer than [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is nicer than [name_f]Bella[/name_f] (for me, personally), so I think it works!
The [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] I know doesn’t use a nickname, however.
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] is great! I know an [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] who goes by Beltsik
