My 2.5 year old is [name]Arabella[/name] (or [name]Bella[/name] for short). I’m currently 6 months pregnant with bub #2. We are pretty much OK for boys names…but struggling with girls names. We want something shorter than [name]Arabella[/name], or else it’s too much a mouthful to say both. But something equally as unique, elegant and strong. Thanks!
I’d go with something still pretty girly in order to maintain a match.

I love [name]Arabella[/name] and [name]Francesca[/name]- then you could call them [name]Bella[/name] and [name]Frances[/name] for short (however, I’m a little biased towards [name]Frances[/name], as you can tell from my user name). 
Beautiful shorter names that go well with [name]Arabella[/name].
