They are both so nice I can't decide.

But if it were my baby, I would go with Arabella, because I have a thing about names that begin and end with A.

Cecily Westward sounds a bit sssss-y.

Blooooooody iPhone.

If Cecily Westward has a lisp she'll be Thethily Wethtward which sounds awful.

The worst I can make from Arabella is Awabella which sounds quite cute.

Cecily. Arabella is a bit too much IMO.

Arabella.

(we are taking it in turns now

cecily is nice but doesn;t work with your surname IMO. Like frakkinuts says, it's too "ss-y", try saying it out loud a few times its a bit of a tongue twister.
