Arabella is lovely.

Clarabella sounds like a character from the Sound of Music.

I prefer Isobel or just Bella

I prefer Arabella. Yes, Ara can be a nickname for this.

Clara is nice, it doesn't need "bella" on the end. Also like Claribel, it's not quite as frilly as Clarabella.

I like Arabella.

Clarabella looks like you couldn't make your mind up.

lol, yes is a bit bovine!

Think you need an 'm' in the name for Mabel as a nn.

i think a nickname would end up being Bella, with these two, as it naturally falls off the tongue.

arabella is nicer
