Clara and Caitlin are my favourites by a mile.

Really dislike Arabella and Primrose, they sound incredibly drippy.

I wouldn't use Ella or Bella on their own - short for Isabella is fine.

Caitlin

My faves from your list. I go by saying them out loud as though introducing myself and imagining what I'd prefer to be called.
