I think it's pretty, but it's a little too frilly for my taste.

I like it but with the -Bella ending it goes from being unique to trendy.

It is really pretty but also trendy since Ivanka Trump named her daughter Arabella.

It is frilly, but that's not a bad thing! I think it's cute.

Its my brother's dog's name, so I automatically think of that.  I think Isabella is prettier, even though it is SOOOO popular.

That sounds like a nice pregnancy dream... last night I had my first labor dream. I dreamt I gave birth to two beautiful, healthy... puppies. Indifferent

 

Arabella is pretty, but I agree with the PP that it's a little frilly. And I don't like the nn Bella with Twilight and how popular the name has gotten in recent years.

December 2011: Missed m/c due to trisomy 13 (conceived naturally)... January 2012: DH and I found out we are both cystic fibrosis carriers... April 2012: First IVF with PGD cycle resulted in ectopic pg (May 2012)... August 2012: Second IVF with PGD cycle resulted in BFP... TWIN GIRLS!!! Lilypie First Birthday tickers

It's a little fancy and NMS, but it's pretty.

Maybe you could use it as a middle name?

I do not think it should go in the middle name spot just because it is frilly.

It is beautiful! If you love it, use it.

If it makes you feel any better, my son has been a dog in at least as many dreams as he's been a human Stick out tongue

OP, I think Arabella is very pretty, if slightly over the top. It wouldn't be my top choice but I wouldn't side eye it, either.

My neighbors have an Arabella.  I loved it when I met her and first heard the name. 

My BFF dreamt her baby was named Ellery...so she named her baby that!  Dreams can get ahold of you!

I once drempt I gave birth to jelly donuts.... It actually was a nightmare bc they "weren't breathing" so the Dr was rubbing them furiously and all the jelly was squirting out! I woke myself up screaming.

I love Arabella and imagine a sweet natured and friendly little girl :)
