Arabella - not sure if i like Arabella, i would not use Bella for the nn though, how about Ara or Ari?
Gwyneth - like it, maybe Neth/Nethi or Wyn for the nn, what about Gwyndolen/Gwendolyn, nn Wyn or Leni
Chiara/Chiarina - would have pron it more like Chee-ara TBH, kee-AH-rah i like, nn Key or Kea (Key-ah), its a parrot incidently (the Kea i mean) or Ena for Chiarina.
Diantha - i prefer Dianthe, nn Anthe or Thea
Kassiopeia - love Cassiopeia (prefer it with the C), for an uncommon nn though.. maybe a personality nn or one from her last name?
Katarzyna - interesting, i like it, nn Tari/Tara or Zee/Zena
Valeria - like it Leri or Ria, how about Valaria nn Lari?
Vanessa - Van or maybe Essa

I'm also thinking about:
Arya - Ari, not with Arabella though, too similar
Elissa - Elie (ee-lee) or Sa (Sar) maybe
Francesca - love this, nn Cheska
Iris - like this too, wouldnt really need an nn, Iri/Ris
Juliet - Etti? Etta?
Lilith - Lithi?
Michelina - mee-ke-LEE-nah? - nice, nn Meka/Meeka
Mirabella - i like Mirabella (pron. mirror-bella) or Mirabelle, but again not with Arabella.. hmm what about Mirabelis (mirror-bell-is) from the Latin mirabilis which Mirabelle comes from. NN Liss/Lisi
Veronica - nn Veri or Nica

Of the ones you're thinking of I would go with

---

Arya - Ari
Francesca - Cheska
Iris - Iri/Ris
Juliet - Etti/Etta
Lilith - Lithi
Michelina - Meka
Mirabelis - Lisi

Making sure that the nn's arent too similar Ris/Ria might get confused Lisi/Lithi Leri/Leni, Meka/Nica etc
