Gosh, I do like Arabella. But it is getting pretty popular, plus easily lumped in with all the Isabella and Bellas, not to mention all the Ar- type names (Aria, Arianne, Arianna, Arielle, etc). It's seems even more popular than it actually is just by virtue of the shared elements, kwim? I do think it would be better as a middle name. I much prefer Daphne as a first name. I'm not really one for 2 middle names, but Daphne Hilda Arabella is quite nice. I'll admit I prefer just Daphne Hilda (so sweet!).
