forum Halp! Choosing a name

So I have a female character who's impulsive, impatient, childish, machiavellic, sadistic, twisted, haughty, and dramatic; and I can't choose between two names, which are Arabella and Caprice. Which would you guys personally prefer?

Personally I like Arabella. For some reason it just seems to fit better with me, but Caprice is a cool name I've never heard before.

I just think Arabella is such an elegant, romantic name that would suit here perfectly, but at the same time I like Caprice so I can make someone call her Capri-sun as a nickname to piss her off and aahhhh I'm conflicted

I like the nickname you mentioned… I dunno, Arabella seems to fit the personality better.

I think I have to vote for Arabella, mostly because I think it fits a childish character more, but Caprice is really pretty too… Why would being called Capri-sun piss her off? Does she not like juice?? (I hope that doesn't sound rude I'm honestly curious). Also, if it helps, the name Caprice is Italian and means "Fanciful" and the name Arabella is Latin and means "Beautiful," "Lovable" and "Graceful."

Thank you all for your advice guys:) Seems like Arabella is the preferred name for now! Responding to @ThiaL about the Capri-sun, it would be mainly because she'd think people are making fun of her name or disrespecting her (she's really prideful, and that would offend her), also, thank you for sending me the origins and meanings of both names, they're actually quite similar haha

I do prefer Caprice, to be honest.

I love Arabella, but her personality seems more like Caprice

Arabella for her personality
