Nicknames for Araceli

Which nickname do you prefer, also if you think any of them are too much of a stretch, let me know. DH may be on board with Araceli if we can agree on a nickname.

How is Araceli pronounced?

The NN I would use intuitively, Ara, isn't there, so I'm not sure.

Celia and Aria are names on their own, and Ari is a boy's name that I don't particularly love on a girl, even as a NN. So I guess CC?

I think it's pronounced Air-uh-cell-ee. At least thats how I pronounced it when I taught a little girl with the same name.

In that case, I like the nickname Ara or Ari best.

I voted CC. Aria and Celia are three syllables each and already names, so they don't feel right to me, although I like Celia a lot. Ari is all boy to me since Iive around a big Jewish population. It's like Ira. The sounds are considered feminine to lots of ears but totally male. 

I like Cece or Cici as the spelling. 

Agree with all if this

The Aracelis I have known went by Celi (sell-ee or chell-ee), but I could see Ara or Celia working.

The Araceli I knew went by Celi

I voted for Aria but I like just Ara better. Aria is more of a full name rather than a NN to me.
