Who was Arabella Kennedy?

Answer 1

Arabella Kennedy was the name that Jackie Kennedy had picked out for their daughter who did not survive after birth. Some say that she was named that posthumously by Jackie.

Arabella Kennedy was the stillborn daughter of Jacqueline and (then-senator) John F. Kennedy, born August 23, 1956. She and her brother Patrick (died at two days old in August 1963) are buried with their parents at Arlington National Cemetery.

Answer 2

Some sources question whether the Kennedys would have named the child Arabella, since the name came up only after the baby was laid to rest. Arabella Kennedy was stillborn in 1956 and the name came up years after she was laid to rest.
