I just had lunch with my grandmother and her sister Frances :-) I do think it's an older woman's name, but it's a family name for us. This great-aunt Frances has a daughter by the same name, and a granddaughter, who must be about two now. (Baby Frances' siblings are Lucy, Anthony and Martha, which go quite well I think, though I'm sick to the back teeth of Lucy.)

I do think it sounds better as a middle name. Viola Frances is lovely - esp. since you pronounce Viola as I do! Lol.
