Nowadays, Nancy doesn't seem so dated to me. I remember I had a classmate named Nancy in college who was about 18 or so at the time. Having a child's name simply as Nancy alone doesn't really bother me, and Constance is quite the underrated name. (but I rather like it)

As for how to pronounce Francine and Frances, I've always pronounced them as Fran-SEEN and FRAN-cess (respectively). I also know a Frances, but she often goes by Fran, so that's another possible nickname.
