I read the telegraph and times (UK) birth announcements for fun- and Beatrice (and Beatrix, too) is all over the place there. Florence and Constance are also frequently there, more often as mns, though. The demographic is upper-middle-class and above- three given names is not uncommon.
Having said that, I think you're right on for North America- Beatrice and Florence are names that are either liked by women only or by those in their late teens and early twenties. And yes, I realise youstudy this for a living- I'm just agreeing.
