[Opinions] Re: Frances
Viola Frances is really lovely. The youngest person I know with the name is 14 and she goes by Fran. I'd love to see a baby Viola (Violet is sadly overused) or Frances! I think your Celia, Henry and Viola would make a beautiful sib set

Thanks. I want to avoid the nn Fran, though, which is probably why I like it in the middle.

The Frances I know is just "Frances," and I don't think anyone ever calls her Fran (which, I agree, is much worse than Frances). There are other people like that at my school, who go by their full names when nicknames would be much easier. I know a Robinson, an Alexandra, a Thomas, a Daniel, a Cristina, a Samantha, and a Joanna who all go by their full first names. So I think Fran is avoidable if you don't want her to be called that. Of course, it may just be my school.
