Realistically, I think most of the time you'd either get people butchering the pronunciation because they don't know French, or you would get people who know a little French and pronounce it like the male counterpart, François. The name being usable or not completely depends on how often you want to correct people on the pronunciation. If you don't mind constantly correcting people, then use it! If you don't want to deal with that, then I would advise against using it.
