Oh, yuk! It's like naming a kid Sambo. Fagin was an antisemitic creation of Dickens, and the Alec Guinness film/movie dating right back to 1949 showed a really grotesque villain that I find quite astonishing especially just after the Holocaust. Subsequent depictions haven't been much better!
If you must use this sort of name, there's the Yiddish girl's name Feige to play around with, though most girls named for a Feige will be Faye or Fiona!
