I think so.

I might ditch the umlaut, for ease of spelling, but the name itself is fine.

I really like Mailie, I know a little 5 year old one spelt Maillie and nobody seems to have a problem with it.

I like it and am sure people will learn how to pronounce very quickly.

I would pronounce it my-el-ee with the umlaut. Like Maëlle.
