It looks nice but I've no idea how you pronounce it?

It probably works in French, but if you're in an Anglo-phone country, it'll become "male" and I don't think that's good.

Its lovely but no one will know how to pronounce it.

I thought May-elle but seem to be generally good at working out how an unfamiliar name should be pronounced (a god send in my job!) - however as other have said people reading it as "male" and pronouncing as such might prove to be a problem.
