It's usable only if you don't mind it being associated solely with the singer. Aaliyah has that same issue, but the sounds are different and there are so many similar-sounding names that it doesn't really have that strong an association. It's also very popular, whereas Beyonce's name just never caught on. The sound is just too distinctive and there aren't really any sound-alike names other than Bianca, which has a much harder sound.
