Unless the original pronunciation is in general use, as with foyer, I find it pretentious. Homage is a good case in point. (Though I can't speak as to what they do in Canada, where the more common use of French would, I think, make things more complicated.)

I would also find it silly if a Frenchman pronounced words like "television" the American way.
I have been calling Capri "CA-pri" since I went there. That is so gay.
