Usage notes
The endings of the alternative, somewhat Finnicized forms and especially  better fit the structure of Finnish.

Most Finns don't know that the letter in the form  is silent (and that the letter  is pronounced ) and are not sure how to decline this form because no native Finnish nouns end in  in the singular. They therefore consciously or unconsciously change the ending in the nominative to the more Finnish ending in speaking, despite the fact that the French pronunciation (with  and silent ) is the only one listed in the Kielitoimiston sanakirja.

Some Finns have trouble pronouncing the sound and many the sound, so the completely Finnicized form  is in fact widespread in speech even though the spelling  is the most common.
