I agree with the other posters that Shanley just doesn't sound right. What about Willa Shenandoah as a full name? That is beautiful! She could go by Willa or Shena/Shana. Or you could just use Shenandoah on it's own. I think that's a better way to honor your FIL. Shenandoah makes such a lovely and unusual name, I hate to see just a derivative of it used to honor someone by that name.

I'd use Shenendoah.

Awesome name.

My friend's name is Shenandoah!

---

She's a girl, though. I call her by her full name, although some of her other friends call her Shannon or Sheny.
Please don't use Shanley! Just use Shenandoah in full...
My friend Shenandoah has a more traditional taste in names...what about Jasper, Calvin, or Riley, as she would suggest.

I would use Shanna

and sounds like a surname name. It's like naming a girl Hanley or Chandler, IMO.

---

I'm in favor of Shenandoah or Shannon. Shenan is fine too, better than Shanley IMO. Anyway,

---

Shanley Claudia H.
Shanley Maria H.
Shanley Therese H.
Shanley Christine H.

What's wrong with ....

---

Willamina or Willa, or even Shenandoah?! That would be a kick-butt name.

---

I'm not seeing the connection between Shenandoah "Shenan" and Shanley myself. Even Shannon seems more connected to the actual name than Shanley.

---

BUT regardless:

---

Shanley Lilac
Shanley Sylvia
Shanley Delilah
Shanley Mabel
Shanley Jane
Shanley Eliza
Shanley Fern
Shanley Pearl
Shanley Willa
Shanley Wilhelmina
Shanley Stella
Shanley Josette
Shanley Claire
Shanley Rose
Shanley Violet

---

PS - I started writing "Shanely" by mistake after a bit - what about that? Seems a touch more girly :)

Just sounds like someone can't pronounce Stanley

What's wrong with using Shannon?

---

IMO Shanley sound like someone tried by failed to say Stanley. You could always go with Shan, Shauna, Shena. It may be a bit of a stretch, but Nancy? Anyway, hope those helped.

I think Shenandoah sounds like a lovely girl's name, to be honest.

---

Shena would be another pretty derivative.

---

I don't particularly like the singer, and maybe the association is too strong, but Shania also came to mind.
