Shaly :) (as in made of shale).

Honestly, that's what I thought.

---

Then, I thought it's almost the ultimate trendy name - the 'sh' sound is there, the 'ay' sound is there, it ends in '-lee'. It could only be topped by Shaylyn (actually, a lie, McShaylynson).

---

I find it very trendy and far from my style. It's just a collection of pretty sounds to go with other -aylee/-ayla names. I'm inclined to dislike it but not hate it. It's too inoffensive to hate. It's just a candyfloss name, no substance.

As for spelling it, it's existance as a trendy sound combination means it's open to anything (especially as rules of pronunciation are often ignored over so-called 'aesthetics' though often the ugliest name in existance is created. See below for examples). Thus:
Shaylie
Shaylee
Shayley
Shayly
Shaylea
Shaylye
Shayleigh
Shayli
Shayliee
Shalie
Shalee
Shaley
Shaly
Shalea
Shalye
Shaleigh
Shali
Shaliee

Shaelee
Shaeley

The world is your very trendy oyster when it comes to spelling such names.

However, I really would just use either Shaylie, Shaylee or Shayley to make things simpler.
