Baby name HELP

So we decided to name our daughter Shaeli but we've had some people say that they would have no idea how to pronounce it. Its pronouced shay-lee and personally i think theres no issue with how we decided to spell it but that may just be my bias opionion. HONESTLY what does everyone think of the name and do you think its gonna be "impossible for people to pronounce"..

Don't listen to anyone when they say bad this about a name you like. My own mother smirked and rolled her eyes at my son's name. She wanted a 'traditional white name' like Brian.  Oh my goodness... but it is your baby! And I like that name. Not too hard to pronounce :) go for it.

Name your daughter what you want! When we told family we decided on the name Kyla for our daughter they didn't like it, now everyone loves it! So just do what you want and spell it how you want :) congrats!
