I'm feeling pretty okay with it. I just don't like ... well, ones that I don't like. I don't like them for some reason other than the -ley ending.
I don't really mind Henley,
Paisley, or
Harley ... I don't like the others you listed.
I think
Tenley (not Tinley or Tinsley),
Hailey, and
Marley are alright. Not as favorites.
There are a lot of others I don't like. But it's not because of the -ley.
I notice there seems to be a trend for these consonant crashes. sht kst nsl ksl kst ntl ... It doesn't appeal to my taste. -sley and -nley don't either, but they don't seem as unappealing as the sounds in, say,
Kinsley,
Brantley, Bexley.
