Staley (as a female first name)

Appears to be her full name as a professor read it off a roster.

I keep glancing over this and reading "Stanley".
Then on closer inspection, I just think "Stale"
I don't really like it.

Is it pronounced Stale-ee? Stal-lee? Stay-lee? IDK but I don't like it... that's her full name? Like Madonna or Cher? Just Staley?

I thought it was implied that it was her full first name, i.e. not a nickname. Pronounced Stay-lee
