I think it's a cute name. I think of Whitley more as a LN, because our neighbors growing up were LN Whitley. But it is a great FN also!
I do think Marie spelling (assuming that's how you want Maree pronounced) would lessen some confusion...but if you're just going for unique, it's not bad!
My only negative comment is that when spelled out, it looks a lot like Whitey! But I doubt that others would think of that.
Best of luck!
