A Korean name for Paisley
The closest Korean sound match for Paisley is 이린 (I-Rin) — composed from syllables Koreans actually use in given names — different from simply spelling Paisley in hangul (that transliteration is 페이즐리, covered below). Each option below pairs Korean syllables with hanja, the Sino-Korean characters that give a name its meaning.
How to write Paisley in Korean
In hangul, Paisley is written 페이즐리 (pe-i-jeul-li) — four syllables: 페 (pe) · 이 (i) · 즐 (jeul) · 리 (li).
That spells the sound of Paisley in Korean letters — a transliteration, not a name. A Korean given name is composed from syllables Koreans actually use in names, anchored to hanja that carry meaning. The closest one for Paisley is 이린, below.
이 is shared by 페이즐리 and 이린. The transliteration has four syllables and the Korean name has two, so the name match drops 페, 즐 and 리 and adds 린.

What 이린 feels like
For Paisley, 이린 has a current, contemporary feel and a soft, feminine lean in today's usage. It is the Korean-name match beside the direct spelling 페이즐리 (pe-i-jeul-li). In the sound-element reading, the first syllable is earth and the second is fire. That moves the name from steadiness, sincerity, and trust in 이 to warmth, energy, and brightness in 린.
Is 이린 a name Koreans actually use?
The honest distinction for Paisley is that 이린 is a composition, not a common full name. Both of its syllables are current, however: 이 (i) and 린 (rin) are used in given names today, so the complete form reads naturally even though it is uncommon. In fact, the syllable 이 also appears in I-seo (이서), one of the most-registered girls' names of recent years.
