Anyone have ideas on how to name a female baby in honor of a relative named Pinchas?
We'd rather not use the name Penina - two nieces already have this.

I was told strongly that naming a girl after a male relative (female version) should never be done. It’s not good for the girl.

Pinchas was a grandson of Aharon Hakohen, so maybe Elisheva (wife of Aharon)?
Maybe one of the women mentioned in Parshas Pinchas - like the daughters of Tzelofchad?
Or Puah (for a pey name)?
Or name her for someone who acted like Pinchas and made a public Kiddush Hashem, like Chana (from the Chanukah story)?

This means using the female version, like Yosefa for Yosef. The Mekubalim bring reasons why not to do that.
What op is doing, picking a name that has some similar letters or meaning, is not genuinely naming after him. It's naming in honor of him which is not a problem.

Oy, please think of the future when naming for the sake of the child. Some of these suggestions are 🤨.
