Looking for a name with meaning for a girl.
Both me and my husband have lost several family members in the past year And can't use any of the names yet I really want to be able to commemorate all of them. Any ideas of names for a girl? I was thinking of something like Menucha Shulamis for rest in peace but I don't love the name and I'm unsure of what to do.
Other meaningful names we cannot use are:
Nechama
Bracha
Leiba
Tova
Any ideas???

Ruchama - like for rachamim
Rochel - Rochel Imeinu- Rachel mevaka al baneha
Simcha is used as a girl's name in some circles. If you wouldn't, how about another version of simcha - Rina, Gila, or a yiddish version (Fraida?)

Can't use rochel.
We already have Nechama so would prefer to skip ruchama. And have already named for frayda.... using aliza as Hebrew.
Do you know the exact translations for Rina and gila?

I wouldn't name a child rest in peace because it's a name focused on the loss when you probably mean to remember and celebrate the lives of those lost.
Ahava or Ahuva mean love or beloved.
Are there special attributes of those lost you'd like to remember?

Why don't you name after the relatives you lost, so their name will live on?

3 relatives we lost are male and this baby is a girl.
My grandmother has same name as my mil
And the other female relative we were asked not to name after her by her children.
But we still want the name to be meaningful for these people.

You don’t say what the names are, but could you manage to name indirectly after them? For example, my daughter is named indirectly after an Aharon, so we used Elisheva, for Aharon’s wife, because ishto kegufo. She’s also indirectly named after a grandmother named Rus, who was my grandfather Aharon’s wife, but we preferred not to use Rus because there are too many different pronunciations.
Then we gave my son the middle name Ariel because he’s named after two Shlomos (Ariel is another name for the Beis Hamikdash), an Aharon, an Aryeh, and an Avraham.
If you feel comfortable sharing the names, I’d love to help. Names are fun.

Why ever not?! They don't own the name either way.

All four of these have water in common.
I’ll get back to you if I think of any more.
Edit: Batya Menucha, or Menucha Batya. Batya as a phonetic nod to Batsheva and a “family ties” nod to Moshe, and Menucha as a phonetic nod to Moshe and a similar meaning to Noach.

It was someone who died young, her children are all young and unmarried and her they want to be the first to name after her.
My husband understands completely and we have no arguments but he still wants to commemorate her somehow with the babies name.
