This. These are not halachas, as this is not a halachic matter. Posting here instead of asking your own rav will bring answers from every walk.

Of course she can. Please don't worry.
Be grateful that you have such a lovely legacy. Not everyone does. Not everyone knows or even was given their Jewish name.
May you see the best of these special women in your daughter as she grows up, and may she feel the zechus — not pressure or burdensome responsibility, just a pleasure of a zechus — of bearing these names.

We actually asked about this and were told that as long as the two people whose names were being used didn’t have machlokes with one another in their lifetime it was acceptable. I was fascinated by some of the information we gleaned regarding naming children after researching the topic a little.


We were told this as well
