Question 21.2.3: Naming: Is it appropriate to name a child after a relative of the opposite sex?
Answer:
Yes. However, you may run into some difficulty, depending on the name.
Only a few Hebrew names are easily adaptable, such as Simhah (Joy),
which can be used for either a boy or a girl. More often than not, you
will have to look for a name with an allied meaning, or even merely a
similar sound.
