Re: Naming for a Richard?
I am named after someone with the same name in a different language - same meaning, different sound. So I would pick a girl's name that means the same thing as Richard - brave, noble, or ruler.Reina and Adeline are my favorites that come to mindThis is a traditional way Jews name after others, I don't know if it would be considered normal to other cultures

I am also Jewish and it feels pretty normal to me, even though my family usually sticks with the name initial sound. I like Adeline more than Reina. Thanks!

You can also name after a trait Richard had - so if he was kind give your daughter a name that means kind, if he was known for making everyone laugh name your child a name that means laughter or joy
