The answer

There is no objection to naming a daughter Sulafa, as there is no legal impediment to it, nor is the name considered repugnant. Its meaning is the choicest and best of everything. Some female companions were named with it, such as Sulafa bint Saad al-Ansariya. Despite this, there are other names that are more preferable and beloved to Allah.
