It is permissible to name a girl "Halimah" because she was one of the wet nurses of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. However, naming her "Hafsa" is better because she was one of the wives of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Raising children is a great responsibility, and effective means for it should be sought.
