Can the name Rahmeen be kept for daughter?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

Rahman and Rahim are the attribute names of Allah the Almighty, but Rahmeen is not a word in the Arabic language, and it appears to be a distorted form of the word Rahman or Rahim. Since it can be considered as an alteration in the attribute names, "Rahman or Raheem" of Allah, it is not correct to keep this name, but Rahima can be used instead.
