Girls Using Same First Name As Mother

When a son is named after his father, he is a junior, II, III, etc.

Some daughters are named after their mothers.

How are the daughters titled? Is there such as thing as the titles as compared to the sons?

Does anyone have an idea as to an answer?

Generally, "Junior" and "II" are used for males. I've been immersed in genealogical research for about 20 years now and have only once seen a female called "Junior".
