Beautiful that Chinese has a word for that.

Gloaming is an English word that means twilight or dusk.

Here is what the OEDODO says:

literary

Twilight; dusk.

‘hundreds of lights are already shimmering in the gloaming’

It sort of rhymes with your daughter's name in Chinese and has a positive connotation (most people who know the word would think of something like this, this or this when they hear it), but it is not common as a name for girls. Perhaps you can start a trend that would make it common :).
