Watch out. That menina may refer to your daughter or your girlfriend, but never to your wife. It's the same in English, right?

I think that in English it is more common to use "girl" for girlfriend; it sounds a bit off, at least to me, when trying to use it to mean "daughter." There's the expression "daddy's girl," and even though I think I've heard it in some movies (just like "daddy's little princess), I don't think I'd use it, given its connotation.
I'd say it is best to just keep it as straightforward as possible: wife, daughter and girl
