Issues Accessing Field

I have a table, called Sites.  This table is restricted for users and users could only access Sites they have permission to.

I have another table, lets call it Child Sites.  A Site could have many Child Sites.  Child Sites is just a link between two different Sites, and a Child Site Name is just a Site Name.

The issue is, since users are restricted by the Site, they can't access the Child Site Name since that is just pulled from the Site table.  I would like users to have permissions to just the Site Name itself so they could see a Child Site Name, but I am having issues doing it.

I tried to create a Formula Field in Child Site that equals Site Name.  This is still not showing I'm guessing since it's pulled from the Site table directly.

Is there a way to either:

1. Make a new field that automatically populates from the Site Name in Child Site without DIRECTLY pulling from Site Name since that is restricted?

2. A way to make just one field accessible for every user on a table they do not have access to?

I don't know how many different fields you have on the restricted table but there is some thing called field level permissions by role. You could set all of those other fields to no access and just allow access to the site name field and still allow the users to access all the site records.
