I’m working on a story based off my Nana’s life. she was an incredible woman who came from a very religious family in the outback of Australia. she grew up on a cattle ranch.
Right now my idea for the characters name is Winifred because it means “Blessed Peacemaking” but I’m more leaning towards making that her middle name.
she was born in 1929 and the last name I have picked out is Redmond.
I kind of want her to have an obscure biblical name
I love this! I hope to read her story one day. How brilliant. 
I’m a huge fan of obscure Biblical names, too! Here are some that fit to me…
[name_f]Beulah[/name_f]
[name_m]Havilah[/name_m]
[name_f]Hephzibah[/name_f]
[name_f]Gethsemane[/name_f]
[name_f]Apphia[/name_f]
[name_f]Keturah[/name_f]
[name_f]Syntyche[/name_f]
[name_f]Tirzah[/name_f]
[name_f]Prisca[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruhamah[/name_f]
And some that aren’t Biblical names/places exactly, but they do have to do with faith:
[name_f]Deliverance[/name_f]
[name_f]Glory[/name_f]
[name_f]Hosanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Prudence[/name_f]
[name_f]Providence[/name_f]
[name_m]Worthy[/name_m]
[name_f]Concordia[/name_f]
[name_m]Keeper[/name_m]
[name_m]Patience[/name_m]
Nativity
[name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f]
[name_f]Pleasance[/name_f]
[name_f]Epiphany[/name_f]
thank you, it’s not exactly like her life, because it’s me it’s going to be a lot darker lol.
I genuinely think Nativity is the name for her 
, its perfect
So much nickname potential (Nat?? Natey?? Navy?), so much meaning, so much love… ack, yay!
I chose TIvi as the nickname 
ooh, that sounds interesting 
[name_f]Bithiah[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (daughter of yahweh, blessed peacemaking)
[name_f]Ruhamah[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (to pity, to love, blessed peacemaking)
[name_f]Mehetabel[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (god makes happy, blessed peacemaking)
[name_f]Peninnah[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (coral, precious stone, blessed peacemaking)
[name_f]Iscah[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (to behold, blessed peacemaking)
[name_f]Zebidah[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (to give, blessed peacemaking)
[name_m]Damaris[/name_m] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (girl, calf, blessed peacemaking)
Maybe not for the main character, but names that were likely at the time (and if not other character in the story, could be good for a middle for protagonist to balance an intense first):
[name_f]Joan[/name_f]
[name_f]Jean[/name_f]
[name_f]Joyce[/name_f]
[name_f]Patricia[/name_f]
[name_f]Shirley[/name_f]
[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Aileen[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmé[/name_f]
[name_f]Gladys[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
