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 ---

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]
