Next question---
How many names of women in tanach can we come up with?
Sometimes the most interesting names are suggested in baby name threads, and they are Tanachi!

Well that reminds of the riddle my teacher told us in high school.
Nurit, Chagit, Sarit. All modern Israeli names (at the time). Which one is biblical and who is it?

I'd guess Chagit. Wasn't that a name of a wife of Dovid or another melech?

Ok. I'll bite

I think to keep this clear, we should copy and paste the list and add names
Names should be in alphabetical order... Should we include names from Medrash? I am...

Bosmas
Chagla
Chava
Devorah
Dina
Elisheva
Hagar
Keturah

I did not see

Asalya could be spelled Otholia or other ways

She was the queen who killed all her children and grandchildren
11th ruler of Yehuda

I need a diversion from other, more serious and upsetting, threads. So I'm back here.
Adding more names. Thanks to Ishei Hatanach for some! (From What I was able to see on artscroll.com sample index... And if I recognized it as a woman's name.)

disclaimer - many of these women were tzidkaniyos, some were rashantas... Don't think they're all good people
