Do you know of any non-obvious biblical girl names that are not written outright but chazal teach us are other names for people in tanach. For example - Ayelet is another name for Esther. Tuviya & Avigdor (and more) were other names for Moshe.

Do you know any more GIRL names like this? We are trying to stick to biblical names for our daughter but we don’t really connect with any of the obvious biblical names.

Not as common biblical girl names (if you are yeshivish)

We also stick to biblical names or ones with mesorah according to our rav

Tamar
Yael
Avigail

These three are common but ones I like a lot

Naama
Noa
Efrat
Chagit
Hadas

The mother of Avraham Avinu was called Amtelai (also the name of Haman's mother).
The mother of David was called Nitzvas and the mother of Shimshon was called Tzelalfonis.

Bava Basra 91a

Having said that, do your daughter a favour and call her a name she would actually want to go by.

Esther was also Hadassah.
Esther itself means hidden.

I think these names are slightly different than the way you wrote them: Amasla'I, Nitzeves and Tzleilfonis.

Batya. I think in the text she’s only referred to as bas Paro.

Naomi called herself Mara.

It’s straight out in the passuk, but still an uncommon name: Yemima (יְמִימָה) is one of Iyov’s three daughters.
