It is never revealed directly what Offred's name is but a gap in the narrative suggests it may be June. The article on Wikipedia is really worth reading for further info particularly on the political context of Atwood's work.

She never reveals her name to the reading audience. She does tell it to a few others in the story, but only people she fully trusts. Atwood uses Offreds name as a tool, it is a gift that Offred gives as a sign of absolute trust. Her name isn't all that important, it is one of the symbols of the individuality she has lost, and her attempts to reclaim herself/her past.

I didn't think the author was directing her characterization at any one individual. If you're appealing to imagination..I would say Offred. Now I remember..their names were changed..I'd forgotten.
