I am humbled at the thoughtfulness of your answers, but I was thinking along a lighter vein. It was a riddle, my minister husband just told me.

He lost his first wife, Lorraine, after collecting together 2 of everything together and sailing off in his ark. When the deluge stopped he was in somewhat of a quandry over the ethics of pursuing a new love interest named Clearly until it suddenly struck him "I can see Clearly now Lorraine has gone".

"Her name is not mentioned in the bible.

Fictionalized accounts have made up names based upon conjecture. Such a story, "A Prayer for the Earth: The Story of Naamah, Noah's Wife", written by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, et al, portrays a woman tasked with gathering seeds for all plants before the rains come.

The name of Noah's wife as listed in Eisenberg's book is "Naamah" and in Hebrew means pleasing."

There does not seem to be any passages in the Bible referring to her other than the account beginning in Genesis 7:7 which mentions Noah's wife. His wife is not named in the Bible for certain; however, according to Jewish tradition her name is Naamah.

Why Tubal-cain's sister (a daughter of Lamech by his wife Zillah, and sister of Tubal-cain, a descendant of Cain) should be specifically mentioned is unknown. Jewish tradition made her Noah's wife. Her name, meaning "the beautiful" or "the pleasant one," reflects the worldly mind of the Cainites, who looked for beauty rather than for character as the chief attraction in women.

Mrs. Noah is undoubtedly one of the most significant women in Bible history -- yet we have no record of her name. She is merely referred to as ‘Noah’s wife’ the five times she is mentioned.

Noah's wife is not named in Genesis. Some traditions identify her as Aretitia, on account of her being the mother of every living thing; after her death she was called "Vesta" (ie, "Eshta", from esh, "fire"),
