I’m new to LJ, but I found you through Lupinskitten’s icon journal and page and saw you were a friend of hers. I notices that you like the Tudors, too, so I thought I’d friend you. I’m not really good at talking about myself, but if you go to my page you can see more about my interests.

P. S. I love the coloring and shading you used on your profile pic.
Welcome! Sorry it took me a little while to get to this . . . Anyway, I'm going to go add you right after I reply to this :) I love your name, btw! Oh, and the icon is made by my friend (and yours as well I see) modernelegance. Sadly I don't have the talent for making icons and I mostly admire.
There is no need to apologize. I’m swamped with work most of the time and really only check in online when I have downtime, like now.
Thanks very much! I was named after my maternal great grandmother. Illeana is the Romanian form of Helen, although I’m not sure if that holds true anymore since an extra “l” was added to both our names. I’m not sure how that happened, and neither are my parents, but it makes things more interesting, I think. :o)
I didn’t know modernelegance made the icon. She is very talented. I’m a member of her icon journal, too. She has some great ones on there. I’m in the same league when it comes to just admiring icons. I’ve tried, but my attempts look like a 1st grader made them most of the time. :o)
That's really cool about your great grandmother! My maternal grandma is named Helen, too :) I wish I was named after her mother (my great grandma) who was called Agnatha. She died in childbirth when my grandma was five, so she has always been a sort of saint in our family. I got stuck with boring Brittany :P

I've always liked that name. It reminds me of the Queens of Brittany, specifically Queen Anne. I've always thought it was regal. :o)
Helen, too? That's cool. At first I thought that was Agatha, but then I reread it and saw it was Agnatha. That's a very unusual and pretty name.
