I like it and would prefer it to Elena. Link seems like an intuitive NN. My 1st association otherwise was Vinca, but that's only because of a recent plant post.My favorite of your combos is Ilinca Maud, but I want to put it with weird/dramatic Greek or Latin names for some reason.Ilinca Mnemosyne
Ilinca Syntyche
Ilinca Varinia
Ilinca Viridiana
Ilinca Vitaliana
Ilinca Tryphena
Ilinca Nivaria
Ilinca Thalitsa
Ilinca Lucretia
Ilinca Orestina
Ilinca Galilea

I'm guessing it's ee-leen-tsa. Not super into it, it looks like a diminutive.

No, the "ca" is pronounced like "ka." "Tsa" would be "ța" (as in Luminița).

It's an interesting name. I like Ilinca Eulalie, Ilinca Rosemary, and Ilinca Maud. There's also the Slovenian "Elenka"!
