Just noticed your message. My name actually comes from a character in a book. Ludmilla is the female reader in Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler.
P.S. -- forgot to mention the image... The image is the frontispiece to a Booth Tarkington novel, Gentle Julia. I've forgotten who was credited as the artist, but you can find the image in the HTML version posted at Gutenberg.org.
