Your first name of Ioana has made you practical, systematic, and thorough. You work hard to provide a good standard of living for those in your care. Particular about your material possessions, you keep everything you own in a good state of repair, and you budget your personal finances very carefully. Because of its matter-of-fact influence, this name limits your ability to be flexible and spontaneous and causes you to view new and unfamiliar ideas with skepticism. There may be a tendency to be domineering in close relationships, not listening to the opinions of others nor seeking their input in decisions. Friends and associates may detect a lack of feeling and sympathy in their relationship with you. Being self-sufficient, you must remember that thoughtful expressions of affection toward those close to you are important. Your ability to deal with problems in a practical, objective, and unemotional way may be viewed as lacking in feeling and understanding. Your interests and hobbies are generally along practical, technical, or scientific lines. You express your appreciation for others by what you do for them rather than by what you say.
