Before I read what everyone else has said, I would like to point out that it goes
"It means 'peace.' What could be more inappropriate than that?"
"That I be named Helen?" Eddis suggested.
The hard lines in the queen's face eased. Eddis was a far cry from the beauty whose face had launched a thousand ships.
I always thought that meant "if I were named Helen" which implied that Eddis's name was not Helen. And then in KoA it was. And that confused me. (Plus, it totally screwed over my mental fanfic's OC, who was also named Helen, and I had to find a new name for her, which hasn't happened yet. *grumbles*)
I just thought I'd point that out and wonder if anyone else caught the same thing.
