Iceland uses a unique naming system, rarely used in other countries. As well as this, Icelanders are only allowed to be called names that have been approved by an official body, called the Icelandic Naming Committee. They'll happily reject any names that aren't deemed to be Icelandic enough. If you're already feeling a bit confused - don't worry.
