To reply to Adrianna, I would think that Iceland is a society advanced enough and respectful enough of life that nobody would abandon a baby in such harsh condition. Only backward societies with little access to sex education, health care, birth control, etc would allow babies to be abandonned (like in the USA). Thanks again Erik.

If it ever does, I'll suggest naming the child Adriannasson/dottir. Adrianna,

And I've always wondered how the surname system works with kids of unknown fathers. Thanks for making this clear to me. And what surname would a baby be given if it was found somewhere, like in a church or on the stairs of an orphanage? It happens sometimes :( .

And you're right, two brothers or two sisters, if sired by the same father (or by two men with the same first name) would share last names. We suppose it comes down to how honest mom wants to be.

Also, sons would have the same family name (Gunnarson, eg.)as long as the father was the unique father.
