I think that Bjartur is a nice name, and with no Icelandic letters it should be easy to use outside of Iceland…you just have to explain the J…. and it will encourage him to be independent hehe

Svanvitt is the most fantastic name. Not sure about the spelling but to be called ‘white swan’ is a princess wearthy

I named my daughter Lóa (after my ‘sister’ from Iceland) although both her father and I are Dutch (no nightclub incident). I love the name! It does require some explaining and repeating here in the Netherlands but they all love it.

My wife is expecting and I want to use an Icelandic name, but my wife doesn’t want it to sound too crazy.

I have found a few boys names that I think are good. Eirik, Gunnar, Ari, Hinrick, Dagur

Could you suggest a few names for boys/ girls that would work well for us?

We already have a daughter and her name is Emma. If you know of an Icelandic name that wouldn’t make her name seem out of place that would be great.

Thanks

In the case of adoption, the baby often maintains the name of the original father. Or, the new father could contribute his name. For gay and lesbian couples, they also have the option of giving the child a name derived from one of the parents or just choosing a new name for the child.
Confused?

If a gay couple adopts a child, what would the baby’s last name be?
What if it’s a couple of lesbians that adopt the child?
