Hi Caprice !!!I read what you said about the Icelandic girl.. it is a horrible thing that also children are unpleasant with their friends. But it is her fault and she missed a friend without a reason why to do that.About the names..this time they are not so interesting. I prefer the Scandinavian Gerda to Gerđur while Munda has a nice meaning..but a very ugly sound.
