Re: Icelandic Names from a book by J.K. Stefánsson
in reply to a message by Felie
Ásbjörn - OWS-byurn
Gaui - I have never seen this earlier, but it should be pronounced something like GU-yee
Gerđur - GAIR-dhur, see Gerd
Munda - MOON-duh, "protection"
Sigmundur - SEEG-moon-dur, see Sigmund
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

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.
