On Iceland all the cildren's surnames are named after their parents.. So in your case, you could be a bit progressive and use the concept to your given name.. That would mean that you took your father's name and added "dottir" to the end. In some cases it might work better than others. ;)
Why father's? Are all the Helgadóttir daughters of male Helgas, or can they be from female Helgas?
"Ni" means "daughter of" in Irish surnames. The daughter of a man with surname Domhnaill would be "firstname Ni Dhomhnaill" (the 'h' is added as lenition for daughters)
The gaelic word 'inghean' that is ultimately behind the name Imogen does not only mean "maiden" as BtN idicates, but also "daughter". See e.g. here (search on the page for the entry 'inghean'):
