I think in most countries - modern, third-world or otherwise, there's no big secret in receiving a name. In many countries, the son or daughter would use the name or the father or mother as a name. But only Iceland has staunchly continued its age-old tradition of using the Scandinavian pattern of naming children. The process is responsible for some weird Icelandic names.

It is this known as pride and confidence that we can extract from our cultures. This gives us the backbone to succeed to want to pass the same torch to the next generation. And in this pride we find and understand ourselves and the unique capabilities that we are born with. We embrace the cultural unit as a whole and the elements that encompass us. We are one with life that is the ultimate emphasis in Icelandic names.
