A better list of Icelandic names can be found [here](http://www.halfdan.is/vestur/nofn.htm), and info on naming from the Ministry of Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs is [here](http://eng.domsmalaraduneyti.is/information/nr/125). The [Wikipedia article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name) isn’t too bad, either.
