Efa þú nokkurt ert herna inni og kíkjir stundum
Af hverju sagðir þú ekki neitt til folkið sem gerði myndina, um nafna kerfið á Íslandi :)

Brá fyndið, haha

English translation
If you are in here and checkin up sometimes
Why didn't you tell the people behind the movie about the name system we have on Iceland :)

Pretty funny, haha

I mean, if you are gonna make a movie, why the hell don't you make research and just make dumb *beep* for people to laugh at you cus you are a moron and don't know jack *beep*

Yes, Iceland still uses the old system of naming that has died out in most of the other nations where they used a patronymic system, the same as the Norse used in the early middle ages and was used in other countries including England also (where it was originally "-ing" instead of "-son"; and or "-daughter" though as we know by many modern surnames "-son" did become more common than "-ing", i.e. Thomson, Johnson...etc...). This was due to Norse settlement in much of North and Eastern England.

Though it must be said that Anita Briem's surname does not follow the usual system and thus she isn't Anita Gunnlaugersdóttir.
