In Iceland it is very uncommon to have family names as such. You usually=20 take your father's name and add "sonur" if you're a boy, or "d=F3ttir" if= =20 you're a girl. Your name does not change in marriage, and your whole=20 family hence have no name in common. I'm therefore not surprised if the=20 Icelanders do as you say, and sort firstly on the given name, as that=20 would make more sense than to sort on your father's given name, which=20 would otherwise have been the case. --0-1481005949-1116571651=:95376--
