Icelandic Names
May 14th, 2015
One of the most interesting facts I learned from playing Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness is found in one of the books in the game:
Now take a look at all the Icelander characters’ last names:
- Soren Bergursson = Son of Bergur
- Elísabet Grimursdóttir = Daughter of Grimur
- Magnus Kiljansson = Son of Kiljan
- Gunnar Tonnisson = Son of Tonni
Also, if you haven’t pre-ordered Sea of Darkness yet, there are only 5 days left to do so!
And we have a birthday to celebrate today!

That is fascinating! I kind of thought about that too, while looking at the names. Their last names did have something similar…therefore, daughter/son. I like this method. Very nice.
Although it kind of seems like they’re leaving their mother’s name out of their last name…but anyhow.
Just finished SEA tonight! Great job, it’s one of my favorites! 😀
Cool!
Glad you shared this with us LJ!
