Never call an Icelander by anything else but the first name. They usually have no family names at all. Vigdís Finnbogadóttir is never called anything else than Vigdís or Vigdís Finnbogadóttir. You don't address an Icelander by patronymic alone. When V.F. was the president, she was called Vigdís forseti, i.e. president Vigdís.

I think I am entitled to say this, because I have actually met the lady in person and spoken in Icelandic to her. Panu Petteri Höglund 22:53, 18 Feabhra 2008 (UTC)[reply]
