Juliette, Wow! nice! well I hope it's a nice sounding name with a nice meaning! ya know! ( my name is kinda embarrassing to say! I'm descended from the tribe of Isachar! so I'm an Israelite! but I say my name in Hebrew don't know how to spell it or speak it any other way! my name is not Esther!)

KAITLYNMARIA, amazing. any explanation why it's vice versa in Iceland? just curious
KAITLYNMARIA
Player #26379458, that's predominately for last names like Agatha Jonsdottir (an example that I made up, Agatha being the ladies name yet as she's daughter off Jon, she becomes Jonsdottir). Plus, it's Icelandic tradition for the man to take the ladies name on not vice versa.
