Pezus, if i wished to become an Icelandic citizen would I have to change my name due to its Gaelic origins? If I wed an Icelandic woman and had a son would I be able to name him after me?

First question: I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to. 

Second question: I honestly don't know. Do you mean if you were already an Icelandic citizen? I don't know how they handle that. 

Let us say either.  

1. I was not a citizen, she was a citizen and also my son.  

2. I was a citizen, as would be my wife and son.

I think a large part of this question deals with national identity and immigration can have big effect on that.  Does Iceland have many immigrants?
