But it was used to name a female character in litterature, right?
EDIT: Do the icelandic naming system work like most of the world with family names? Or do you do it like the vikings where if the father is named, say Björn, his son's last name will be Björnsson or if a mother's name is Tyra, the daughters last name will be Tyrasdotter?
I LOVE ICELAND!
Isn't it kind of ridiculous to have a list of names that you must use?
I don't know how her name could be made fun of, the translation is quite pretty.
Is the name sound like "Blair"?

If you want to preserve the language, one step is to make rules such as these. They aren't that strict tbh, and they accept 'new' names all the time. They just have to fit into the language and not be offensive mostly. Like I said, it's a male name. If that's not a reason to bully someone (for bullies), what is? But she is probably past most of that now though, since she is 15 already. |
Ohhhh, I totally skipped over your tl;dr part, sorry.
That wold make sense then. Is there no way to change it to a feminine name though?
I find it hilariously stupid that countries give you a list of names that are "approved." How silly.
Good Lord. I'm sorry; I'm almost always very socialistic and comfortable with government control, but a freaking list of names given by the government is inviting so many Big Brother comparisons it isn't even funny.
I can understand that you don't want people having horrid names and you're trying to curb bullying, but this is absurdly extreme from the perspective of almost the entire world.

name sounds good but i think it's good if you have some rules for names in your country. when i see how some musicians or actors in usa call their kids i have to laugh hard and the kids can be happy to have super rich parents and don't have to go to a "normal" school. could be also a problem to get a job with a stupid name.
it should be just much more allowed as it maybe is in iceland (no clue)

Malory is a male name too... but I would find more boys being bullied for that name than if a girl was named it. Ashley and Lindsey were also boys names. now they are strictly girl names
I approve of name lists for children, way to stop numbnuts wanting to name their children "Chair" or "Table"
