Apparently Iceland super strict on names

I read this artical today and thought I should share with you guys.

I can not image the goverment telling me I had to choose from a list of less then 1900 names for my baby boy or girl based on gender. I hope this poor girl wins.

Considering some of the awful, potentially damaging names parents are choosing for their children, I'm not necessarily opposed to this.  As long as there really is that long of a list of names available, that seems like enough options.

I'd be kinda pissed if they had this control over what I name my child.

I heard about this. I think it's a little too much control.

It seems a bit strict to say the least... but then I see some of the ridiculous names people give their children and I'm tempted to side with Iceland.  :/

Chill. I was being somewhat sarcastic. I obviously don't agree with the policy.

ETA:...also gaining citizenship into other countries can be quite difficult. So I imagine most of the people in Iceland can't really afford to do such a thing.
