Actually The criterion for acceptance of names is whether or not they can be easily incorporated into the Icelandic language. First, they must contain only letters found in the Icelandic alphabet and second, they must be able to be declined (that is, modified according to their grammatical case).

unlike English, most indo-european languages have declination. So, if you are saying, for instance in Polish, I am with Jan, it becomes "jestem u Jana" and thanks to Jan becomes "dzięki Janowi" etc

The Icelandic Naming Committee has approved the first names Eberg, Tristana, Asía and Rikharður, on the grounds that they can be grammatically conjugated in the possessive case in Icelandic. It has also approved the middle name Gilsfjörð.
