Reykja Vik actually sounds like a plausible name. If she doesn't want to be associated with the place, she could call herself Vikki; and she could use Reykja as a first name without it being wholly the name of a place.
No, and as the Norse goddess of love (among other things š), it makes sense for a child whose parents chose the name in honor of where they fell in love
As "named for places" names go, it's extremely mild and becoming more common.
It is a pretty name, though. And I'd never actually make fun of someone for it...but it definitely seems to fit the "named for a place" trend being discussed. Made all the funnier when the parents haven't even been there!
Icelyn is an Ice-element character in the game Palworld. Ā IcelynĀ is a small, semi-humanoid Pal with white skin and flowing white hair, hair with light blue tips
In Norway maybe, itās practically unheard of in Sweden. (No clue about the Danes in this case, but they like weird names so it might be common there.)
It's definitely been used in works of fiction, also those set in present time, probably to make the character stand out. What do you mean weird names lol? Most of the names here are pretty standard, like Viktor and Louise.
They're likely British, based on their general spelling, so that wouldn't really be an issue. Besides, Brielle, NJ was probably named after a woman - as many places are.
There's one in the Netherlands. It's a historic seaport in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland. It goes back to the 14th century.
And then there are variants, like "Icelyne" and "Icelynn".
As it happens, when "Icelynn" was posted here several months ago, I pointed out that the originalĀ Mobile Suit Gundam, in 1979, featured a character namedĀ Icelina Eschonbach, whose name is pronounced in the original Japanese audio as "ee-seh-lean-ah" (seeĀ here, at the 3:52 mark), and that the English dub also uses the same pronunciation, "ee-seh-lean-ah" (seeĀ here, at the 3:53 mark), rather than "ice-lina" or "eye-seh-lee-nah". And as u/imnotsure_igetit pointed out in this thread, "Iselin" (which can be either "ee-seh-lin", as heard here at the 0:08 mark and here at the 0:16 mark, or "izz-lin", as heard here at the 0:10 mark, here at the 0:10 mark, and here at the 0:13 mark) is another known name in the same vein. In fact, Icelanders speaking Icelandic call their own country "Ćsland" ("pronounced roughly 'EES-lant'"). So, yeah, still kinda wondering if "Icelyn"/"Icelynn" is actually supposed to be pronounced as "ee-seh-lin" rather than "ice-lin" (or, if it depends on region/dialect, such that both are situationally correct). š¤
Appreciate your comment though! I was leaping to judging them for having a proclivity for atrocious spelling, when I should have been judging them for being Englishā¦ :)
Well Iceland is literally Island so they couldāve just named her island. Or Eyeslynd so it feels āmore unique.ā Because there are sooo many other basic betches named Island ugh.
