I love the Icelandic names, but I'm too mired in medieval Norse literature to see Snæfríður as anything other than a witch's name. I rather like the names with the -hildur ending; I know several Reynhildurs, Brynhildurs, and Swanhildurs.

The Welsh have a pretty good line in nice sounding names as well, particularly with the likes of Rhianwen, Elwen, Elowen, Carys, Alwyn and Llywelyn.

I asked cause I'm from Iceland, sorry for being curious.

No problem. I spent six months there just recently. Beautiful country, nice people, great weather--but none of that can make up for the ridiculously high cost of living, or for the $9 in custom taxes they charged for a $6 laptop charger from eBay.

Anyway, the name is from Iceland's Bell. I don't know know whether I'd call Snæfríður Íslandssól a witch as per Lokasenna, but she was definitely a b***h.

Still, great name.
