Re: Question

Good point, but no. Helen and Ben are English born of an Icelandic father and English mother – there name therefore follows the British naming convention of taking the father’s surname.

It could be argued either way, but looking at the meaning of Ármannsson, it’s better this way.

Wouldn’t Helen and Ben be Gudnissons rather than Armannssons? Just a thought.
