WheatfieldJambo Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 It seems that he has 3 children : Bjarni, Joey (Wolves), Toddi GUDJONSSON how can they have a different surname as their father :S Also, Bjarni and Toddi are at AI Akranes with him and he took them to Stoke aswell. So if he signs for us we can expect his Bjarni and Toddi Gudjonsson too. Can anyone explain the name differences ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dk_jambo Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'd imagine it's because his name is Gudjon. Hence Gudjons-son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he signs for us we can expect his Bjarni and Toddi Gudjonsson too. Can anyone explain the name differences ? Because in Iceland, children inherit their father's first name for their surname. So his son is called Toddi Gudjonsson because he's the son of Gudjon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londonjambo Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I've often wondered what they do if a woman has a baby but doesnt know who the father is .... or maybe that sort of thing doesnt happen in Iceland. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilamas Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Slutson ? Is that name likely to have mutated over the years into "sutton" as in that ex-tic player bloke? Also, Tart-son to Hartson? Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy McNulty Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I have a friend Kristen Gudjonsson (whose dad was called Gudjon). He named his son Gudjon (Gudjon kristensson). His daughter, Helga, has the last name Olgasdottir (because her Mum is called Olga). what you end up with is a family of 4 with 4 different last names. Apparently they always have issues getting into the US, because US immigration cant fathom this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iauk Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 One player i can think of who kept his fathers surname is Eidur Smari Gudjohnsen of Barcelona, his father is Arnor Gudjohnsen ex Anderlecht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Excuse my Scandinavian confusion, but what nationality are the Magnussons at West Ham? I just checked, they are Icelandic. Funny, I am sure I remember rumours about relatives or peers of them from Iceland being interested in buying out Hearts a year or so ago. Could this prospective appointment suggest something that has not yet been discussed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
