I mean, I'd expect my registered name in the US to be my full name, but I dunno how it works, maybe they make you drop the patronimic

Anyway, not a big issue

Isn't a bit like Chinese names in Western countries?

Icelandic contains some non-ASCII characters
2021-11-29 33303, 2021
reosarevok
Sure, but I'm expecting then it'd be Gudmundur Thor Fridleifsson, not just Gudmundur Thor :)
2021-11-29 33309, 2021
reosarevok
Those are actually both first names, I think?
2021-11-29 33325, 2021
reosarevok
Not that Fridleifsson is *really* a surname, but :)
2021-11-29 33326, 2021
CatQuest
wait they can't do that? so many other scandinavian names are based on patronymic names (evne if they don't functino like it anymore)
2021-11-29 33340, 2021
atj
I thought maybe they had a different name order structure
2021-11-29 33304, 2021
reosarevok
I mean, I dunno how it works really, maybe they'd only register my first surname, while I consider my legal name to have two :)
2021-11-29 33309, 2021
reosarevok
So it might be different
2021-11-29 33348, 2021

well, here in the UK we have middle names, but most people ignore them completely
2021-11-29 33349, 2021
CatQuest
I know in the us apparently, the first of two last names is considered a "middle name" (wich ot me is weird)
2021-11-29 33353, 2021
CatQuest
unless hypen
2021-11-29 33317, 2021
atj
hyphenation is normally due to combining the maiden and married name
2021-11-29 33323, 2021
CatQuest
very may people here have two last nmes
2021-11-29 33334, 2021
CatQuest
not here
2021-11-29 33352, 2021
CatQuest
usually two people will get to gether and adopt two names or atleast the kids will take each prent's name
2021-11-29 33302, 2021
CatQuest
parent's*
2021-11-29 33306, 2021
atj
also it's mainly "upper class" people that do it, or people who want to be perceived as such (hyphenation that is)
2021-11-29 33335, 2021
reosarevok
Yeah. We don't generally *use* our second surname much
2021-11-29 33346, 2021
reosarevok
But it's still part of the legal name, just not the one we usually use :)
2021-11-29 33356, 2021
CatQuest
i mean in the us that unless the names are hypenated the first last name is considered a middle name (wich is weird for me because a middle name is always a "firstname" type name, so not things liek "smith, "robinson" or "ling")
2021-11-29 33301, 2021
reosarevok
CatQuest: I think it's a second first name, not a last name :)
2021-11-29 33321, 2021
reosarevok
In Spain you can have many first names - my mom had 4

Fair play, sounds fun!
2021-11-29 33359, 2021

Because her parents wanted to give her a Basque name, and the registrants were like "only if you get two real Spanish names too" apparently

oh gods it's etymologically related "rådyr" pretty much will sound like "roedeer"
2021-11-29 33317, 2021
reosarevok
"English roe is from Old English rā or rāha, from Proto-Germanic *raihô, cognate with Old Norse rá, Old Saxon rēho, Middle Dutch and Dutch ree, Old High German rēh, rēho, rēia, German Reh"
