[Games] Icelandic neighborhood - CSFs
Iceland has unusual naming conventions, and I thought I'd try making a game out of them. Icelandic names typically consist of a given name and a patronymic. So Jon, son of Einar, will be named Jon Einarsson. Jon's son Magnus will be Magnus Jonsson. Jon's daughter Lilja will be Lilja Jonsdottir. Very recently, Iceland's laws were changed to account for non-binary individuals, so Jon's non-binary child Blaer would be Blaer Jonnsbur. Sometimes people prefer to use a matronymic; Helga's son Karl will be Karl Helgusson. Sometimes people have both a patronymic and a matronymic. [A few people have surnames, but they are limited by law to an approved few.]
I don't speak Icelandic, so I don't know the grammatical reasons Helga's son is Helgusson instead of Helgasson. I propose for this game that we don't worry too much about it, and just stick -son, -dottir, and -bur on the ends of names as appropriate. Although, anyone who does know Icelandic is welcome to correct me or give me a tutorial! And if you want to dig deeper, be my guest. I got most of my information from Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name
https://www.icelandreview.com/news/icelandic-names-will-no-longer-be-gendered/
You can use a middle name if you like, or stick with one name. You can also use any other Icelandic name on this website beyond the ones I put below. Have fun!

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
