Listing the Icelandic PMs by surname only is confusing and breaks with the Icelandic convention. I would argue that a full name listing is required. -- Palthrow 01:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Agreed, indeed they are of course strictly not surnames but patronyms. —Ashley Y 06:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
I've fixed this. I'm not sure if it's acceptable to abbreviate patronyms, however. —Ashley Y 01:30, 18 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
I think it's okay, if slightly unusual in this context. Haukur 22:28, 17 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Name order redux

Either stick with the full name, just the given name, or just the "surname" and stick with it, else this list will become inconsistent. DHN (talk) 08:25, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

It seems consistent and readable to me now. When the same name occurs twice the initial of the 'last name' is used for disambiguation. Haukur (talk) 08:29, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
