Some more Icelandic/inspired by Icelandic names are:

Arna
Asdjs (Ásdís - means goddess)
Fjola (Fjóla - means viola flower)
Lilja (This means the lily flower)
Ljot (Ljót - means ugly... sometimes it happens in Iceland that children actually get this kind of unfortunate name)
Osk (Ósk - means wish)
Yrys (Íris - means the iris flower)
Ney (Nei - means no)

There might be some others but these were the most obvious. Maybe this will help some of you in deciding on a name, though I am sure we are all still waiting impatiently for the official conventions. /sigh
Oh, would you mind if I pick your brain for a moment about an Icelandic word? I'm thinking of naming my male Viera Kjartan Tyndur. Tyndur (I know the real word is accented but unfortunately I can't reproduce it in game) would be a surname he chose for himself because he has felt lost ever since leaving his village (he really, really, really didn't want to go off and do the solitary male thing). From your perspective, would "Kjartan Tyndur" sound nonsensical as a name?
