Former Mayor of Reykjavík, Jón Gnarr, can finally actually be called Jón Gnarr. Jón Gnarr is actually called Jón Gunnar Kristinsson and changed it to Gnarr Kristinsson. Gnarr is rejected as a surname by the Icelandic naming committee.

Gnarr, who now lives in Houston, Texas, wrote:

„Next Tu­es­day I will go to the District Court here in Hou­st­on and have a hear­ing before a judge. Af­ter that I have fin­is­hed the process of legally chang­ing my name. Thank you all who have helped me with advice and supp­ort. God bless America!“
