[John Dewey]

Actually a woman by that name from Iceland is not a possibility. By law everybody has to have their father's name as part of their last name. If you were male and your father was named Thorvald (A common Icelandic name) your name would be something Johann Thorvaldsson, If you were female it would be something like Grunhilde Thorvaldsdottir. Since first names and last names are so similar people are listed alphabeticvally in the phone book by their first names. Interesting place. Too bad that with their Viking warrior heritage that they're not allowed to have boxing there.
