Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
Baby Names and Health
Iceland takes naming newborns very seriously. Before a name can be registered, it must conform to the local language and be approved by the Personal Names Committee. Parents who wish to give their child a name that is not included in the official register must seek prior permission.
Besides that, Iceland has a unique tradition of wheeling newborns outside to get fresh air and take a nap. This tradition is native to other Scandinavian nations also. While many other doctrines suggest keeping babies warm from the fear of hypothermia, these countries believe that the cold air will induce a deeper sleep and help keep babies healthy.
