Three main participants were involved in the discussion: two learned individuals, Dr. Finnur Jónsson, a professor in Copenhagen and Hannes Þorsteinsson, head of the Icelandic State Archive in Reykjavík; and a well-read farmer from Skagafjörður, Margeir Jónsson. This following article describes the discussions and the main positions taken by each of the participants. Various discussions of the possible meanings of difficult place names have occurred in the Yearbook of the Archaeological Society from an early date. In 1907-1915 Finnur Jónsson published a study on farm names in the series “Safn til sögu Íslands,” clearly inspired by place name and farm name research in Scandinavia, especially Norway. Obvious differences can be seen in the way these researchers viewed the farm names, although they all have a tendency to read and assume personal names into the farm names, even when the personal name is otherwise unknown from other sources. Finnur Jónsson seems to have done this more so than the others. Also, many of the differences seen between the two scholars seem to be inspired by personal discord. On the other hand, Margeir Jónsson is more careful in this respect and does not tend to assume farm names are derived from personal names, unless such personal name can be shown to exist somewhere in older sources. As an example of the ideas and work of all three parties in these discussions this article confers each party´s outlook on the following farm names: Útiblígsstaðir, Lambableiksstaðir, Kúskerpi and Íbishóll. All three names are rather obscure and several attempts have been made to explain them or deduce their original form.
