The spelling barely exists in Google (most references are based on wikipedia copies too). Althoughthe alternative spelling is barely used too. Lotsofissues 11:02, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm not going to say that this is the correct English spelling of his name but I doubt that this person in general has any presence at Google because it is a small and barely known figure only related to Icelandic history. --Bjarki 12:52, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I mean, we should use the modern spelling Naddoddur because it is still a name for boys in the Faroe Islands. This name only occurs there, which means, nobody in Iceland or Norway has such a name (or in similar variations). However, he was not only related to Icelandic history but also to the Faroese history and propably he was in America before Erik the Red. Arne List 15:45, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
