His real name is Eiður Smári Guðjónsson, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.149.98.150 ( talk) 18:31, 23 October 2011 (UTC) the fact box which states how many games gudjohnsen has played and how many goals hes scored is simply wrong. I have tried to change it but its always changed back. Go to espnsoccernet.com to find proof. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssagustsson ( talk • contribs) 20:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Totally agree. In the text it says he scored 12 goals in 2006-07 season alone for Barcelona. While his total goals for Barcelona in 3 years shows to be 10. Also check on his transfer fees which says 12 million euros plus add-ons for his transfer from Chelsea to Barcelona. Because what I remember reading was 5 million pounds in an article. —Preceding

The title suggests Eiður Guðjohnsen, but the infobox and start of article say Eidur Gudjohnsen, which is correct? (If I get no response I will go ahead and change Eidur > Eiður and Gudjohnsen > Guðjohnsen throughout the article, as that seems more likely to be true.) - MTC 18:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
True name Gudjohnsen.Look this photo. [ [1]]-- 78.173.153.203 ( talk) 23:59, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
He gained famed because of the impressive goal he scored? Come on, I was there and it was nothing impressive. What fame did he gain in the US? Only the people who knew who he was beforehand still know who he is.
If the only info that was needed was he is an Icelandic football player, then there would be no purpose of Wikipedia. Kingjeff 20:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Eidur Gudjohnsen has not played six years for Barcelona, scoring much goals, as it is written in the right colon. This must be fixed! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.108.196.43 ( talk) 13:09, 5 May 2007 (UTC).
This is an english encyclopaedia... get rid of that icelandic letters, this is ENGLISH, not ICELANDIC. STOP being PEDANTIC.

what silly "proofs". His name written by Icelandic orthography is the only correct one. -- Añtó| Àntó ( talk) 08:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't the notice at the top of the page about Gudjohnsen not being a surname be removed as it is obviously incorrect? Eidur has the same last name as his father, so it is obviously not a patronym. 81.231.155.144 ( talk) 12:25, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

– Per common guidelines at Wikipedia ( WP:TITLE, WP:OFFICIALNAMES, WP:MOSBIO, etc. etc.): "use the most common form of the name used in reliable sources in English". He is known internationally and officialy by his club as Eidur Gudjohnsen. Also, the Icelandic letters are not readable by most international and English people. Dr. D.E. Mophon ( talk) 11:11, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
I know there has been a lot of discussion about this. And although I have no problem with the use of Icelandic letters, I do think the current spelling used in this particular case here of this family name is incorrect. This is because the name Gudjohnsen is clearly not of Icelandic origin. There are two reasons that reveal the foreign origin. Firstly the name ends on -sen, which is native to Danes and Norwegians. If it would be of true Icelandic origin it would have been spelled Guðjonsson. Secondly, if the family would have been 100% Icelandic, Eiđur's last name would not have been Gudjohnsen but Arnórsson. Similarly his children would have been called Eiðursson. This all clearly reveals the family has a non-Icelandic ancestor and the correct spelling should be Eiður Smári Gudjohnsen.
