hello, Ilama !
 
I have asked an icelandic old-icelandic professor about the use of diminuative in the norse language.  She referred to the name 'Steinunn' with the feminine diminuative -ka used as I suggested, as 'Steinka', but she couldn't remember from where. you could try looking it up. Otherwise she said It could be used the same way in modern icelandic, and the lack of reference to it in the older litterature could be attributed to it's limitation to presonal/intimate use. Anyhow, I feel the ice thickening beneath my feet...
