I would like someone to give me a possible transliteration of the name of this Icelandic dog breeder "Sigríður Pétursdóttir" since I'm not familiar with Icelandic and need to be clarified on how her name is pronounced. Thank you!

As for transliteration:
In English, Icelandic names are usually spelled the same way as in Icelandic. Some people write a d instead of a ð, but they probably do this because they lack Icelandic keyboard layout.
