Read this:
http://www.php.net/variables.external
Pay special attention to the parts about the PHP
directive register_globals.
If on, both $_GET['nafn'] and $nafn will exist. If
off, $nafn will not exist. As of PHP 4.2.0, the default
for this in php.ini went from on to off.
This applies to all variables, even web server variables
such as PHP_SELF so you'd use: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], etc.

P.s. So you want your query to look more like this:
$sql = INSERT INTO $db_imgCat (catName, subCat)
VALUES ('{$_GET['nafn']}', 0)";
P.s.s. Consider validating nafn first, users are evil.
P.s.s.s. Use $_SESSION instead of session_register
