I don't dig the direct Lojbanized transcription name. I already have a name that sounds like "Scott." Much, much groovier to have a name that means something in Lojban. An odd thought strikes me: are there people who've made up Lojbanized transcriptions of entirely new non-Lojban names? Like if I decided to call myself la biligot. for some reason. I'm motivated to learn Lojban for two reasons: one, you can make relatively simple Lojban sentences that blow my mind, and two, I cannot stop myself from saying "See, if we'd been speaking Lojban, this never would've happened." whenever there's some conversational confusion.

Yes, I love saying that, too.
