I suggest you reread sections 14 and 15 of
  http://www.lojban.org/publications/reference_grammar/chapter5.html


And forgive me for not trying to figure out all the meanings of
melbi cmalu tsani ckule that can be expressed using the appropriate 
insertion of cmavo, assuming that tsani is a name rather than real 
brivla (and not necessarily the name of something that can be 
meaningfully melbi and/or cmalu)

"lo me la tsani ku/me'u brode" works for me if I really want to use a 
name in a tanru, and it has the advantage that I know it is a name and 
not an ordinary brivla, and the grammar is clear even if not "simple".
