It would be an invalid *cmevla*, which is a particular shape of word.
Being a name is the only thing you can use a cmevla for, but a cmevla
isn't the only thing you can use as a name.  Don't worry, that's
obviously confusing, and it takes everyone a little while to get it.
:)  Consider "gejyspa", who you just addressed in your email, his name
is a lujvo.  Or consider my name, "stela selckiku", it's a tanru.

The fact that a name can be a tanru, like mine, explains something
about names that aren't cmevla: Sometimes they need more termination.
For instance you can say "la .bob. klama", Bob goes, and you don't
need a terminator.  But you can't just say "la tirxu klama" to mean
"the one named Tiger goes" because there could be a tanru cmene "tirxu
klama"-- someone could be named Tiger Goer!  So you have to say "la
tirxu ku klama" or "la tirxu cu klama".

I second the suggestion that you should use "djefri", that's a really
cool name. :)
