I agree one should preserve the orginal as much as possible but not
without stretching Lojban.

I English you say "My name is", in German you have a specific verb for
this: "ich hei=DFe" while in French, Spanish and Italian you use the
equivalent of "I call myself" ("je m'appel", "me llamo" and "mi
chiamo"). What would you think if I would say "I call myself Remo"
instead of "My name is Remo" just to be faithful to the original
sentence? It wouldn't not be good English.

I disagree here. While I'm a great support of "meaning by context", on
his own {ko'a} has no meaning and can't be used the same way the third
person is used in English and other languages.

Which is fine as long the translation is proper Lojban.
