I'd say:

ko ro roi tercme lo do panzi da poi lo karsnale'u cu ro moi lo ke'a 
lerfu .i se va'o bo lo cmene ca lo nu se krixa cu xamgu se tirna

"Always call your child something which has a vowel letter as its last 
letter. Then, when you yell it, the name will be better heard."

Or, in a more relaxed style:

ko ro roi selfamgau lo cmene pe lo do panzi lu'e lo karsna
"Always have the name of your child end with a vowel."

The techcicality here is that a string of letters or a word does not end 
with a sound, it ends with a letter representing that sound. One can 
choose to ignore this (remove the lu'e) or not (keep the lu'e).
