Heh.  It's apparently a popular issue, Lojbanizing Scott. 
Depending on your pronunciation, {skot} or {skat} are the way to
go.  But that kind of thing can get boring, considering the ridiculous
number of ways to make a name for yourself in Lojban.  (But then,
I'm a bit biased, having just finished the section in CLL about
names.)  Speaking of which: looking in the CLL, there's a quirky
little rule about consonant pairs.  Specifically, "It is forbidden
for both consonants to be drawn from the set 'c', 'j', 's', 'z'." 
Given the difficulty in pronouncing {scot}, I can see why!

mu'omi'e cuncuxnas.

Are you sure you want {scot} and not {skot}? {scot} seems a bit difficult to
pronounce.
