I understand about adding a consonant to words ending in a vowel in order to make them a name, but what about tanru names? A good example would be "the White House". Do you add consonants to both, or make it a lujvo, leave it alone and just put "la" in front of it, or what?

If you're going to use a cmevla, then you should transliterate into Lojban phonetics: {la .uait.xaus.}

In this case though, I would advise against a cmevla.

It's {la blabi dinju [ku]}.

 This is a good solution, although I think {zdani} is far more appropriate than {dinji} in this translation.
