I can't do a lot with my name, even if I remove non-Lojbanic letters -
I just get unanalysable fu'ivla or cmevla, though "[decimal point]"
breaks off at the beginning.

Although... if I ignore the _lip_ bit (which is not a rafsi of
anything), my family name can be interpreted as "reward-twist", which
is nicely bizarre.

So, "[decimal-point] LIP reward-twist" with an unanalysable "lip" in the middle?

Or if you add a vowel to the end of my given name, you could get
"[decimal-point] [number] one" :)
