I wanted to learn lojban because I had studied the original loglan back
in the 70s, and I consider lojban to be the true successor to it.

I don't dig the direct Lojbanized transcription name. I already have
a name that sounds like "Scott." Much, much groovier to have a
name that means something in Lojban. An odd thought strikes me:
are there people who've made up Lojbanized transcriptions of entirely
new non-Lojban names? Like if I decided to call myself la
biligot. for some reason. I'm motivated to learn Lojban for two
reasons: one, you can make relatively simple Lojban sentences that blow my mind,
and two, I cannot stop myself from saying "See, if we'd been speaking
Lojban, this never would've happened." whenever there's some
conversational confusion.
Yes, I love saying that, too.
