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.

Finally!  Questions I feel qualified to answer!

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.
