You can join quite a bit but there are rules that you have to follow
to ensure the consonant cluster are valid from a morphology
perspective (the one you have there is not valid).

Also note that a lujvo (the word that is obtained by "joining" other
words) has a meaning on itself which is related to the orignal words
but it is not automatically derived from them.

The process of making a lujvo is that you take two words (say {broda}
and {brode}) and join them up to make a new word ( {rodbo'e} in our
case) and then you specify a meaning for the new word.

 Whether {ko'a rodbo'e ko'e} means {ko'a broda brode ko'e} or {ko'a
poi broda ko'e cu brode} (or anything else) has to be documented by
the creator of lujvo.  Note that bad lujvo die pretty soon, as nobody
else but the creator will use them.

 This means that {fedjo'e} is *more* ambigous than any of the
sentences suggested by arpis.

 Anyway, considering you'll use it as a name,  {la fedjo'e} seems a
good option to me, adding all those {sel} will not give you much. Once
the name get pretty well known, the ethymology will be

 No, curly braces are a convention we use to mark lojban
words/sentences while speaking in English (or any other non-lojban
language).
