Question on picking a new Lojban name
If I get back in to Lojban, I want to do a number of things differently than I did last time, one is using Anki to drill on word meanings and rafsi->gismu mappings among other things. But one thing that I am curious about is how Lojbanists would generally feel if I spoke this: zo djozi cu cmene mi
djozi as I understand it is a morphologically correct brivla--a gismu, specifically--and thus technically correct. Unlike mlatu, djozi does not have a currently assigned meaning, and it's on me if in the centuries ahead it gets one I don't want associated with me.
And yes, djozi is an approximate Lojbanization of my pronunciation of Josie.
