Saluton! Mi nomo estas Derek. En hispana mi nomo estas Lázaro. Is there any recommendations for the name Derek? Everything I think of sounds ugly: Dereko, Dercxjo, etc. It is derived from Old Germanic "Theodoric" for people's ruler or great ruler. Could I simply use a form of Theodore for my name? Is there a name related to the meaning I could use, like King or along those lines? I am not very creative with names and would appreciate the input. Dankon!

I see what you mean:

I guess that even ÞIUDREIKS would be acceptable in esperanto, since Þ is a latin letter!

I'm curious Altebrilas, the closer that I can get to a "thorn with a hat" is:

And even that one, I can't write it html-ingly & #5798; malgajo.gif

I hope I'm still Andrej. Not Andreo. It's a Russian version.

At the accusative, would you say Andrej-n or Andrej-on?

Note that if a name is foreign to esperanto, it souldn't follow its grammar, my bad... malgajo.gif
