KetchupSoldier:Actually he did not choose "Soros" to make his name more esperantish, but more Hungarian. While Soros sounds very Hungarian (Magyar), it does not have a typical Esperanto -o noun ending and sounds more like a future tense verb.erinja:Rare to translate your last name, though. I can't think of any of the classical writers who did.(...) The father of former prominent Esperanto activist George Soros changed the family name from "Schwartz" to "Soros" when he became an active Esperantist.
A lot of people in Hungary have "magyarized" their names to blend in linguistically as much as they did socially. This is true of some Jews (who were very well integrated into mainstream Budapest society from a professional or academic point of view) but also of many other Hungarians with German, Slovak, Serbian etc... ancestry. The great Hungarian poet Petőfi for instance had magyarized his name from the original Petrović (both meaning Son of Peter, Petersen, Pierret, Pieters, Petrido... make your choice)

ceigered:While I do this for kicks and giggles anyway, in normal Esperanto are their occurances of ĉjo becoming ĝjo when the pronunciation is more natural that way? E.g. Tod -> Todo -> toĝjo?No. I have never heard of -ĉjo becoming -ĝjo
Ceigered, you are so innovative with your language, that sometimes I feel you are trying to speak the Esperanto of 500 years in the future!

ceigered:Well, I'm a Sean, but Way Out West where I live, it's pronounced 'shen', so 'Ŝen' I shall be in esperantujo, too. In East Ulster the name was pronounced as 'Shane' so I suppose 'Ŝejn/o' would be in order as well, or just 'Ŝej' if it feels cool to anyone.horsto:And also Iano (Ian), Ŝano/Ŝono (Seán), which are other "John" names out there in the world.Borgo:How could I translate Ivan?Or perhaps:

Seth442:I noticed in Zamenhof's translation of the Bible that, with names ending in a consonant, he attached -on at the end for the accusative.
Also, I've always wondered how to use the accusative on a name that doesn't end with a vowel. Do you just put an n on the end regardless, or do you just ignore the rule in that case?
ekz. David would be Davidon
ex. Dio igis Davidon reĝo super Israelio.
