well, since Dr. Zamenhof was a Polish Jew, he "had to use" a pseudonym when he published his work. Dr. Esperanto is a nice pseudonym, it means the one who has esperanza (sp.), esperance (fr.), hope (en.), Hoffnung (ge.).
Well, hope is what he had when he developped "his" language for all the people in the world. And hope is one of the most important human emotions.
Also, even my parents know what Esperanto is, they never heard the word lingvo internacia...
So I really prefer Esperanto, although lingvo internacia also sounds nice to an esperantist.
