Answer 2

Names, of course, are nouns, and by Esperanto grammar, nouns end with −o, so you might imagine Esperantists calling each other Bilo, Tomo, Ĝako, and the like, but the situation is not that simple.

Many girls' names end in "a" (Amanda, Samantha, Rebecca) and people wish to keep that ending.

In Esperanto, you may change the English spelling to be more phonetic, so those names would be:
Loren, Amanda, Rebeka, Pol, and Samanta (There is no "th" sound in Esperanto)

Some names have Esperanto equivalent, example: Paul = Pavlo, John = Johano, ktp.

Answer 3

you should use the closest "esperanto sounds" to the english sound.

except perhaps for Amanda, that could be pronounced the Italian or Spanish way.

Answer 4

Generally, if the names belong to someone, that's what they're called irrespective of the language you are learning. There may not be a translation.
