• jecrxa,uai,i? (Hawaii)
  • Actually pronounced (In hawai'ian) such that jecry'avai,i would be better - Hawaiian w ranges from a voiced bilabial fricative (after rounded vowels) to a bilabial approximant (after unrounded vowels), but A is sometimes rounded (basically arbitrary) so the pronunciation of aw is by tradition - and the name Hawai'i comes from a long polynesian tradition that the most recently discovered island was always called Havaiki.
  • w following an a is often pronounced as /w/, and this is probably more recognizable.
    • To a native hawai'ian speaker (Though there are precious few nowadays) jecrxavai.i or jecry'avai.i would be the most understandable.
  • Non-intervocalic h maps to x in Lojban, and there is no /x/ in Hawai`ian, so there is no confusion.
    • Hawai'an phonology is such that there are no non-intervocalic consonants.
      • Initial consonants are non-intervocalic in Lojban, and Hawai`ian allows those.
  • Having checked my Hawai'ian language literature, jecrfavai,i also works.

The fact that these all start with {jecr} makes them practically unusable. Keep them as names and work off them with {me} tanru — which puts the name near the front. pc>|8} Could you provide an example?
