ArchivesEsperanto names
Greetings.
I'd like to know further about given names in Esperanto, since it's a constructed language that has no official status in any country. BtN's comprehensive list made me wonder.
How are they used? Are they given as birth names or do people adopt them for themselves? Names like Miĥaelo, Vespera, Koralo, Pipra, etc...
And where are they used?
Thanks in advance.

There is a small community of Esperantists who teach the language to their families as well, and the especially committed ones might give their children Esperanto names.

Some Esperantists use Esperanto names for themselves when they use Esperanto (Ludoviko Lazaro Zamenhofo himself being an example of that).
Some authors writing in Esperanto also use Esperanto names for their characters.
