{{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} takes an [[acronym]]-like approach. A name is written as multiple words whose starting sounds match those of the name, wrapped in a {{sp|nimi}}-shaped box called a cartouche ({{sp|[...]}}). The exact choice of words is [[#Self-determination|up to the person being named]], or, failing that, the writer. This can be used to convey extra meaning, e.g. writing {{tp|ma Inli}} as {{sp|[ijo ni li ike]}} ("this thing is bad").
Some people use syllable- or mora-based approaches instead. For example, {{tok|[[jan Misali]]}}'s preferred name form is {{sp|[mi sona ante li]}} (literally, "{{tp|Msal}}").<ref>jan Misali [@hbmmaster] (14 January 2023).
