What would the translation be for "Will be".
What would the translation be for "If it is so, then...".

Yes, but...
1. Your name is not a person and you are not a word. So, 'mi jan Kajo' or 'nimi mi li nimi 'Kajo''
2. Quotes are "foreign words' and so adjective that modify nouns, typically, 'nimi' or 'kulupu nimi', so 'nimi 'esun' li [sona sama e] nimi [Inli] "Place", which is wrong btw.
3. 'esun'' means (among other things, but closest to what you have) "market place", not "place" in general.
4. At a guess, 'ken kulupu nimi 'esun pi mani' li [sona] sama e 'esun'" Also wrong, esun pi mani is a marketplace particularly for mani cattle, flocks generally, money, and the like -- but not for, say, clothing or food, which an esun might include.
5. The meaning of 'pu' remains a mystery, though speculation is rife and rather extreme.
6. Not really; most "thinks" are 'pilin', 'sona' is more definite: "know, mean, understand"
7. "{will be" as a simple future is best as a prefixes 'tenpo kama la,' other meanings might involve 'kma' in other ways or 'wile'.
8. "If p the q" is 'p la q.'
