For everyone, it's different. Obviously, the only convention in active
play is that it has to sound Okrandian Klingon. Many people chose
compound words describing themselves. Others took English names and
transliterated them. As for my, I took my legal name, Heidi, and it's
meaning, noble, then translated it to the Klingon version, chuQun.
So, chuQun is Klingon for Heidi. {{:)
It all depends on your preference, and what sounds good to you. AFter
all, that's what everyone is gonna call you for a very long
time.
