I kinda like it, myself. }:-) And, it does quite a good job of
describing me. Plus, I've had the nickname "q" for a very long time,
(longer than John deLancie :-) so the similarity is a bonus!
My feeling is that the "best" Klingon name for each person is _highly_
_subjective_, but one which describes you is not a bad start.
