OTOH, this does raise the perennial newbie question of "How do I get a
Klingon name?" The best answer to this question is of course, "Call yourself
what you like." You can transliterate like I do: <'aDam> You can do a direct
translation like (I think) valwI' does: <DoqwI'> You can make up something
Klingon-sounding like trI'Qal does. You can pick a Klingon word that sounds
good, like charghwI' does. Or you can surprise us and come up with some
wholly new way of naming yourself! qaqaD! pong quv yIchenmoH!
