The only problem here is that you've got the wrong prefix on {tu'}. Since
{tlhIngan Hol pojwI'} is the object, the prefix has to be {vI-}.

His Klingon name is Holtej.

TKD tells us that whenever you use {'e'} or {net}, the prefix on the second
verb must indicate third-person singular object. {qa-} is not one of those.
There are some that might suggest that this could be indicating indirect
object, but since I'm not fond of that idea anyway, and because TKD does, in
fact, say this is not allowed, I'm going to suggest that this must be {vI-}.
You don't really need the indirect object, anyway.
Dalo' 'e' vIchupbej.
I certainly recommend that you use it.

If you mean the program, I don't think it qualifies as a {ghaH}!
