No, there are none. The reason is because we don't know how Klingon is actually written. The letters we use {tlhI, 
I, n, ng, ...} are only a transcription of the "sounds" of the language. It's possible that the Klingon writing system is 
like the pIqaD used in HolQeD, but it could be anything, consonants, or syllables...

So: no letters, no names.
