[I'm not going to translate names. Unless you customarily introduce
yourself as "God is my judge" in English, translating it as if it were
a generic Hebrew word is not appropriate.]

Daniel Eliot Boese jIH.

"I am Daniel Eliot Boese.
 I was born day twelve of month ten of Terran year 1976.
 Niagara watercliff's range is eight kellicams to the east of me.
 I really like to read and to walk.
 When I die, a fluid which does not produce ice crystal replaces my
blood and my body is caused to be very cold.
 I want to resume living and to resume reading and to resume walking.
 If you know a procedure for you to cure me and if you can make me
resume living, go ahead.
 Because you have paid attention to me I thank you."

Is there any more detail that you want the word "hike" to evoke?
