I chose the name <wovwI'> when I joined this list, but I
have followed recent discussions on naming, and agree there
are too many -wI' names. I am also tired of non-tlhIngan
speakers mis-capitalizing and mis-pronouncing my name.

Klingons in John M. Ford's Star Trek novel *The Final Reflection*
change their initial when they achieve military rank. I have just
been promoted to second lieutenant in KAG Kanada, so I will
change the first letter of my name to Q, and also drop the now
meaningless suffix. This produces <Qov>.
