Welcome back! If you haven't seen my introductions to other newcomers
to the list, let me know and I'll repeat them for your benefit. The
short version is that I'm the Beginners' Grammarian at present, and you
can request that I pay particular attention to one of your notes simply
by putting the codeword "KLBC" in the subject of the note.
I'm afraid I'm going to simply ignore your Klingon words dropped in to
your english sentences. The syntax is different enough between the two
languages that there are in some cases no grammatically correct ways to
do single-word substitutions.
Regarding a name for yourself -- what's wrong with trying to translate
(or at least capture the spirit of) "Redhawk"? We know that {toQDuj}
is a type of ship called a Bird of Prey, and we know that {Doq} means
(or can mean) "red". How about {toQDoq}? In the end, of course, the
choice of your name is entirely up to you.
