Well, I wasn't referring to a translation. Actually, I meant I liked the
name better, not that I thought it translated better. If he wants to be
called {De'}, that's his choice, but I think {De'loD} sounds more like a
name. Not because of its meaning. Shortly after I chose my name, I became a
proponent of the "choosing a name which doesn't necessarily translate from
Klingon" school. I still like my name, though, so I don't have any plans to
change it.
In any case, it's up to De'loD/De' joH/whatever to decide his name!
