For general info on making up Klingon names, see the FAQ:
http://www.thomtech.com/~dspeers/klingon/faq.htm#2.2
As for "glorious," there's no known Klingon word. I'd guess that a
combination of other known words would do. {quv} "be honored" is the most
obvious. {Dun} is a possibility. You've got to consider exactly what you
mean, and find words to fit that. Then, don't just try a one-for-one
substitution for "glorious." Use the chosen words in a manner which they work
in.
Ultimately, choosing a name is up to you. You should choose something which
you're going to be happy being called. It'll be tough to divorce yourself
from your chosen name once it gets around.
