That's like saying that <SQ> doesn't need to be differentiated from <SngQ>.
<'> is a consonant, Paramount writers notwithstanding.

Good for you! :) Ultimately, it's your name, and you need to find
something that you'll like and be happy with. You're not the first to use a
name that doesn't follow Klingon phonology. There was {r'Hul}, who argued
strongly for her name. I try not to think about how I'd pronounce names
like {DloraH}. :)

If nothing else, it will give you a name by which we can come to identify
you. Enjoy, and welcome!
