maj. batlh bIghojjaj. I hope you're aware of the fact that {ghItlh} only
describes the physical act of making notes by writing, carving into stone,
typing, etc. If you want to talk about your forming the mesagge in your
mind, a different word is usually used: {qon}, literally meaning "record,
compose". And if you're just compiling a shopping list or something like
that, use the word {gher} - "formulate, compile, pull together".

I'd suggest putting {-ta'} an {vIwIv}. You have not yet completed the act of
choosing a name. And your choosing is intentional, hence the {-ta'}, and not
{-pu'}.

Good use of aspect. However, this should have the no-object prefix {jI-}.
"I'm still thinking..." Yet, if you wanted to say "I'm still thinking about
it..." you need to use a different verb, since {Qub} cannot take a direct
object. Consider {qel}, for example.
