Yes, me too. Not only because I'm used to it.

I can explain it in the way that one could translate
  {A 'oH B'e'}
    as
  {B is A}

So when you replace the words for "My name is Quvar" you automatically get
{Quvar 'oH pongwIj'e'}.

The other way around also looks weird in english: "Quvar is my name" (?)

Quvar.
