I do understand what you mean, and partially even agree with you, but I 
would like to point out to the NEWBIES and lurkers on this list that 
this is not the way the klingon language community has agreed to handle 
such names.

First, in a message we should put asterisks on names or fake words so 
that beginners recognize noncanon words, as in {DaHjaj *vanta'* tlhutlh 
*Qurel*}

Second, there has been some kind of rule (or "suggestion") not to 
transliterate any words into klingon, just to avoid confusion.

Don't forget  the list's FAQ:

and

Talking about "non-trek names", we were all so happy to get so many new 
words in TalkNow, and I'm sure you would not have accepted any of those 
words *before* the release of TalkNow!  ;-)
