Had a few ideas.
A quick google doesn't indicate Cambreadth is an actual place [maybe my
google-fu isn't up to the job].
Instead of "March" we have {may' bom} for a battle song which looks like it
fits the bill.
I note the original singer is called Heather Alexander [now known as Alexander
James Adams]. The song's wiki page seemed helpful in this regard.
ISTR something about Alexander Rozhenko's first name being transliterated into
tlhIngan Hol characters? Maybe the christian name could be used in maybe
something like "Alexander's Battle Song"?
{*'aleQ'anDa'* may' bom} [or some less mangled version...]
Or maybe a comment on the nature of the singer's name-change...
{puqloD puqbe' ghap may' bom}
Perhaps Cambreadth could be trans-literated: *qambetlh* or *qam'etlh*
{*qam'etlh* may' bom}
Pick a Klingon name name, maybe of a place or being in the known 'verse, that
may or may not sound similar.
{qeylIS may' bom}
