> Which makes me wonder how to specify that a word in Klingon is someone's name.

So far, we have only seen Klingon names with no meaning, so it was clear 
in a sentence like {'entepray' muS tlha'a HoD}.

People at the KLI of course had fun when talking about {muyaj pagh} :-)
(qIDvam yajbej pagh juppu')

Don't forget the convention used in this mailing list, found at the FAQ, 
which says:

"Over time, we have generally settled on these practices on the mailing 
list, not as a matter of policy, but as a convention.  Posts are not 
strictly held to the conventions shown here, but if you use this system 
you will be more readily understood."

Asterisks: *mu'qoq*
indicates Klingon spelling of a non-canon word

Single Asterisk: *pong
indicates a Klingon name that's not canon
