Honestly, Curtess doesn't even remotely fit well to me at all. Curtess, Curtis, or any variations of it, would be put into katakana as カテス(Katesu) rather than something like カチス(Kachisu). Heck, Kachisu still sounds remarkably similar to "Kachess", if you pronounce "Kachess" like "Kah-CHESS" instead of "KAAH-chess". Most people I've seen seem to pronounce it like the former instead of the latter.

The whole reason the idea of "Curtis" or a derivative came about originally is because Servant of Evillious changed カーチェス (Kaachesu, the original Romaji) to カーチス (Kaachisu). Even then, "Curtis", "Curtess", or anything similar would be put in with a "te" sound rather than a "che" sound, if that's what was truly intended.

Changing Kaachesu to Kaachisu is like changing Aren/アレン to Aron/アロン. Aren is the Romaji for Allen. You wouldn't still romanize "Aron" as "Allen", you would switch it to "Arron". Likewise, You can't translate Kaachesu as "Curtess" if that came from Kaachisu.

Along with all of this, there has been absolutely nothing to confirm nor deny any romanized spelling of the name, so for all we know, it could be Kaachesu all along. I'm fairly certain that if "Kachess" was an error that was meant to be fixed, it would've been changed along with "Sateriasis" and "Maylis" a long time ago.

Until we get confirmation from mothy himself, I vote that we leave Kachess as it is.

Don't fix what's not broken.
