...Is anyone up for Catchess/Katchess as a name?

I'm not an expert, and it's not an exact science, but that's my experience. Looking through similar words, "catch" would be キャッチ (kyacchi). I wouldn't know how it would work with names, as I've seen names like "Gast/Gust" (Gasuto) and "Gaston (Gyasuton) so I can't tell what's the rationale there. That's all I can add to what you're saying, unfortunately.

I was told this was done in the past with little effort (with his email). He's responded to at least one tweet that used a machine translation. But in terms of this discussion, I haven't heard anyone consider or do it themselves. Neither do I know how many tweets he generally gets or answers, particularly with this subject matter.
