I've given mothy a few days but he's only answered my initial tweet, not the subsequent response. Either way, the answer is pretty sufficient, divided into two parts:

1) He didn't know the proper English spelling since he himself doesn't have English in mind when picking/making the Japanese names for the characters.

2) He suggests "Karchess" as the English spelling. His reasoning cited was the name intentionally made a KAITO reference.

I have been trying to get an explicit response on whether KAITO is the only reference as implied (which would decide whether the name's completely made up and whether it had any other references such as the proposed "chess" idea). But with no response, there's no elaboration on that front.
