I have no qualms with changing the name but I would prefer something similar to Karchess etc. over Curtess. Most, if not all, English names in the series sound similar aloud to their Japanese counterparts. Curtess holds a vastly different vowel sound in its first syllable to カーチェス. An "ar" vowel sound could be interpreted from the "aa" vowel sound yet "ur" is a large stretch. Keeping names similar to the source material gives readers of articles more accurate impressions about the source material.

If the name Curtess is passed, an opportunity for trivia would be to note that Curtess is an English (country of origin) surnname.
