So for the same sound, you'd have C'ex. Which... is weird, so you could go for your 'hk' idea: C'ehk. Though the sound would be ka-EX, which may not be what you have in mind.
That is partly why I said it was a stretch, but sometimes wanting to use a specific name in an MMO is less about the pronunciation and more about having a certain spelling or very much near it. Â
For instance, when I use a name with "Ali" (such as Alicia or Alikathra), I still want the Ali part to sound like Ali, so A'likathra wouldn't work for me. Â On the other hand, when I want to use something like Kaelia or Ilanwod, it is more about the spelling than the pronunciation, so using K'aelia or I'lanwod is fine even though it would make the name sound completely different. Â Â
This is also why I didn't end up adapting any of my preferred names directly to Miqo'te naming conventions. Â I couldn't find a way to adapt them that I would be happy with that also fit the naming conventions.
