Now, as a single person, I think I can translate her name into a full Tau'sia name. Let's give it a shot!

So Celebestel means Silver Hope in the original Sindarin, so let's stick with that as a base theme. Silver has associations with water for the Tau'faan, much as it does with certain human cultures, to the point where fejel'fri (silver-mouth) and por'fri'ea (mouth full of water) are both terms to describe people who are what we'd call silver-tongued. I think this plops Kaitlyn square in the Water caste. We can add a little poesy to Kaitlyn's sept of origin too; septs are almost akin to nations within the T'au Empire, and as such I think it would be fine to add a more poetic version of America's famous nickname (no, not "the Great Satan", the other one) in this context as Earth is still divided. We can also add more than just the one name, because, well, T'au names are similar to accolades. They get a whole collection. =]

As such, here's my work:-

Por'vre Eia'li'an Fejel'oshi Gun'ran'yi (Silvertide Flower of Compassion, Magister of the Water Caste of the Wide Free Land Sept, lit: Water Caste Magister Wide-Free-Land Silver-Tide Compassion-Flower)

Silvertide, as she would likely be known to her friends, refers to the tide of charm and hope that she bears; Flower of Compassion implies that her presence is a gift of compassion to those who meet her. Eia'li'an is a version of the Land of the Free, and also it sounds a bit like alien so I couldn't help myself. Lastly, magister is a median rank, neither too far above or too far below another.

Hope she likes it. =]
