I'm now starting to realize that I've never actually paid attention to what order the letters in these enemies' names actually was and just picked a couple consonants and vowels at random and smushed them together in the first thing that sounded vaguely name-like and was passable at a glance.

Ill Swill, but with the last "ll" pronounced by Elmer Fudd.

Stah Wah (a New Hope)

Necco Zek

Inoxy Null

Six Furry

Irr Reddle Lemnal (though I have the pin-pen merger when I'm not being careful, so the last two syllables sound like "limnal")

Keekoo buh Kood Gah (same metre as "zippity-doo-dah"; probably the G is the Dutch G but I can't pronounce that)

ee-red-el-em-nool
Yi-knocks-in-ool

idk why the i do the starting vowel differently even though they both start with Y and theoretically with the same intent, i guess it's because it's a lot easier to to a y sound before n than it is to make a y sound before r. Try it if you don't believe me, yinox just kind of rolls off the tongue even though it's incorrect, but yired/yeered is a tongue buster.

I've been waiting for one of these!

ɪlswiː
ʃtɑːwɑː
nɛkɒʃɛq
kiːkuːbɑːqʊʔxɔː <- this one is a fucking mess jesus christ everything falls apart on the last syllable
yːrɛdɛlɛmnl
yːnɒʃnuːl

edit: I used English IPA for everything except the q sound, which doesn't appear in English. Kikubaaqudgha is a K'iche' Mayan word for me. Don't ask why.
