As a native Spanish speaker I'd like to mention the correct words are "Florero" and "Lodo" or "Fango" :P

Urnnox (urn-noks)
Urn + nox(ious) = Urnnox!
I love using "urn" in this CAPs name, since Urns hold dead things and stuff....very toxic! And "noxious" is a great play on the Poison-typing of CAP, and kind of plays on "box," as in Pandora's Box.

Sorry, NV, I noticed your post after I posted. Obviously, I love your idea. I just think that having the "ious" is a bit too much. I know ours are close, but I think "Urnnox" rolls off the tongue a bit easier.
I must disagree with you there. It also adds a jeer-like "You're noxious!" connotation, which seems to work in conjugation with Yilx's child-like design.
Furthermore, noxious looks like a perfect way to describe it.
Both names are equally adequate.

Petrolita
Petrol (gasoline) + Petrify (to turn to stone) + Lolita (a young woman)
Pronounced: peh-TROL-ee-tuh
IPA: /ˈpɛtrəliːtə/
As petrol/gas or oil accumulates debris, it turns into a gunky sludge that forms a dark brown or black coating similar to clay when left in the open air in a very similar fashion to what's depicted in the artwork.

Urnelf
A combination of "Urn" (a clay vase or pot with a lid) + "Elf" (a small lively creature).
Pronounced: "ERN-elf"
IPA: ərnɛlf
I like simple names, if at all possible. And it seems especially fitting for this Pokemon, which inhabits an urn-like container and has impish qualities that strike me as small and elf-ish!

Slyme
Sly + Limestone + Slime
Pronounced: slahym
IPA: slaɪm
It's simple, but it works. We have a sly, swift slime. Limestone is also very porous rock, the kind our slime would live in.

Noxeletta
Noxious + Violet + Etta to make the name more feminine.
Pronounced: Nocks-Eh-Let-Tah
Well, she's noxious and violet, so I thought the two would pair well together in a name. The Etta is there to smooth things along, of course.

Urnnox
Urn + Noxious.
Pronounced: Urn-Ocks
This is a simple amalgamation of Urn and Nox, from noxious. The pot in which CAP lives very much resembles an urn, a vessel typically used to contain the ashen remains of a living being. Sounds gross, right? Noxious is a cool way to include the Poison-typing of CAP. Also, ending in "-ox" references "box," as in Pandora's Box, and is another simple reference to CAP's jar-like body full of maladies.
This name is simple, easy to pronounce, looks good in text, and flows in the same way other CAP names do (Necturna, Plasmanta, Mollux, etc.) In my opinion, the simplest names in Pokemon are the most endearing, and Urnnox gives that to our new CAP.

Miasmos
Miasma + Pithos
Pronounced: Mahy-Az-Mohs
Combination of Miasma an unpleasant vapor and Pithos, the Greek word for Jar, as in Pandora's Jar. This one's pretty obvious, CAP is a Poison type living in a jar/urn, so it makes sense to combine something poisonous with mention of its home.

Flodorero
Pronounced: Flo-do-rer-o
Forero is vase in Spanish while Lode is sludge in Spanish. I combined the two words the give it a nice tone making it easy but slightly fun to pronounce. This CAP mon is literally sludge in a jar so it makes sense. A little thing I noticed were he skulls on the jar which sort of represents the day of the dead which is also a little bit of inspiration towards using Spanish words. This name isn't to obvious to anyone that doesn't speak Spanish but some of the names in Pokemon itself aren't obvious.

Pithox
Pithos +Tox(ic)
Short, simple, not really nice sounding IMO but just throwing it out there.

Toxiclay
Simply combining Toxic + Clay, these syllables flow smoothly together and sound nice. The girl looks like wet clay, thus the clay itself is toxic.

Nervess
Nervous + Vessel
Pronounced: "Nur-ves"
IPA: nɜrvɛs
I settled on this for more reasons than just the combination listed too, that's just what it boils down to. For one, 'could be just me but the prefix of "Nerv-" I like because it connotes with unnerving or poisonous things. There's also the suffix of "-ess" which I think works well, regardless of the fact CAP21/most 'mons are gender neutral.Vessel is a more vague description of a vase by the way, if that causes any confusion.

Mystruze
Mistress + Ooze
Pronounced: "Mis-trUz"
IPA: mɪstruːz
So I decided to go with this name because the swapped out letters make it look like there are different words in it like mystery and this capmon is pretty mysterious...
But it also looks like the word ruse is in it too :P
