Luxerola
A combination of "Lucertola" (Italian for lizard) and "Lux" (Latin for light), minus a "t" to make it sound softer. Also a name that leans toward femininity.
Pronounced: Lux-AIR-hola.

Jubilisk
A combination of Jubilee (a fireworks celebration) + Basilisk (a dragon or lizard)
Pronounced: JOO-buh-LISK
IPA: dʒubəlɪsk
I think this name captures the joy and celebration of the pokemon with fireworks, and the design looks a lot like a basilisk lizard.

Astelisk
A combination of aster (Greek root word for star) + basilisk. Also a play on the word asterisk.
Pronunciation: AS-tuh-lisk
IPA: /ˈæstəlɪsk/
A combination of aster (the Latin root word for star), referring to its shining and starry theme, and basilisk, since it is clearly reptilian (even if axolotls are amphibians!). The frills around its neck vaguely resemble the shape of an asterisk (*) to me, so this name is additionally a play on the word asterisk. Asterisks in grammar are used to draw attention to things; the flashy design of this Pokemon certainly draws one's attention.

Xiaoryu
Comes from “Xiaoyu” (a female character in Tekken) + “ryu” japanese word for dragon.
First, its “vest” or “dress” strongly reminds me Xiaoyu’s outfit in Tekken 7. Its shoulder design and the blaze coming down from its body resembles Xiaoyu’s feathery dress in Tekken. Also, its antenna or horns is like Xiaoyu’s signature pigtails. The Chinese-oriental theme of its design would suggest an Asian/Chinese name.
Lastly, I researched that xiao + ryu roughly translates to “little dragon” which I think suit in its design. Sorry for my English.

Ascindra
From "ascend" (art pose reference), "cinder", and "dra" (common name portion for both dragon Pokemon (e.g. Goodra, Dragalge) and dragon Digimon (e.g. Airdramon, Magnadramon))
Pronounced: "ah-SIHN-drah"
I thought this name rolled off the tongue reasonably well and pointed out that this mon is a fire dragon. I tried not to go as far into the "Cinderella" name angle as Cinderace does. As a bonus, that name ending sounds feminine.

Astrolotl
Astro- (prefix for stars and celestial bodies) + axolotl
Pronounced: "as-troh-LOT-ul"
IPA: ˈæs.tɹəˌlɒ.təl
Thanks to Gravity Monkey for suggesting the change of spelling! I think this spelling ties in the "axolotl" part of the name more tightly.
--
Other names I think flow nicely and sound elegant include Pyroette, Salamagica, Maholotl, Sparklotl, and Astelisk.

Just in response to this: yes, the gradient and the sparkles are different effects on the tail. :)

Salastro
Salamander + Astro
Pronunciation: Suhl-ass-tro
I thought a unisex sounding species name might do well, considering it doesn't look male or female specifically, and one that would, obviously, convey that it's a salamander and looks rather astronomical in all ways intended; starry and looks like it's behavior is large and full of life.

Zircolotl
Zirconium + axolotl.
Pronounced: (zur-cuh-lot-ul)
IPA: zɜkʌlɐtl
Pulls on the deeper parts of the fireworks aspect. Zirconium is used in fireworks to give brighter flames (or explosions). I contemplated other metals here (Lithium and Strontium turn flames red. Even Copper, which turns flames blue) but decided that brighter flames suited better than colourful flames considering the magical girl aspect. Then axolotl because axolotl.

Axolomeda
Axolotl + Andromeda
Pronunciation: ak-suh-LAA-muh-duh
Axolotl is such an interesting word that says so much about the design. Andromeda references the femininity of the design, as well as the celestial/space/firework themes that are present as well.

Salamoon
From "Salamander" and "Moon", also a play on the famous magical girl, Sailor Moon.
Pronounced: "Sa-la-MOON"
IPA: /'sæləˌmuːn/
The ‘salamander’ part references the amphibian nature of the design, while the moon is an integral part of the night sky, with night being the time to light fireworks.
