It's not nearly as complex as English, but as usual we find ways to screw it up.

Bleach: ブリーチ
Lexin Kotetsu: 小鉄レクシン
*I found the kanji 小鉄 for Kotetsu but I don't know if there are more or if in this case it would be written in hiragana*

Captain of Squad 5, Lexin Kotetsu: 五番隊隊長小鉄レクシン

I think it is close, although there isn't this: "アッラ".
The 'ッ' isn't used before ラリルレロ(and other syllabes as well), once we use it for any double consonants.
For example, サッカー (sakkaa= soccer), セット (setto= set(??)...
Hmm.. I'm really not good on explain things.. XD
****

Lexin (can i call you like this?), sorry for the waiting XD
I had a loot to study these past days.
Hmm.. I think it would be something like:
アランカール セプチマ エスパーダレクシターリオ

I'm pretty sure thats it. ^^

onomatopoeia: the formation of a word, as cuckoo or boom, by imitation of a sound made by or associated with its referent.

Alot of mangas and animes use onomatopoeias in the background. Often times, with mangas, the editor won't translate all of the sounds in the background, so english readers will run into katakana and hiragana.

The same in animes, the appearance of these sounds is quite common. :D
