Unless those names in katakana are translation\transcription from English language (or other languages), it is very hard to get the correct spellings.
Especially many of the names listed includes ラ、リ、ル、ロ、 which are written in romaji with R but it could be either R or L in English (or other western language). This can be a big problem.

Are these names from an anime or video game? (They sound like it.) If they are, I recommend googling fan sites for the game or series. Someone there will probably know the 'English' spelling.
However, since the names are usually just made up by the designer to sound cool and exotic to Japanese ears, it's nigh on impossible to know what spelling they've chosen without being familiar with the source.

these names are from a video game. tey are from the Beyblade 2002 GBA video game, but...I tried searching these names up but a few of them didn't come up. I might have gotten the Japanese characters wrong. i'll post snapshots of the game with those names in it. I already know the names
of the characters but not their Holy Beasts or beyblade names.
