What makes a great alien name?

Alien names should sound strange and unpronounceable-but-not-impossible — exotic consonant clusters, unusual vowels, and apostrophes or hard endings (Xryax, Zogoth, Vexil, Qua'ax). The goal is something clearly not human, yet still sayable at the table. The vibe is the unknown: a being from a distant world with a name unlike anything on Earth.
