I don't know 'stripe' off the top of my head.

Here are the others:
 - "Smoke" is "poctli"
 - "Eye" is "ixtli" as you indicated;
 - "Lord" is "tecuhtli" or you could do "pilli" for "prince".

I would guess, "poquixtecuhtli," for
Smoke-Eyed-Lord.  But Ixtli might behave
strangely in noun complexes -- I don't
remember.
