Tamago = egg

Tama = a typical name for a cat, a pet name; ball

Tomodachi = friend

Some of these are more obvious, some are kind of... what? These are translated using 2 dictionaries and my general knowledge from taking Japanese for two years. You can never be sure though. the ones marked with a ? I'm unsure of or they don't make sense. It seems as though the creators like to combine words or use onomotopoeias which can be harder to find. These are done in the order of the chart here: https://www.tamatalk.com/IB/index.php?showtopic=40249

Bunbuntchi = bun-bun is a Japanese onomatopoeia for buzzing

Poparatchi = ? no clue

Mimiyoritchi = ? mimi means ears, miyori means relative, yori means from or out of, and minamiyori means from the south

Hoshizoutchi = ? hoshi means star while zou can mean elephant, bowl, or image

Well, one thing that could affect on those translations that you spelled a few names wrong:

Mahitamatchi = Mohitamatchi

Obatchi = Obotchi

Hikatchi = Hikotchi

Hoshitamatchi = Hashitamatchi

Poparatchi = Paparatchi

Hoshizoutchi = Hashizotchi

Warusatchi = Warusotchi

Wooltchi's original Japanese name is Urutchi, and Androtchi's original Japanese name Robotchi.
