Their names are literal, phonetical translations of the names Enoch and Eli into the Black Country accent.

They also appeared as a cartoon strip in the Express & Star.

Aynuk and Ayli were personified by a comedy duo consisting of John Plant (7 December 1951 – 21 November 2006) and Alan Smith (1937 – 22 March 2022).

Alan Smith played one half of the double act, Aynuk, for almost 50 years, who later had a room at Netherton Arts Centre named after them.
