I won't give you the answer to all of them, but here is the big clue - in order to have two syllables, most words would have to start and end with a vowel (e.g. ado). That should make it easy. Start with "A" and go through the alphabet, then "E" and so on. If you want to cheat, go to http://casr.adelaide.au/craig/wow.html and type in a.. and you'll get all the three letter words that start with "A" then do the same for your other vowels.
For "A" you have
ado
aga
ago
aha
ala
ani
any
azo
For "E" you have
ecu
ego
emu
eon
era
For "I" you have
icy
ion
ism
ivy
You get the picture

ana is a name(so it wouldn't count), and our and oil have only one syllable. Do you want words that would be listed in an English dictionary? There aren't many because four letters is usually the minimum before a second syllable is needed for pronunciation: boa, duo, era, eon, ego, ago, ova, ado.

Our is technically a dipthong (two vowel sounds together), and thus isn't considered two syllables.
Ones I can think of off of the top of my head are Eli and era.
