Do you even have a spell check?

The best one can generally do is just do an approximate phonemic conversion:
NIkki -- Nikki ("neek-kee")
Haley -- Heirii ("hey-ree")
Dylan -- Diran ("dee-rahn")

You could take it one step further and find appropriate kanji (Chinese) characters for each syllable to give the name some kind of meaning. But it's common practice to not bother with that.

When translated into Japanese, foreign names are simply approximations of their names which is also what Japanese do for other foreign words. For example, computer is {con pyu tah}コンピュター. All foreign loan words are written in Katakanaカタカナ.

So,
Nikki (nikki)/{Neek kee} ニッキ
Haley (heiri)/{Hey ree} ヘイリー or (haree){Hah reh}ハレー
Dylan (diran) {Dee rhan}  ディラン
((the "r" is similar to Spanish))

Names are names; they don't translate. And it's Japanese.
