I understand that people will associate Aniston with Jennifer Aniston. But, I actually got the idea from a nearby city: Anniston, AL.

Adalan IS pronounced like Madelin. My Dad's middle name was Alan and I thought if I spelled it that way it would be sorta after him.

I would stay away from a few of those choices:
- Aydalan, because it seems either difficult to pronounce / spell, or just difficult to understand how it's supposed to be said
- Heidi, because there will always be some kind of a joke concerning that name and either stupidity or prostitution / stripper / porn / etc.
- Layla, for the same reason as Heidi
- Aniston, because although I can get past thinking of Jennifer Aniston, I can't get past the thought that the name sounds more masculine than feminine
Aside from those reasons, I think the rest of the names you have picked out are very nice. McKenna seems more of a middle name to me, as does Simone, but I like the combination of Simone with some of the other names better than the combination of McKenna. Why not try:
- Sophia Simone (I love the alliteration here)
- Payton Simone (love Payton, but I prefer it as Peyton)
- Arianna Simone (beautiful name)
Good luck on choosing names, and congratulations on baby!

Truthfully, I'm not real huge on any of them, but Layla has got to be the best. (That would be AWESOME to be named after one of the amazing Eric Clapton's most worshipped, incredible recordings. My sister named her daughter Kaya after Bob Marley's song "Kaya". Very cool)
I think naming a child Aniston will forever associate the kid with Jennifer Aniston, period. No way around it, and that's just wrong. There's something about the rest of the names that are just, too... I dont know, I can't put my finger on it. My friend named her baby Gianna, and that also falls in this 'strangely too feminine or overly italian' sounding category of names, as well. Na-ta-li-A...Ar-i-ann-A...Na-di-A...So-phi-A...I dont know, cant explain it, it just bothers me.
If you were to go with Payton, I would say spell it Peyton.
I think Layla is the best, i like that name.

Arianna - GORGEOUS!
Simone - Nice but not the best
Sophia - Really good but what about Sophie?
McKenna - Sounds like a last name to me. Try Mckenzie
Nadia - Nice or maybe Nadine?
Payton - I like this one a lot
Aydalan - This sounds really nice? Is it pronounced so it sounds like Madeleine?
Aniston - Sounds too much like a last name. Reminds me of Jennifer Aniston
Heidi - Not really a fave of mine.
Layla - Pretty. Also what about Lilly, Lila or Leila (pronounced lee-lah)
Auburn - Nice but I like the name Autumn better.
Natalia - I don't really like this one.
My faves are...
Aydalan (only if it is pronounced Adalyn)
Payton
Arianna
After reading your edit Adylan is my favourite. It's different but not strange. I love it! Also it has such a special meaning to you.

My fave is Arianna. So pretty.
I also like Layla and Heidi.
McKenna, Payton, Aydalan and Aniston sound too boyish to me.
Good luck!

I've always been partial to Layla, although it could invite teasing in high school. Lay-la. I've seen it spelled Laila.
Not Auburn, that's a hair color. Sophia is lovely, too.
