Dapne=Dafne, Danny=Dani, Donald=Donald(o), Jamie: Yeimi

Explanation:
Esta es la forma de pronunciarlos en inglés, pero los nombres no cambian quedan igual. Sin embargo, te anoto cómo se dirían:
Daphne: No tiene traducción. Se escribe Daphne o Dafne.
Danny: Es una abreviación de Daniel. Danny sería igual también.
Donald: Donaldo
Jamie es una abreviación de Jaime: Sería Jaimito

Dafne, Dani, Donaldo, Jaimita

Explanation:
This is just a guess, but isn't Jamie usually a girl's name? Jimmy would be more common for a boy, but if it's a boy, then Jaimito. Either way, it's a diminutive.

Of course, it goes without saying that names are not usually translated, but I know that for Spanish class, the teacher often asks students to come up with Spanish equivalent names.
