Hikaru: Hallie

Lala: Lala

Elena: Elena

Madoka: Madeline Elena can even keep her Japanese family name, just called differenntly in the dub. Her full name can be Elena Maria Vasquez y Amamiya in the Spanish naming convention. (Almost all first-born has the middle name Maria almost regardless of gender, and Vasquez is a common Latino family name from her father. She got Amamiya from her mother.)

As of Madoka, bonus point if she has a historically significant English family name, for example Madeline Roosevelt. Yes, she could use a paternal surname in the English Dub. It is actually a common occurance for bilingual children with Asian mother and western father to use different surnames in different languages.

Elena just happen to be half-Latina, and the Spanish naming convention just happen to add another layer of convenience by combining both paternal and maternal surnames in ones full name.
