I am hoping to find some different names for nicknames I like. There are a few nicknames I like but I am not a huge fan of the usual full names that go with them. Can anyone suggest alternative full names for the following nicknames?

Girls -
Rory
Izzy
Jace
Libby

Boys -
Jake
Lex
Tove

Rory - I can only think of Aurora or Lorelei like Rose said <3
Izzy - Isolde, Elizabeth, Marissa/Clarissa (I knew an Elizabeth who went by Izzy rather than Lizzy, and Marissa or Clarissa could go by Izzy rather than Rissy / Issy).
Jace - Jaycee
Libby - Elizabeth, Liberty, Libya

Jake - Jacoby (though technically Jack would make more sense here)
Lex - Alexander, Alexei, Alexis, Lexington
Tove - I'm only familiar with Tove as a girls name, Scandinavian for Beautiful, popular in Sweden lately! I can't think of any alternitives, sorry. But it sounds like it could be a name in itself :)

I hope this helps!

I recently read an article at a baby name blog that I like about Getting to Rory. Here is the link with some great ideas for full names for Rory: http://appellationmo...etting-to-rory/

I can't really add anything to what Remy & Rosie already suggested.

These maybe repeats but these are the only ones i can think of (also my comments are in parentheses).

Rory - Lorelei and Aurora (only 2 I've ever head Rory as a nickname for; its typically a masculine irish/scottish given name)
Izzy - Isabel/Isabella, Isadora, Elizabeth, Isis (altho I believe Izzy is most commonly used for Isabel or Isabella)
Jace - Jaycee (other related names listed on BtN are Jaye, Jayla, and Jaylee; typically Jace is a nickname for Jason).
Libby - Isabel, Elizabeth (only 2 i could think of, I've seen Libby as a given name)

Jake - Jacob, Jacoby, Jack, Jackson (Jake is a medieval variant of Jack).
Lex - Alexander (is the only one I can think of. I guess it could work with any name that has "lex" in it).
Tove - as Remy said, this is typically a feminine name of scandinavian origins and is mostly commonly used in Sweden (ranking 73 in 2011 for girls).
