Re: Nicknames you love, but don't like the full names for.

Sunny. Definitely, it just seems to flimsy to ever be a real name. I've considered Susannah and Sunniva, but as much as I like both I don't love either. Since it is a word I guess it could be used for anything, but I'd feel weird naming my daughter something like Cecilia and calling her Sunny.
I also love Gabe and Nate, but don't like Gabriel, Nathan or Nathaniel. But I feel like those two are ok on their own.
How do you feel about Benedict or Bentley. Reuben could actually work too. Personally I feel that Ben could stand on it's own, since most Benjamins end up just Ben anyway. That way he has something less childish to fall back on.
As for Davy, Davis maybe?

At least Sunny is a word, so it doesn't need to be a nn for anything.
