I think Jay works for Jason and Cas for Casper, and it would be weird if his sister called him Cassie. Nora is my favorite. Lav works for Lavinia.

Jason: I think Jase works the best.

---

Casper: I like Cassie as an NN for Casper and don’t think it’s problematic at all. Cas is cool too.

---

Annora: I like Ori the best from your list.

I would do Jace for Jason. I think it has a clear pronunciation and it's a more natural cut off than Jay is.

---

I think Cassy from family would be pretty normal, but I can also see a boy getting gruff about it.

---

Lavinia- Nia, Via, Lia, Laney, Bonnie, Vin, Lin

---

I like Annora "Nora" or "Nori" best.

Jason: Jace, Jase, or Jay. Jace and Jay fit the vibe of Jason better, but Jase makes more sense because there's no C in Jason. Jae doesn't fit the vibe.

---

Cas and Cassie are good nicknames for Casper. Cassie sounds more like a little kid nickname and Cas sounds more grown up.

---

Lavinia:
My favorite would be Vin but maybe that's just because of Mistborn.
Also Li, Vini, Vinia, Lia, Lavi, Lava??, Lana, Vina, Vi, Vivi, Lali

---

Annora: Anna, Nora, or Ora.

Jason 'Jay'

---

Annora: Nora or Annie

Jace or Jay for Jason.
Cas / Cass for Casper, yes.
If a little sister calls him Cassie, and he lets her, then he must not mind it. A big brother would be likely to correct his little sister successfully if he wanted to. If a sister kept calling a brother a name he didn't like, it'd only be credible if 1. she was his older sister or 2. passivity is one of his major character traits.
Lavinia - Lovey, Vini, Linna; Vanilla.
Annora - Nora

Jason - I've used them all except Jae. Also used nn from surname for Jason's because there's too many of them. Guess I like Jay- I typically just say the first syllable of the name if I'm shortening it.

---

Casper- as above, I would use Cas as a nn. I think Cassy works. I used to call my brother Shawn Shawnie just to add the -y sound at the end. So I can see it

---

Not sure about Lavinia or Annora - how do you pn these? Again, I typically just stick to the first syllable, or the most prominent sound. (ex Alexander nn Xander or Christopher nn Topher)

Jay, probably is my favorite but Jace is also nice. Jae looks a bit more feminine and somewhat like a typo. For Lavinia, maybe Liv or Livy? Or Vinnie or Via? For Annora, Nori is probably the cutest.

I think all the Jason’s I know are called Jace/Jase, and it’s the nickname which makes the most sense to me.

---

Cas(s) for Casper is fine, I actually quite like it. I don’t think Cassie would be weird at all.

---

I would use the nickname Liv for Lavinia.

---

Nora comes most naturally for Annora.
