Find and replace filename recursively in a directory with various names

I have the following file structure

./lib/mylib-client.c
./lib/mylib-object.h
./lib/mylib-rpc-wrapper.c
./lib/mylib-session-base.c
./lib/mylib-session-base.lo
./lib/mylib-session-base.o
./lib/mylibobj.c
./lib/mylibobj.lo
./lib/mylibobj.o
./lib/mylibobj.vala
./lib/mylibrpc-transport.c
./net/cluster/.deps/mylib-config.Po
./net/cluster/.deps/mylib-db.Po
./net/common/mylib-config.c
./net/common/mylib-config.h
./net/common/mylib-db.c
./net/common/mylib-db.h
./net/daemon/.deps/mylib-config.Po
./net/daemon/.deps/mylib-daemon.Po
./net/daemon/.deps/mylib-test.Po
./net/daemon/mylib
./net/daemon/mylib-config.o
./net/daemon/mylib-daemon.c
./net/daemon/mylib-daemon.o

That I want to recursively rename to : 

./lib/libvertio-client.c
./lib/libvertio-object.h
./lib/libvertio-rpc-wrapper.c
./lib/libvertio-session-base.c
./lib/libvertio-session-base.lo
./lib/libvertio-session-base.o
./lib/libvertioobj.c
./lib/libvertioobj.lo
./lib/libvertioobj.o
./lib/libvertioobj.vala
./lib/libvertiorpc-transport.c
./net/cluster/.deps/libvertio-config.Po
./net/cluster/.deps/libvertio-db.Po
./net/common/libvertio-config.c
./net/common/libvertio-config.h
./net/common/libvertio-db.c
./net/common/libvertio-db.h
./net/daemon/.deps/libvertio-config.Po
./net/daemon/.deps/libvertio-daemon.Po
./net/daemon/.deps/libvertio-test.Po
./net/daemon/libvertio
./net/daemon/libvertio-config.o
./net/daemon/libvertio-daemon.c
./net/daemon/libvertio-daemon.o

I have found this : Find and replace filename recursively in a directory

But i can't figure out what to change

find . -name "mylib*" | awk '{a=$1; gsub(/mylib/,"libvertio"); printf "mv \"%s\" \"%s\"\n", a, $1}' | sh

Doesn't work. What Am I missing here ?

You can try rename script:

find . -name "mylib*" -exec rename 's/mylib/libvertio/' '{}' \;

Without rename:

find . -name "mylib*" -exec bash -c 'mv "$1" "${1/\/mylib//libvertio}"' - '{}' \;
