Not sure Ruth, Jane or Joan could be considered punchy/bold! (To my ear they're middle-aged librarians)

Whoever suggested Kate clearly wasn't thinking of La Middleton. Not sure how she could be described as 'strong, bold or punchy'

How about an initial nickname? Eg:
BB (Beatrice - Bebe)
CC (Cecille - Cece)
VV (Vivienne - Vivi)
GG (Georgina - Gigi)

Boudica rather than Boadicea, though.

Joan (of Arc), with Joni/Joanie as NN.
