Buffy's a fairly common nickname for Elizabeth - it's not my style, but it doesn't really bother me. Overall, I like it - far more than Madison/Mikayla/etc trends.

Muffin is interesting....I find it hard to believe someone would use it as a first name, rather than a nickname (and even as a nickname, it's a bit too cloying for my taste). It's a bit juvenile, and I'd have a hard time addressing an adult by Muffin.

seriously, Muffin isn't a real name...is it? I only hope he uses the nn Fin!

Buffy is slightly more understandable although all I can think of is Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

very interesting names!

Great names for pets. Anyway, I agree with you, Buffy's bearable, but I wonder what Muffin's parents were on when they chose her name.

Very popular for cats. But, no, not human at all.

They're cute nicknames. I used to love the nn Buffy, and I still do. I think.

Wow.. that is... interesting. They sound so much like dog names that I thought this post was going to be about dogs...

Muffin is ridiculous. I was sure it had to be a nickname, and even as a nickname it would be bad, until I read that it's her real name. I've always disliked Buffy, also. It's too childish.

Oh dear! Muffin is a nick-name, not a real name! Surely someone should have talked the parents out of that!

Buffy...well, there's the singer Buffy Saint Marie.On the other hand, we used to have a nice Siamese cat named Buffy.
