I've never personally known someone named Buffy. But there is a person on one of the Animal Cops shows(Miami, I think), who goes by Buffy, even though her name is Deirdre.

My Grandma also had a cat named Buffy who was evil and the only cat ever really in the family.

---

Personally, I would never use the name Buffy, as it will always be associated with the evil cat and the tv show for me.

I haven't met any girls named Buffy. I'd think of Buffy the VS straight away.

No. But,it was a big name for Valley Girls in the 1970's and 1980's.
Pop culture is how I know.

Yeah, actually, I do know someone who goes by Buffy. She was the mom of a girl at my school.

However.... my beloved childhood stuffed bunny's name was Buffy. When I got him, I couldn't pronounce the word "Bunny".

I would never name my daughter Buffy. I loved the show but sorry it's a laughable name. I did have a dog named Buffy though.

Even as a nn for a Elizabeth it's not great. And if I were an Elizabeth being called Buffy, I'd put a stop to it.

My dad used to make comments that Buffy was a super snooty, rich snob name. I never really saw it that way.

My mom had a cat named Buffy. I don't like the name (or the tv show).

It makes me think of the term "Biff and Buffy," used to derogate kids in the jock/cheer set at my high school.

I had a dog named Buffy! I loved the show but, to me, Buffy is a pet name and not a people name. I've never met anyone named Buffy.

I havent met any one called Buffy i once knew a girl who went by the nickname of Lizbuff but that was only because her little sister couldnt say her name right :) eventually it became just Liz

Yeah ... not my favorite nn of Elizabeth either. I have never met anyone named Buffy or anyone that has gone by Buffy as a nickname. I hate the word "buff" and the "ee" sound at the end does not do anything to make it sound cute in my opinion.

Definitely not my favorite pet form of Elizabeth...and no, I have never met anyone called Buffy.
