I laugh about this one only because of Biff Tannen from the Back to the Future trilogy. I think of a tall beefy blonde guy with a deep voice that hates manure and calls people "butthead" and gets simple colloquialisms wrong "Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here!"
Also sounds a lot like "boff" which means "fart" in parts of the UK.
All-in-all I think this name has exceedingly negative connotations and should be restricted to cartoon and comic characters. I guarantee a child would get laughed at for a name like this since kids will make any name into a taunt. I got told "Holly want a cracker?" in kindergarten, and it haunts me in my memories to this very day.

Since this is a sound effect, another word for "strike", and the Swedish word for "steak", I hope that parents know to avoid this name. Even when I was little, I did not like he sound of this name.

Since this, as someone has already mentioned, means beef and steak in Swedish, I always giggle when I see the sound effect "Biff! Biff!" in an English comic. It's like seeing someone being punched to the sound "Steak! Steak!"
I was surprised to see it's a name!

I find this to be a hilarious name, mostly because of the word "biff", which I like to use for its comical purposes. I wouldn't name anyone this, not my own kid or even a character in a story, simply because I basically burst out laughing at the very thought of the name Biff.
