Okay so I saw this somewhere the other day and no not on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, lol. I looked this up and had no idea it was a diminutive of Elizabeth *see on list of posts*. So to me Buffy has always been a prep school snots name and I am probably not the only one to have that idea about the name. It just seems a funny name to me and it would take a good author and a good novel to get me to really see this name in a different light.
