Back in the distant past (late 1960's) there was a sitcom called Family Affairs that featured an adorable blond moppet named 'Buffy'. I suspect that's where JW got the name from.

Common? Really? I'd honestly never heard it before, or after for that matter. Aside from Shannon Elizabeth's character in the first Scary Movie spoof.

The original TV Buffy, aka Anissa Jones R.I.P.: 1958 - 1976 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anissa_Jones She died in Oceanside, CA. The 18 year-old former actress blew her (paltry) $75k trust fund, holed up with her boyfriend and croaked from what the Coroner described as 'the most severe drug overdose he had ever seen.' Her brother, Paul, went the same way.

Hence my ongoing fascination former where-are-they-now child television actors.

I always thought Whedon gave his character the name Buffy because of Family Affair. But I also thought it was because there was some Whedon connection to the series, although now I can't remember what it was! Might have been my imagination.

Many nicknames are derived from young children's attempts at saying their own name or the names of others before they have developed all their sounds. Abbreviation and substitution. Elizabeth=Beth=Buff=Buffy. The same for Libby out of Lizzie.

An autobiography of her early years is titled "My Darling Buffy". Kind of weirder again.
