Buffy doesn't actually sound like a real first name.

Well that was Joss' original point wasn't it? Buffy isn't "real", she's "the blond girl in the alley" in horror movies, the cheerleader; she's a trope. (That she became something more than that is fairy remarkable. )


OT, it was weirded (and for me, not fun at all) seeing a clip from Scream 2 a couple of months ago with SMG playing the blond girl in the alley (or in this case the sorority house).
