Buffy

US Popularity Rank: 18853

Origin: British

Meaning: Form of Elizabeth; God is my oath

If you think baby has the potential to unlock their full slayer power, you should think about calling them Buffy. This feminine moniker came to be when children couldn’t pronounce Beth properly, instead saying Buffy. Deriving from Elizabeth, which comes from Elisheva in Hebrew, it means “God is my oath.” This name was popularized by the titular character of the late nineties and early noughties show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy Summers was the unlikely hero who, along with the Scooby Gang, used her powers to beat the demons. Baby Buffy will surely take no prisoners with such an iconic namesake as inspiration.
