snick_backupI had ideas of there being several drabbles today, but it seems to be just the one. Merry Christmas, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Spike&Joyce, set sometime in the middle of Seraph
That Touch of Classic Elegance
“I like the name Dawn,” Spike began. “Got a sort of grace to it. Feminine, brief, and a boon to those uneasy spellers among us.
“So, Joyce, what hellish imp possessed you to name your firstborn Buffy?”
Brows drawn, “Don’t you like it?”
“Well. Um.”
“I wanted something, you know, unique.”
“You got me there,” he muttered.
“And... cheerful. Strong, but still girly. Sweet.”
“Not a family name, then?” he said faintly. “Or a nickname, maybe?”
“Nope. She’s the one and only Buffy Summers.”
“Ain't she just.”
So much for that. No bleeding way was Joyce helping name his child.

Date: 2010-12-12 01:53 am (UTC)Which isn't fair, I know; it doesn't seem horribly unreasonable, in the regular scheme of things, that 'Buffy' would be a nickname instead of a given name. But it grates.
Anyway, I'm very glad you liked. :)

Date: 2010-12-11 06:13 pm (UTC)Buffy is now the name of Vladimir Putin's dog.
"A five-year-old boy won a competition to find a name for the dog, which Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov gave to Putin in Sofia last month.
"It's soft, kind and sounds nice," Putin told the boy, Dima."
I can see Joyce being smug and Spike rolling his eyes at this.
