Muffy?

[QUOTE 2258237, member: 1314"]I think Muffy is just a standalone name. Where and why, though? Who decided for the first time that Muffy was a name to be used? I'll do some more bgd. After getting on with my day job, now.[/quote]
McMadonna? McGeldof? Muffy is a nice name...like 'Bunty' or 'Stevie' maybe...

Is Stevie short for anything or is it a stand-alone name?
I've heard that some people shorten Steven to Ste? Any info on that Apé?

According to a few baby name sites, it's a name that stands on its own and is American in origin. Some others say its short for mufalda and muffin...who calls their kids muffin?

Mr and Mrs Don Key perhaps?

A picof the lady in question would be very helpful.

'Stevie and the Machine' would sound rubbish though, Mort.
Stevie and The Doors would just about work..."Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" etc... Ah, no, that was Otis. Now there's a name to conjure with...like Bunny I suppose.
