I was always a great fan of "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer", and I always thought Buffy was a great role model (before season 6 came along, at least). She was my favourite female character on the show, but if I were to name my daughter after her, I would have used Summer (since Summers is Buffy's surname). But the name Buffy will simply invite teasing, à la "Buffy is in the buff!" That kind of thing. It works for a fictional heroine, but not in real life.
As for Willow: it is a perfectly normal name to me and it is the name of Will Smith's daughter. I don't like the character of Willow very much myself, so I definitely wouldn't ever have used that name.
The combination of the two names isn't so bad, but I think the child would have been better off if it had been Willow Buffy instead. But I think she will probably go by her middle name at some point in the future, anyway - after the teasing became too much for her.
All in all, it could have been much worse. Yes, the names simply scream "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer" - but at least she was not saddled up with one of those awfully kre8tiv names, like Mikhaylah Dysteney.
