Giles is called Jeeves by Buffy in The Wish, and by Willow in Grave. Jeeves was an intelligent English butler in P. G. Wodehouse’s fantastic series of Jeeves and Wooster novels.
I never knew where the name came from. Just that in a line from Seinfeld Jerry says if you name a kid Jeeve’s you’re pretty much condeming him to a life of servitude…
