Muffy

Posh girl's name

Muffy is an informal name, often a nickname or diminutive, associated with upper-class American women—particularly from old-money East Coast families.

The name carries connotations of preppy privilege: country clubs, private schools, pearls.

It can be used mockingly to evoke this social type: She showed up looking like a Muffy from Greenwich.
