My middle 2nd middle name is Butterfly, I do get a lot of comments on it and people love it! I've never met anybody else with this name (yet!)

this isn't even a pretty word let alone a pretty name. this is for the same people who like Rainbow, Cricket, and Zeppelin.

I feel like this is a name that a 15-year old white trash druggie would name her kid, thinking that it would be cute to have a 5-year old named Butterfly, and when the daughter was 16 she ran away from home, changed her name, and never spoke to her mum again.

Mariposa is cute!

Maybe the Spanish "Mariposa" will suit better? It's still ultra-feminine, but loses the hippie/stripper vibe.

Serious white trash name.
PoppyOrangey Says:
Maybe a cute toddler nickname, but do you really want your daughter the lawyer, doctor, etc. growing up with the name Butterfly?... She will most likely change it.

I know it's silly but for some reason I really like it.

"Butt" is not a good nickname.
CocoWhite Says:
Could maybe work for a middle name, but I don't think I'd use it as a first. Too flowery and impractical.
