You know, in a work (started out as a book, became movie script) that I've had shelved in my mind pretty much since high school, I have a prominent character who everyone called Butterfly. Her real name was Flutura, which she hated, and which is Albanian for "butterfly." She was pretty much the high school rebel, even sang and played guitar in a grunge band (it took place in the 90s), and most of her clothing was black. Her personality was witty, brazen, vulgar, and sometimes acerbic, but despite an outward "openness" she disliked letting people too close. (I should probably revisit this project.)

Anyway, this character has colored my perception of Butterfly as a potential name for someone. I haven't read the other posts yet, but I imagine most of them make a connection to hippies. My perception, however, is that a Butterfly would pretty much be the opposite of what her name suggests.
