Dont you think a butterfly should be renamed to flutterby ?

Question

it would be more fitting ???

Answer 1

Yea. I think they should instead just name it after a breed since everyone is used to the "butterfly" terminology.

Well, it could be worse. Atleast they didn't call moths flutterby's lol.

Answer 2

Wasn't that the original name for them? Or is that a myth?

Answer 3

yes i do!

Answer 4

What is a 'butter' fly? I love those pretty flutterbys. Have called flutterbys  flutterbys for 45 years and don't want to change now.

Answer 5

well, i think that butterfly is really cute... BUT flutterby is super adorable as well... that's a toughie...

Answer 6

I like "butterfly," because of the symbolism of it (Do a Google/Yahoo search for "butterfly+symbolism").

Comparing the two I tend to think of butterflies having more staying power vs a "flutterby" sounds more like something that is fleeting.

Best

Answer 7
