I love butterflies - they always seem a bit like flying flowers - and I was wondering if their names could be used for naming humans! I know of the [name]Julia[/name] butterfly, and the [name]Virginia[/name].
Im curious to see what other names anyone can come up with, including things like translations of ‘butterfly’, such as [name]Mariposa[/name] in Spanish. 
Parvaneh ( par va nuh) is butterfly in Persian
[name]Nova[/name] is a girl’s name of Native American origin meaning “chases butterfly,”
[name]Cassius[/name] [name]Blue[/name] [name]Butterfly[/name]. Caparina; a type of butterfly.
