We were all convinced that Kylie Jenner choice of name for her daughter was inspired by butterflies.

Firstly, the 20-year-old and boyfriend Travis Scott have matching butterfly tattoos on their ankles, and one of Travis’s most popular songs is called Butterfly Effect.

Then there was all the butterfly jewellery Kylie has been wearing throughout her pregnancy, including a sparkly pink ring studded with the insects.

Before Kylie announced her child’s name as Stormi, fans were certain she would be calling her newborn Posie K – the name of one of her lip kits – short for Mariposa, which is the Spanish word for butterfly.

But now people reckon Stormi alludes to the ‘butterfly effect’, the idea that the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can cause a hurricane – or a storm – across the world.

However, we could all be wrong, as last year, Kylie actually revealed she’s terrified of butterflies.

Yep, really.

On a September episode of her spin-off E! series Life Of Kylie, the cosmetics mogul freaked out on a visit to the butterfly sanctuary at London Zoo.

Her bestie Jordyn Woods cackled as Kylie flinched and let out squeals ever time a harmless butterfly fluttered past her.

In a confessional interview, she explained: ‘Butterflies are just a part of the secrets of Kylie. It’s kind of just ironic because I’m terrified, terrified of butterflies. All butterflies.

‘This is how I think of them, cut the wings off and if you just look at their bodies, they’re not that pretty. It’s literally a bug.’

Still, the phobia hasn’t spread to drawings of butterflies, considering she has one etched on her ankle.

And Kylie has hung up pictures of the creatures on the wall of Stormi’s nursery.

At least she didn’t call her daughter after a tarantula.
