Lowkey, this is the only Kylie name theory I believe.
Stormi Webster is now a week old and the internet is STILL speculating on what her name really means. Kylie Jenner's first child arrived amid a flurry of secrecy and apparent butterfly-related baby name clues. Would it be named Butterfly? Papillon? Monarch?
It's pretty common knowledge that Travis Scott, real name Jacques Webster II, is a fan of butterflies. Last year, around the time he likely found out about Kylie's pregnancy, he released a song called "Butterfly Effect".
He has also gifted Kylie butterfly jewelry and the pair have matching butterfly tattoos.
Fast forward to February 4, 2018, when the two announced the Feb 1 birth of their child and shared an announcement video that chronicled Kylie's pregnancy. Even MORE butterfly clues.
Thankfully, they did not name their child after an insect and, instead, chose a name some fans still believe is connected to the butterfly motif.
Theory... Kylie named her baby Stormi because of the butterfly effect... the beat of a butterfly’s wings can set off a storm miles away 👶🏼 🦋 #Stormi #KylieJenner

Everyone sayin Kylie’s baby gonna be called butterfly cos of all the butterfly tats and decor etc but she’s called Stormi but chaos theory says a butterfly flaps its wings and causes a storm aka the butterfly effect aka the song released by travis Scott 9 months ago BOOM

“Stormi” is short for Storm. A storm can be caused by a minute localized change in a complex system. That’s known as the butterfly effect. Butterfly in Spanish is Mariposa...

This theory actually...makes a lot of sense. If I were a first time mother, I wouldn't be too sure about naming my kid after an insect either.
Based on Travis' song, Butterfly Effect, we know they're at least aware of the "butterfly flapping its wings and creating a storm" theory.
There are probably a ton of layers to this kid's name but the "butterfly effect storm" theory probably makes the most sense.
