Ok but Schmetterling doesn’t even sound worse. Just picture it in a not angry German accent

There's too many consonants

But only the "TT" sound harsh, which is the same as butterfly, which I'd argue sounds harsher overall.

Good point. They even have the same amount of number of syllables.

Also, Butterfly sounds too much like Butt-fly
