I have read some interesting name meanings when it comes to Final Fantasy 5- and it seems like the name Bartz Klauser sounds a lot better than Butz Klauser. The Japanese version though is Butz, and comes from a german word meaning spirit- so go figure!

Players as well names these characters twice, there is no taking that away as well as from other countries and game reviews but I'm sure that it's first name given by Square Enix holds much relevance than the subsequent ones given to them.

It is also awkward to have a Bisexual Male character being named Butz. if you know what I mean. Also no normal parents will name their son Butz or he will be the butt of all jokes.

They did that for Final Fantasy VII too, Aerith is named Aeris in some translations.

The Butts version I believe is a fan translation. No way they will name a Bisexual character Butts.
