Because his nickname would be Buttercup instead of Dandeliom or something else. In England calling someone Buttercup is a derogatory term to mean wimp, wuss, weak or something like that. It is often said in many English speaking words "Toughen up Butrtercup". And having a nickname that translates as weakling, even if it's just really a flower wouldn't really work too much in the English speaking world. While yes he is a bit of a dandy, he is also more than that so giving him a floral name that is less derogatory for english speakers seems logical. Dandelion is a poetic dandy sort of stage name, but not as "wussy" as Buttercup.
