My house doesn't get much light. Any ideas for some tall, indoor plants? I love the look of butterfly palm, but would that work in a space that doesn't get much natural night? Any other ideas?

Get a ficus tree. They do well indoors. Try to place it near a window though. All plants do better with a little natural sunlight. Another option is the grow lights you can buy. Available at most any store that sells light bulbs.
Sorry, I'm not good with plants to know the names of all the different ones. Just look around your local greenhouse or Home-Depot/Lowe's or similar store. They should have people willing and able to help you choose the right plant.
