Re: Nymphaea & Nenuphar
in reply to a message by ari.
Nymphaea is pretty but a bit too scientific-sounding, I guess because it's the name of the genus for waterlilies. I've never heard Nenuphar, it's interesting but I prefer Niloufar.*******************Personal Name List:https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/187938Guilty Pleasure Name List:https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/187938/140061

I love Niloufar!

I like it too, it's so pretty and delicate. It does make me sad after reading Persepolis, which is an excellent book but rather depressing.

Yeah, that's what introduced me to the name!
