Nymphs are very flirtatious, and seductive. I believe Nymphadora doesn't like her name for that reason. Also, her name means "gift of the Nymphs" so, maybe she doesn't like what the name insinuates.

She never says. But the fact that it sounds like "nymphomaniac" is probably one reason.

Because that's what her mother named her- she and her mom don't get together very well 🙂
