I mean, even nymph means the nubile mythological nature spirit, often some sort of temptress, like Calypso.
I asked my girlfriend what "nymphcast" sounded like to her and she agreed it seemed porn related.
Of course, it's only HN sport to bikeshed the name. I can't resist.

I blame the education system for not teaching kids more about insects and their life cycles :)

We had a locust in a tank at the back of the science lab and had to draw diagrams of the nymphs. But that was a long time ago.

Well, it's less about there being other definitions and more about there being a most commonly used definition.
But I've certainly belabored this thread to its miserable end. :P
No, “nymph” like “nymph”, I would assume: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nymph
