Hi Morty,

My big (34 string) Celtic harp is Nereida. When she was being made I was driving back & forth to the harpmaker's place every couple of weeks and the street name just before his place is Nereida Street. A Nereid is a sea nymph, and when I finally wondered what my harp's name might be, Nereida popped into my head.

For some reason, and I have no idea why, my 28 string lap harp is called Dante.

I don't know if my hubby Bruce would like having the same name as a mandolin, but I guess there are worse entities to share your name with than a mandolin.
