I landed on Mazarine last year.
1) I love the nn Mazzy. It reminds me of the band Mazzy Star, the ethereal loveliness of her voice.
2) the Echeveria Mazarine densely covered my mom's front garden; it was a carpet of blue-green succulents, lotus-blossom-shaped plants.
3) the Mazarine Blue, or Polyommatus semiargus, describes the blue butterfly tattoo on my sister's shoulder.
But I am puzzled because many people say it reminds them of "margarine." Why? I pronounce it "MAZ-uh-reen" which does not sound like "Margarine" to me. Why does it seem like "Margarine" to others?
