No; nymphs are strictly meant to be FEMALE nature spirits. This does not mean that in Greek myth there are not male nature spirits, only that the females are called nymphs.
MALE nature spirits are called satyrs.
Nymphs were spirits in Greek and Roman mythology. They would take care of trees, flowers, and animals as well as beaches, meadows, and rivers. Male Nymphs were called Satyrs, Panes, Potamoi and Tritons. Dryads were tree nymphs generally said to live in oak trees.

Nereid's Roman name is Nerine. In mythology, Nereids are sea nymphs and daughters of the sea god Nereus. They are often associated with the Mediterranean Sea and are known for their beauty and kindness. Nerine embodies the characteristics of these sea deities in Roman mythology.
In the most traditional, classical, Greek and Roman based mythology, fauns and satyrs are only male. They reproduce with dryads and nymphs. However, beginning in 16th century poetry mentions of female fauns, called a faunesses or satyresses, started to appear.

1. In Greek and Roman mythology, nymphs were spirits of nature who appeared as young women. The painting showed nymphs and shepherds playing in the woodland. 2. A nymph is the larva, or young form, of an insect such as a dragonfly. The nymphs of aquatic species, such as dragonflies, have gills and other modifications for living in the water.
I'm pretty sure they are called nymphs.
