Looks like ふ but is read as な

Someone was asking me why this Geikos name looks like Mafumi but is read Manami. Is it written in cursive Hiragana? I'm really curious about this. Thanks for the help!

That is actually an archaic "na," which is derived from the same kanji 奈. It's actually on the table on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hentaigana
