Also heard that the main difference between なんでとどうして　is the fact that なんで kind of works like "か" or "の" and seeks answer or affirmation. So なんで would be used for more "logical" or "simple" questions (ie. 何でお前が今帰る？）On the opposite end, ”どうして” is used for rhetorical questions or "unanswerable questions," questions one asks without seeking real answer, this is why a lot of Japanese love songs have どうして instead of なんで in their names (IE.どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう？)
