"Navnet Nylon er en sammentrækning af bynavnene New York og London.", tilføjede Bruger:Msc191070, men enwiki modsiger dette:
- There is no evidence that nylon was named after New York and London. In 1940 John W. Eckelberry of DuPont stated that the letters "nyl" were arbitrary and the "on" was copied from the names of other fibers such as cotton and rayon. A later publication by DuPont (Context, vol. 7, no. 2, 1978) explained that the name was originally intended to be "No-Run" ("run" meaning "unravel"), but was modified to avoid making such an unjustified claim and to make the word sound better. The story goes that Carothers changed one letter at a time until DuPont's management was satisfied. But he was not involved in the nylon project during the last year of his life, and committed suicide before the name was coined. There is another story (repeated in James Burke's TV series Connections) that another one of the names considered was to be Duparooh for DUpont Pulls A Rabbit Out Of a Hat. Nylon was never trademarked. (fra etymologi-afsnittet)
