Nylon got it's name from the World Trade Fair in New York. The NY from New York, provided the first two letters of the name nylon.
Then in the 1950's manufacturers discovered they could add stretch to nylon by crimping it under heat thus in 1959 Du Pont invented Lycra!
Du Pont! Gay men everywhere (and women) salute you! (How little did he know!)
