Swannundaze--how named?

I recall reading (don't recall where) that the inventor of Swannundaze
named it for his two kids. Does the "und" in the middle imply it's a
German invention?

What were the kids' names?

Is this just Urban Folklore?

Thanks. vince

According to Randall Kaufmann in his nymph tying book, "the name dates back
to when the only plastic body material was Swannundaze." HTH

Oops. I reread your post more carefully and now see that you were asking
about the material, not the midge pattern. My fingers often work more
quickly than my brain.

Yep. I've had that happen too many times while typing out posts to these
NG's. Then Microsoft spell checker does the same exact thing. Go figure.
