Is that student Hispanic or from Latin American descent?
Naylon is a variant of
nailon, the Spanish form for the English
nylon. The use of odd words, mainly English words or exotic sounding words, as first names is not very usual but it is not unknown in some American Spanish speaking countries (i.e., Raini, Usnavi, Trademar...).
