This reminds me of MRI which started out as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging, but dropped "Nuclear" because of the stigma it carried.

There's a less cynical explanation for that.

"NMR" sounds a lot like "enema" and you don't want to get the two mixed up.

I'd never realised that before. Thank you, I think.

Deary, deary me.
