Is it more common to refer to women's leg hosiery as nylons or stockings?

From Wikipedia:

“Stockings (also known as hose, especially in a historical context) are close-fitting, variously elastic garments covering the leg from the foot up to the knee or possibly part or all of the thigh. Stockings vary in color, design, and transparency. Today, stockings are primarily worn for fashion and aesthetics, usually in association with mid-length skirts.”

From The New York Times:

“The modern hosiery era began with the democratization of silk stockings, which were once on the verge of seeming a contemptible extravagance. After World War I, the price dropped to put them within the reach of a middle class newly encountering the ‘‘artificial silk’’ of rayon, which on the one hand was cheap and on the other looked cheap. DuPont introduced nylon stockings at the New York World’s Fair of 1939 by presenting a model (Miss Chemistry) emerging from a test tube, her legs coated in a polymer boasting futuristic properties: ‘‘filaments as strong as steel, as fine as a spider’s web, yet more elastic than any of the common natural fibers.’’ Within two years, nylon had captured 30 percent of a market dominated by the silkworms of a bellicose Japan. During World War II, when DuPont directed its nylon toward ropes and tarps and parachutes, nylon stockings came off the market. When they reappeared, the shop-floor frenzies that followed were construed as Nylon Riots.”

From VintageDancer.com:

“In 1954, women purchased an average of 12 stockings a year to the total cost of $9. Nylon was being used so much to make stockings instead of silk that ‘nylons’ became synonymous with stockings, and remains so to this day. 1950s stockings were still held up with garters, which were attached to the bottom of girdles. Reinforced holes at the back and front of the stocking made clipping garters into place more secure than past decades. Knee high stockings with elasticized tops were a garter-less option, although they did tend to fall down if the fit was not perfect.”
