Monomolecular wire, not monofilament!

Can we say "monowire", as used in some gaming systems (e.g., GURPS)
for monomolecular wire, instead of monofilament, as used in nylon
fishing line? The term "monofilament," as commonly used, describes
a line or cord that is a single, non-crystaline, non-woven strand,
as in the monofilament nylon line commonly used with a rod and reel
for catching fish.
