In Isaac Asimov's novel and short story (short story later expanded) Nightfall, there's a character named "Theremon 762".
The whole novel is about darkness and innate fear, and a theremin, a type of musical instrument, is known for being used to convey a sense of suspense or fear.
Is there any evidence that Asimov based Theremin 762's name on the instrument?
