I believe they named it a 'double helix'.
Watson & Crick
The two scientists names are James Watson and Francis Crick.
The double helical structure of DNA was found by James Watson and Francis Crick, hence the name "Watson And Crick Model" of DNA.howeverDNA was first identified and isolated by Friedrich Meischer.
Rosalind Franklin, her improved skills in X-ray crystallography provided a clear x-ray diffraction pattern which suggested that the DNA was helical in shape and nature. This image is what helped Watson and Crick complete their renowned double-helix structure.

The Watson and Crick scandal was when James Watson and Francis Crick were trying to figure out the 3 dimensional structure of DNA. They came very close to discovering it when they discovered a fellow scientist named Rosalind Franklin had the data they needed. Instead of collaborating with her, Watson and Crick broke into her lab, stole her data, quickly figured out the structure, and did not give her any credit. When they won the Nobel Prize in 1962, they mentioned many names but her name was not on the list. Later, Watson openly admitted that they stole from Rosalind Franklin.
