What are the right name for those little things that help you keep your keys together? Keychain or keyring?

... and what if there's no chain between ring and key?

In swedish its actually "nyckelring". Nyckel=key. So a direct translation should in fact be keyring!
But to end all speculations, the only fair thing is to put them against each other in a fair fight. And what better thing to use than Googlefight!
http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=keyring&word2=keychain
The winner is keychain!
Thank you all for viewing! Next week the contestants is "fourthousandfour" ,"Four-o-o-four" and "foutry-o-four".
Good night!
