Nivea would be rather a pretty name.....

[Lambbone]

If it weren't for the fact that it is a face cream.

And Harpic would be quite a good boys' name.

Are there any other products out there that have nabbed what could be perfectly acceptable names?

[LettuceLaughton]

Izal would be a fantastic name.

[LucozadeBreath]

Covonia

[PurpleDaisies]

We're both science teachers so we have this conversation with chemical elements rather than cleaning products-
Antimony, Argon and Xenon are good for a boy.
For a girl what about Thallium (thali for short) or Iridium?

[LucozadeBreath]

PurpleDaisies my friend's brother is called Xenon

[KittiesInsane]

I used to know an Aniline, PurpleDaisies.

[MouldyPeach]

Lenor and Ariel

[TheTravellingLemon]

I like the name Aviva, which is actually a name. But ruined by insurance.

[PurpleDaisies]

That's interesting kitties - they lucked out not to be stuck with aminobenzene or phenylamine!

I've never met anyone with an element name in real life lucozade. I have met a child called Flash thought which definitely falls into the cleaning product category.

Ananya

[AnyoneButAndre]

Orangina and Chlamydia would be nice for girls.
Peristalsis has a highbrow Greek ring for a boy.

[ThereIsIron]

Heinz

[ThereIsIron]

Also always liked Enema as a girls name

[InQuiteAPickle]

Well you could always go for Neveah if you like Nivea. Sounds similar but a bit classier!

[InQuiteAPickle]

Anadin - would be a good unisex name.

[KittiesInsane]

Benzene would actually be a good name for a boy, Purple!

It's one of the few things I remember from A-level organic chemistry - everyone snurking each time Aniline was mentioned. She wasn't in our year, and I hope she chose history or something instead.

What sort of a thing is Ananya - not heard of it? Do you eat it or clear your drains with it?

[PestoSwimissimos]

I've always loved Broccoli for a girl

[psychotropic]

Nivea IS a girls name

[TheLowKing]

Nivea means 'snow-white (female)' in Latin. Interestin' fact.

[TheWoodenSpoonOfMischief]

Ananya is a name. I know someone called Ananya.

[hairbrushbedhair]

As a drinker of tons of kefir I couldn't sadly name a child keifer and i quite like the name

Wellington would make a good name too

[moggle]

We always joke about baby Debris... "Debris! Come 'ere!!"

[LisbethSalandersLaptop]

Daz or Surf would be lovely for a boy

[LisbethSalandersLaptop]

Daisies I did actually meet someone called 'Zircon' but his dyslexic dad spelt it wrong on the birth cert, so he was 'Zarcon'.

[JaneAustinAllegro]

Pashmina really should have taken off in the 90s
