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?

Toddler wanted to call baby girl Mayonaise. It's actually quite a nice sound really!

I always like Papillion for a girl, but aside from meaning butterfly in French, apparently it's also a breed of dog

I've always thought Lochia would be a beautiful name for a girl. Maybe with a sister Melaena.

Damselindestress · 16/10/2015 23:43

Evian would be good for a girl.

I used to like Lux for a girl but apparently it's a popular brand of soap in America (and the Virgin Suicides connection is a bit off putting.)

Magpie. My dd was nearly aurora. Until my sister mentioned the hotels dahn sahff.

Girls

Zafira
Meriva
Aygo

Syria would be a beautiful girl's name, I've always thought, were it not for the unfortunate associations with hideously war-torn country ...

standinginthedoorway · 15/10/2015 10:46

Veet could be a cool name for either a girl or boy.

For a girl:

Olay
Contessa
Visa

For a boy:

Bertolli
Magnum
Gillette

Tena. But middle name 'Penny' would have to be avoided.

maggiethemagpie · 14/10/2015 21:36

Arora - the hotel chain

Actually campanile - another hotel chain - sounds quite nice too

Sgtmajormummy · 12/10/2015 00:00

Colgate is a real name (remember the Gilmore Girls?) and unless you're Spanish, I think Mercedes isn't a great choice...

pnutter · 11/10/2015 23:41

Kiora
Camay
Lux
Nutella
Can you tell ive been to the poundshop

WhiteHairReally · 11/10/2015 23:23

Floralys (Lidl's loo paper and toilet wipes brand)

Limer · 11/10/2015 20:25

Jif
Bisto

Zoflora

WillSomebodyThinkOfStefan · 10/10/2015 19:56

As a pharmacist I would go for:
Xerelto
Lyxumia
Evista
Lyrinel
Indivina
Elleste
Sandrena

bolleauxnouveau · 10/10/2015 16:47

Insomnia would be a good name for a baby, and her sister Dyspepsia.

SoftBlocks · 10/10/2015 16:37

zampa

Myopia is lovely

ClashCityRocker · 10/10/2015 16:35

I had my SIL convinced that fellatio was a good name for a boy - until she googled it...(I would have stepped in if she was seriously considering it probably).

Pipbin · 10/10/2015 16:28

I've always loved Broccoli for a girl

Lettice is a name so I can't see why not.

PattyPenguin · 10/10/2015 16:25

I can't find Nivea as a Spanish girl's name. There's Nieves, which is one of the names from descriptions of the Virgin Mary, like Mercedes, Dolores and Pilar. (It means 'snows'.)

Laquila · 09/10/2015 21:17

Isn't Nivea a Spanish girls name?

ChessieFL · 08/10/2015 19:03

Sorry Lambbone, Ananya was one of the Body Shop perfumes in the 90s
