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?

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.

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

Lenor and Ariel

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?
