Grandmother was a nurse from the 30s until the late 70s, worked for several doctors in our small hometown. She told me one day she was delivering a child and they asked the mother what she was going to name the baby girl. Mama looked up at a chart on the wall and asked them how to pronounce a certain word. My grandmother said the word was "syphilis" (venereal disease poster on the deliver room wall). Lady said, "that's a pretty name" and named her daughter Syphilis. Now, not sure she was named after a product, but a by-product nonetheless.
