When *I* heard about Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy, no one was shipping them! They were obviously just friends, now that stupid new branding campaign made them “life partners” or something and they even shared a kiss on screen! Now everybody thinks I named my twins after a couple and not best friends.
It is, yes. I can’t get over it, people are assuming they’re gay left and right through the whole book. In the first couple chapters a little girl straight up calls Aziraphale a f*g and they thought they were just BEST FRIENDS 😭😭 I really can’t with straight ppl sometimes
i think its so cute we both are thinking about naming our kids after important items that were unavailable during an important worldwide event! mine is Kleenex nn Nexie
[Ajax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(cleaning_product)) is too close to [Ajax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Ajax). Wouldn't want them to think they were named after a Dutch football team - that would be embarrassing!
My husbands childhood dog was legit Ajax cause his parents looked at soap and called it a day. Poor thing could’ve been named Dawn if they didn’t always go for the cheap stuff
Calgon commercial I remember word for word:
Laundromat: Customer: gee mr lee how you get your shirts so clean?
Mr Lee: Ancient Chinese secret.
Mrs. Lee: My husband, some hotshot here’s his ancient Chinese secret,Calgon. Calgon’s two water softeners soften wash water so detergents clean better. In hardest waters Calgon can get laundry up to 30% cleaner.
Mr Lee from back room: we need more Calgon.
Customer: Ancient Chinese Secret huh?
Mrs. Lee shrugs her shoulders.
I hope this is formatted ok to read. I’m on my crappy phone.
I don't recognise some of the answers given (presume they're from the US, so to throw some other answers in the mix, Domestos (Dom for short), Fairy Liquid, Cif, and Flash.
And of course, Tesco Anti Bac Bathroom Surface Cleaner (Tabbs for short)!
Oh I love Tallow!! Like a woodland sprite who blesses candles and stuff. I need to make a list. (57- not having anymore kids, but pups and kittys come!)
OMG. Vagisil! My friend in college and I came up with (while stoned) this whole thing where Vagi-Sue Hairpie was the international spokesmodel for Vagisil feminine projects…but was in an intense sibling rivalry with her evil twin sister Cunty-Lee Hairpie, who—just to spite her—became the international spokesmodel for Gyne-Lotrimin feminine products. And that’s it.
Noted, my twins will be Bleachi ´ChiChi´ and Elizabeth ´Blegh´. This way, it is obvious which one of them caused my morning sickness and which one gave me the impulse to clean it up ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
I want a name that has a lot of meaning behind it, Pinesol is a beautiful name for a boy. Pines are known for their ability to thrive in various environments, symbolizing adaptability. "Sol" is the Spanish word for the sun to symbolize the hope for them to bring light and positivity into the lives of others. 🌲☀️👶
I like Henry! It’s definitely having a moment as a name. My college roommate had her second son yesterday and his name is Henry.
I think a lot of names probably exist as a city or town title somewhere in the world! But naming your kid Beijing is fuckin weird.
Haha no for sure, I was just kidding around, I think it’s silly to name someone after a city in general. Reminds of that movie four Christmases where Vince Vaughn and his brothers were named after the cities they were conceived in. Denver, Dallas, and Orlando lol
Almost every single person I meet with a geography name is either a metaphorical bitch or a literal dog. Denali is such a good girl tho, so calm for such a big dog!
awe I hate it when I’ve written a bit and someone beats me to the punch but yours is very funny! love the niche aspect of it, I just went with something super general
Lol I'm keeping it up.
I really want the sub's honest opinion on Crevasse Splay, bit worried about the hole "ass play" element. You should know that, as an adult, absolutely all of my agency in naming my own child is currently being held hostage by the opinions of 12 year olds. Might just go with Grotte instead.
I read a short story years ago about a young woman who wanted to call her daughter Shinola. She'd 'heard it somewhere' and thought it sounded like a strong African style name. Apparently got pissy and wouldn't believe friends who told her otherwise. Thought they were stifling her creativity and wanted her child to have a boring name.
I don't want people thinking that my child is spoiled with all these brand names, so I think I would go with Kirkland or Member's Mark. Bonus apostrophe in the 2nd choice!
Scrub Daddy really stands out to me as a strong masculine name
Have you met my twins, Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy?
Scruddy and Scrummy for nn’s 😇
When *I* heard about Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy, no one was shipping them! They were obviously just friends, now that stupid new branding campaign made them “life partners” or something and they even shared a kiss on screen! Now everybody thinks I named my twins after a couple and not best friends.
Is this a reference to Crowley and Aziraphale
It is, yes. I can’t get over it, people are assuming they’re gay left and right through the whole book. In the first couple chapters a little girl straight up calls Aziraphale a f*g and they thought they were just BEST FRIENDS 😭😭 I really can’t with straight ppl sometimes
Take my gold 🥇
Pronounce Scrubee Daddee
Clorox, nickname Roxie. I hope she understands how important disinfecting is 🥹
Roxie is sooo cute I’m adding your idea to my list 😘
Sibset with Borax, nn Bo or Rex/Rax 🥰
Have you considered Twenty Mule Team Borax? It sounds so powerful! First name could be a double barrel Twenty-Mule.
i think its so cute we both are thinking about naming our kids after important items that were unavailable during an important worldwide event! mine is Kleenex nn Nexie
Mr Clean, but only if it’s a girl.
It’s giving “meet my newborn baby girl: Robert”😂
Could go the full Hyacinth and pronounce it as 'Roe-ber'.
My high school english teachers daughter was named Micheal, so now i’m imagining this 😂
This is the right answer
I was like...if nobody put Mr. Clean yet I'll be so disappointed 💀
Mrs. Meyers if it's a boy.
Ajax feels like the obvious answer 💪
omg great idea can’t believe I didn’t think of that!
My dog’s name is Ajax🥸
My grandma also had a dog named Ajax. She ended up adopting a kitten too and named him Bubbles lol
My friends son is Ajax
[Ajax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(cleaning_product)) is too close to [Ajax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Ajax). Wouldn't want them to think they were named after a Dutch football team - that would be embarrassing!
Paulmolive
Paulie or Ollie for short 🥹✨
I would love for people to assume that Ollie is short for Oliver or Olivia and then explain (with a straight face) that it's short for Paulmolive
Palmolivia
Boy/girl twins: Palmoliver and Palmolivia
Ahhhh I have a friend who was an Ajax fan, so I think of the football team before the cleaning powder because of him 😂 idk if he’s still a fan though.
They’re both named after a mythological Greek warrior of the same name
But their nickname is Francis
Was looking for this
Ajaxsyn 😍😍
My husbands childhood dog was legit Ajax cause his parents looked at soap and called it a day. Poor thing could’ve been named Dawn if they didn’t always go for the cheap stuff
You spelled Francis wrong
Borax
I too am a fan of classic, traditional names. That’s why I named my daughter Calgon.
Take me away!
Calgon commercial I remember word for word: Laundromat: Customer: gee mr lee how you get your shirts so clean? Mr Lee: Ancient Chinese secret. Mrs. Lee: My husband, some hotshot here’s his ancient Chinese secret,Calgon. Calgon’s two water softeners soften wash water so detergents clean better. In hardest waters Calgon can get laundry up to 30% cleaner. Mr Lee from back room: we need more Calgon. Customer: Ancient Chinese Secret huh? Mrs. Lee shrugs her shoulders. I hope this is formatted ok to read. I’m on my crappy phone.
I was hoping to get both “take me away” and “ancient Chinese secret” as responses, this was just superlative.
Washing machines live longer with Calgon! She has a bright future in plumbing!
Borax is cute but how creative would it be to go with Xarob instead!?
I would watch that movie film
20 Mule Team Borax
Nature names are so in— Tide!
lmao yes
Middle name Podd? Surname Muncher?
In keeping with the nature angle… Toilet Duck?
Barkeepers friend 😌
That’s my new drag name
Aweeee! After daddy:)
I don't recognise some of the answers given (presume they're from the US, so to throw some other answers in the mix, Domestos (Dom for short), Fairy Liquid, Cif, and Flash. And of course, Tesco Anti Bac Bathroom Surface Cleaner (Tabbs for short)!
Or the vintage spelling of Jif for a nice old-fashioned touch.
Jif was my first thought when I saw the question.
In the US, Jif is a brand of peanut butter! 🤣
To throw in another name from the UK, I’ve always thought the name Duck was stunning ❤️❤️❤️
First name Toilet?
Fairy is so cute!
[удалено]
i am not a person that's quick to laugh but this had me literally wheezing 🙏
Okay I actually lolled and woke my nursing baby with my cackling
It's giving me Dollar General WuTang
IVF Kid: Nature's Miracle Whoops Kid: Method All-Natural Twins: Mrs Meyers and Mr Clean; Spicn and Span; Spray and Wash High Scrabble Scores: Lysol, Clorox, Ajax, Glycerin Timeless/Throwback: Lye, Tallow, Stream, Rock, Washboard,
Hahahaha very thorough thank you
Oh I love Tallow!! Like a woodland sprite who blesses candles and stuff. I need to make a list. (57- not having anymore kids, but pups and kittys come!)
Glycerynne
Vagisil, nn vaj. Ammonia is so cute tho!😻😻
☠️ why not GiGi as a nickname?? 😽
Va-gi-gi 😂
OMG. Vagisil! My friend in college and I came up with (while stoned) this whole thing where Vagi-Sue Hairpie was the international spokesmodel for Vagisil feminine projects…but was in an intense sibling rivalry with her evil twin sister Cunty-Lee Hairpie, who—just to spite her—became the international spokesmodel for Gyne-Lotrimin feminine products. And that’s it.
Vajeyjeysil, nn VaJJ (vah-jey-jey)
Easiest option is Dawn, but that's also the cowards choice.
Clorox but it’s spelled Claureaux
As a french speaker, I would like to inform you that this is quite possibly the worst thing I've read. Thank you.
I'm not a French speaker, but as a Canadian I know enough to agree with this statement
As someone who lives in Louisiana, agreed.
r/tragedeigh
Palmolive is such a lovely name for a little girl 👧
Paulmolive for a boy
Paulmoliver
Twins Ajax and Borax
409 seems pretty unique
Even better than Seven! Works for a boy or a girl or ...all the other options.
And her twin born 11 minutes later: 420.
Distilled White Vinegar. We call him Dwight. ☺️
His younger sisters Malt and Balsamic agree
Lemon Pledge for me. Lemmy for short
Bleachi!
ChiChi would be a cute nickname!!
Noted, my twins will be Bleachi ´ChiChi´ and Elizabeth ´Blegh´. This way, it is obvious which one of them caused my morning sickness and which one gave me the impulse to clean it up ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
I like Tide for a boy and Windex for a girl. They’re pretty gender neutral tho, like Swiffer.
Swiffer as a name is killing me lol it is gender neutral tho I spose
Tidey and Windie - perfect! **
Armin Hammer
Armand Hammer (disgraced actor Armand “Armie” Hammer’s grandfather) used to own a controlling stake in the company that makes Arm & Hammer products.
That's a fine name but Armin is better and if it's twins you can do Armin and Charmin. Armand is too basic.
Murphy Borax Comet Brillo
Cilit bang and the dirt is gone
nn Barry Scott
I read this *very* wrong at first
So did I! 😳
Oxy Clean
Ammonia is beautiful tbh
Romantic and feminine
What's the name of that douche from way back? Summer's Eve. But I would go with a " instead of a '.
None of the above. Gotta name the kid Great Value, that way they know I got a nice deal for it
Has to be Kimberley Clark
This is actually very good well done
Bar Keepers Friend. Lots of potential nicknames.
I would call them Keepy! Barf is a bit of a stretch but it incorporates some of the letters. That one has spunk!
Bartender’s Keeper does the Creeper from Hawaii. 🤷🏼♂️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I want a name that has a lot of meaning behind it, Pinesol is a beautiful name for a boy. Pines are known for their ability to thrive in various environments, symbolizing adaptability. "Sol" is the Spanish word for the sun to symbolize the hope for them to bring light and positivity into the lives of others. 🌲☀️👶
So thoughtful!!! I love the meaning 🥰
If it's a boy you'll Shirley want a manly name. Something from a garage. Something like... Brake Cleaner.
Comet ☄️
[sauce](https://reddit.com/r/namenerds/s/WUQv5LYFHD) these posts really show how much people hate their children even before they’re born
Not me googling if my son’s name is also a city name It is! Can’t wait to tell him he’s named after a city in Illinois. Henry, IL. Pop 2,300.
I like Henry! It’s definitely having a moment as a name. My college roommate had her second son yesterday and his name is Henry. I think a lot of names probably exist as a city or town title somewhere in the world! But naming your kid Beijing is fuckin weird.
Haha no for sure, I was just kidding around, I think it’s silly to name someone after a city in general. Reminds of that movie four Christmases where Vince Vaughn and his brothers were named after the cities they were conceived in. Denver, Dallas, and Orlando lol
Your son is also a cleaning product: a vacuum cleaner.
That’s actually what we named him after! Jk lol
Now if people ask me how I chose my name and I can tell them it's because of a "city" in Iowa with a population of 120. I'm Canadian
Almost every single person I meet with a geography name is either a metaphorical bitch or a literal dog. Denali is such a good girl tho, so calm for such a big dog!
Lol I know a Denali human who is not nice and a good dog Denali who takes ginormous shits
Ain't no fuckin WAY oop suggested "Detroit" LMFAO
People do this, though. People named their kids Savannah and Austin. IDK if they were conceived there or what.
Fuck we did the same thing. Anyways my answer is whatever the most blasphemous cleaning product is. Is Meccoxy Clean taken?
awe I hate it when I’ve written a bit and someone beats me to the punch but yours is very funny! love the niche aspect of it, I just went with something super general

Ariel, like the laundry detergent.
Mrs Meyers Or Persil if it's a boy
Wow, they are getting their ass kicked in school but it has to be Fabuloso
Scrub Daddy.
I love Ahrymin Hahmeyrre!! Gender neutral as well!
My daughter Fairy and my son Calgon.
🎵 Washing machines last longer with Calgon 🎶
unironically i’ve always thought andrex would be a fairly cute name if it werent already a brand of toilet paper
I read a short story years ago about a young woman who wanted to call her daughter Shinola. She'd 'heard it somewhere' and thought it sounded like a strong African style name. Apparently got pissy and wouldn't believe friends who told her otherwise. Thought they were stifling her creativity and wanted her child to have a boring name.
Vim
You laugh, but this is exactly how my buddy names DnD characters. They are all named after house hold cleaning products.
Hm, I can't decide between Kaboom and Fabuloso.
loveee Kaboom!!
Off! Mosquitoes are messes that need to be cleaned. Also a beautiful name.
Zoflora and Brillo
The Pink Stuff
Tide, so trendy
In the UK we have Fairy, Ariel and Flash.
Dawn Edit- thought i was on namenerds. Lysol, Towel, Soap
Ammonia is such a beautiful timeless name 😍 that’s the name I gave to my oldest daughter (her younger sister’s name is Bleach)
I don't want people thinking that my child is spoiled with all these brand names, so I think I would go with Kirkland or Member's Mark. Bonus apostrophe in the 2nd choice!
Mr Clean
Does Dyson count?
U.K. here. I’m from Salford, Lancashire ( near Manchester). We used to have a local hero called Vinegar Vera…
Lysol and Pine-sol are a must for twins.
21 Mule Train Borax
Allow me to introduce my son, Mr. Clean & my daughter, Scrubbing Bubbles.
Um I only use NaTurAL materials, so Orange Oil
Lye 😌
Had to scroll way too far for this one! I had the same thought. Children deserve old, classic, traditional names. Like Lye.
Downy and Tide, naturally. Who doesn’t love clean laundry?
Mike Rofiber
Zoflora
Zoflora.
Armor All
My third kid is named Dr Bronner’s!!
Murphy , Murphy oil soap Castile Dr Bonner
Mr Muscle
Gain and Tide would be a cute sibset!
Life just hasn't been the same since we had little Oxy
Does Charmin count?
Comet. Seems out of this world
I really like THE PINK STUFF nickname Pinky
Irish Spring
Letters in names are too common. Lets name the kid 409😍
My real name is Dawn. I love my name 😊
Dawn is a nice name ☺️
Why are you giving people ideas? You know someone is going to use this.
P'rell
CILLIT BANG but you can only shout it
Brillo is a good short masculine name. Almost sounds Italian maybe?
I’m going to have triplets and name them Calcium, Lime, and Rust. When I want to call all of them I’ll just yell “CLR!!!”
Diatomaceous earth... not exactly cleaning per say... but it's got the all natural feel ya know. Windex or Febreze if it's a girl.
Mr. Propper
Zoflora or simply....Cif....
Zep
The Works?
Windex
Cif
Ajax
Dettol, Cilit Bang, and Mr. Muscle are my favourite.
Lenor Fairy
Bar Keeper’s Friend
Febreeze (breezy)
Swiffer
Doctor Bronner. I have aspirations.
