Please no. The unique AWS product names while occasionally inconvenient mean that you can at least find relevant information about them when searching, and you know that someone isn't confusing an AWS product with another platform or another style of deployment.

If you really don't like the AWS product names, then Azure is for you. Now go try to search for help with "Azure web apps" or "Azure sql database". Wade through the posts about locally deployed IIS, SQL server and the like.

I have no problem finding documentation for google cloud which has a similar naming scheme.

I don’t use a search engine though because they have made a good documentation site.

Adding a small identifier (as I suggested, even though jokingly) solves your problem as it’s easy to index:

Azure Cloud SQL Photon

That’s easy to understand it’s a Database and easy to search

What would be even easier to search is to use things that aren’t common words like:

Azure Cloud SQL R364T11

That’s hard to remember but likely narrows the search content drastically
