Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda
That’s about what the original developer thought would be an appropriate name for people to have to say every time they wanted his lemon-lime drink.
Until 1950, like a lot of other sodas that weren’t purely sweet drinks, it also had a mood stabilizing drug (lithium citrate) in it. Given the obesity epidemic, maybe we should go back to the time where sodas were considered medications instead of constant kid drinks. ;)

My daughter doesn’t like pop.. My son gets it every once in a while. Usually rootbeer or the lemon lime. Rarely cola.
