That's BS. Only people who use cosmetics and who reside in whatever part of the world Lush sells to would expect that. Furthermore, even they shouldn't be too surprised since Lush is an actual English word AND a common surname. Anybody could have claimed it for valid reasons AND Lush the cosmetics company failed to do so.
Your argument is like going to something named Windows, finding a builder who installs windows in houses and being incredulous that it wasn't Microsoft Windows.
I wish that companies like Google and the world's various court systems would stop pandering to these crying marketing department babies. If they care so much about their precious brands they should be more creative and stop trying to own surnames and real dictionary words. Also, they should have taken the Internet more seriously and claimed their names when they were still available.
