    I might actually use "Coconut Oil" for one of my items, but I don't know what it will be for yet.

    Anyway, i wouldn't be too worried about using item names that also exist in final fantasy. Lots of games use the word "elixir", and it was a thing even before games became a thing.
    Thanks, the main problem is that their will be another item, that will have a name that is based on the previous one, so while I won't have a "Megalixir", I do still a name which is based on "Elixir", if "Elixir" is used, so if I don't use "Elixir", then I don't get too close to Final Fantasy by having the next item be named after a play on "Better than an elixir", but at the same time I want to kind of show what inspired me.

    There's already an aspect in the storyline that is close to Final Fantasy VII anyway... two aspects, actually.

    Thanks for the advice, I will consider it.

    Maybe instead try and develop something original that you can use as a part of world building? Make it a precious resource or commodity, perhaps?
