At the minute the serviceName description incorrectly duplicates the productName description.

In most cases, we expect people to use service name, so this is an attempt to clarify what each is for and when to use them.

I know this is merged, and I don't know if it's helpful - but my service has opted to use productName rather than serviceName - at least in part because we've got a noun based name rather than a verb based name. When noun based, it sits better next to gov.uk - see Digital Marketplace, Verify, etc.

Arguably Verify and Pay are verbs.. they all become common nouns if we use them to name products, but they are verbs at origin.
