re: the team-naming thing: it has always bugged me that MLS team-naming conventions have been betwixt and between American and European. I don't mind "FC" at all, even though it's generic. I'd much rather that than Wiz, Burn, Mutiny etc. which have luckily been consigned to the dustbin of bad marketing. What still bugs me are the half-assed nods to European names with specific connotations and history: Sporting, Real, Inter, United. Smells like inferiority complex to me. "United" particularly bugs me, since it's rooted in the consolidation of 2+ local clubs, so it's stupid when applied to an expansion franchise created from scratch.
So many MLS teams are collective nouns: "Revolution," "Fire," "Galaxy." I think that's an effort to split the baby, by avoiding the American convention of plural nouns that is rarely found in English/European football with a few exceptions. I'd rather MLS teams just recognize national convention and use plural nouns. I'd much prefer the Minutemen to the Revolution, for example, if you're going to go with that theme.
To check both boxes, "Wanderers" is out there waiting to be claimed by an MLS team, and is excellent.
And I'll close with my often-repeated rant about "Cosmos." I am a RBNY fan because I can't root for anything associated with the Yankees, the stadium experience sucks, and I can't stand the little-brother association with City. The RBNY stadium is awesome and the travel is easier for me. But rooting for a team named after a product rankles, even though Red Bull does this throughout the world (of course the average American fan knows nothing of Salzburg and Leipzig so it looks bad). It's not much of an improvement on MetroStars. Yet the Cosmos brand languishes as the property of that little Napoleon who keeps trying to bootstrap another failed league. Pay that dude handsomely for the IP, rebrand RBNY as Cosmos, watch it go through the roof. There are still hipsters wandering around Brooklyn in Cosmos gear 40 years on. It would be awesome.
