From Quiz Team History: Liverpool FC

Answer: The FA rejected alternate names for the club

Prior to Liverpool FC's creation, Anfield was the home of Everton FC. When the rent for the stadium reached extortionate levels, Everton left the stadium. With Anfield empty, Liverpool's Lord Mayor John Houlding founded Liverpool FC to fill Anfield. Houlding had wanted to keep the Everton name for the new club, registering the club at Companies House with the name "Everton Football Club and Athletic Grounds Company Limited". Both the FA and the Football League refused to recognise the new club as Everton, so Houlding renamed the team accordingly.
