There's a well-known Sri Lankan cricket club called Nondescripts, and we know about the Corinthians. So maybe those were popular names for sports clubs at the time? Can't say I've ever heard of a club called Trojans, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I did a double-take on Carthusians, wondering why you'd call a house after another school, but of course it also refers to monks.
