Wow Malabar FC. Waiting for this name to come up. Good job Gokulam. I am enthused!
I don't mind region-named clubs, in fact, I prefer them, as every club have a hinterland for player supply; the immediate surroundings provide a symbiotic relationship with the club. Hence OK.
So much name changing is going on in India. You start your club with one name and one day the city name gets changed. If the name of state has two words, it is not appropriate to name the club on that long name. A particular city named club will attract fans only from that city.
Region or community based clubs are better-they will always identify with the club wherever they are and no name changing dilemma also.

Region-named clubs: Bayern (=Bavaria) Munich, Borussia (=Prussia) Dortmund. Doing not bad, aren't they?
