Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday are the only English League club with a day of the week in their name. The club derive their name from "The Wednesday Cricket Club", whose meetings were held on Wednesday afternoons. Wednesday was traditionally the day that the local steel workers who formed the club took their half-day off to play sports.
The club were formally known as "The Wednesday Football Club" until 1929, when the club was officially renamed "Sheffield Wednesday Football Club".

Billingham Synthonia is, I believe, the only football club named after fertiliser - synthetic ammonium nitrate.
