Tendency has been to retain names.

Raith has never included Kirkcaldy though Morton added Greenock in 1990s. Clyde stuck with the river and eschewed Cumbernauld. Partick didn't become Maryhill Thistle.

Hamilton Academical, Forres Mechanics, Inverurie Loco Works, Wick Academy, Burntisland Shipyard, Dumfries YMCA, etc. etc. have all kept their suffixes.
Thirteen SPFL clubs now play closer to the River Clyde or the Firth of Clyde than Clyde:

Dumbarton, Morton, St Mirren, Rangers, Partick Thistle, Queen's Park, Celtic, Motherwell, Hamilton Accies, Airdrie, Albion Rovers, plus on the Firth, Ayr and Kilmarnock.

They’re licensed and sitting 7th in the Lowland league. Got there on merit too.  I don’t see Blackburn who left the second tier of junior football ever  getting anywhere near the EOS top league in my lifetime so what is your point?
Hope you live a lot longer than that comment implies.

I've always been of the opinion that the river was named after the Bully Wee.

Your question should be, how many rivers are closer to Broadwood than the River Clyde?
