For what it's worth I quite fancy the London Clash. That said, frankly, you can change all you like but it won't matter a jot in terms of attendances without having a team that is capable of mounting a serious challenge for Wembley and/or Old Trafford

Yes we did have attendances of around 5K as London Broncos, though someone said when we were good, but your claim for the Quins name has simply not worked, so Yes we got to find another name!
I think the Broncos will be the name chosen. As jaybs said, Broncs were pulling 5k in SL1 and SL2, but that was with proper investment, and proper marketing, also a Challenge Cup Final might have added something to the mix But I think Broncos, with the Yellow, Red and Blue shirts encompasses the identity of London Rugby League. Mix that with a new marketing strategy over 10, 15 years, and we'll see a booming London RL scene at the end I think.
I also think they've already decided to reuse the Broncos name, which is a shame as it's not unique.
There's a Titans (Staines Titans RLFC) and a Storm (South London Storm RLFC) within 10 miles of the Quins, so I'm sure thee clubs wouldn't be too pleased if their name was used.
I also chose London Blitz in my list of 4 names, and I liked the London Ravens and London Eels suggestions people have mentioned. I also went for London Snapdragons, Effra and Fleet for the other three suggestions.
It still seems odd to have London anything, as London's such a big place. A bit like when bands play at Wembley and say "Hello London". So West London... sounds better, although it might sound stupid if the club ever relocated again (hopefully not)
