Hearts Ladies F.C. → Heart of Midlothian W.F.C. – While "Hearts" is a common shortening of the team name, using the full name "Heart of Midlothian" would be consistent with the article on the associated men's team. Also for consistency with similar articles, we normally use the abbreviation "W.F.C." or "L.F.C." rather than the word "Women's" or "Ladies" in full. As with a lot of other women's teams, there is inconsistency as to which of these terms is used by sources. For Hearts, although "Hearts Ladies FC" or simply "Hearts FC" is used by the SWPL website team page, the correct name would appear to include "Women's" as per the team's official Facebook and Twitter pages. (Their website isn't much help: the address is heartsladies.co.uk, but the site welcomes you to "Heart of Midlothian Women and Girls' Football Club"; in any case it hasn't been active since 2015.)
