Who suggested it was? In this country, when we come up with new sports, we tend to use a new word to describe that sport. This is why rugby isn't called football. It's BECAUSE IT'S RUGBY.
Hope that helps your clear confusion in this matter.

It is called rugby because that is where William Webb Ellis picked up the FOOTBALL and ran with it. So they named it after the place RUGBY.
