It's important to understand that team "nicknames" weren't always an official thing. They were mostly used by sports writers to avoid having to say "The Brooklyn Baseball team" or New Yorkers all the time.
That's why many early nicknames were descriptive (i.e based on uniforms or the teams size etc. ) I'm not sure (though I could be corrected) that the team was ever officially known as the "Trolley Dodgers" . That just became something that fans and writers said. Their first official name, again - I believe - was the Superbas Historians step in here and clarify.
