[edit] Name of the club, location of the club
It's Blackheath Football Club. I'm a member, and my membership card states it as Blackheath Football Club, Ltd.. While the website refers to it as Blackheath Rugby Club, it also refers to it as Blackheath FC several times. Match programmes refer to the club as Blackheath FC.
Also, I cannot claim to be completely familiar with the demarcation of different neighbourhoods (I've heard the area around the ground referred to as 'Rectory Field', obviously after the club ground), but the official address of the club is Charlton Road, Blackheath, so I would say that the ground is also located in Blackheath, not Charlton.

[edit] Nickname of the club
..is The Club. All official programmes, the club badge, the website refer to the club as The Club, or just Club. I have never heard BRC used by any Blackheath member, to be honest.
Also, when I get more time, I will update the website in regards to developments between the early years of rugby union and today - such as the Club having more internationals pre-professionalism than any club in the UK, possibly the world.
