What was the original name of FAO Schwarz?

And the answer is ...

a) Toy Bazaar

Frederick August Otto Schwarz started adding his initials and surname to advertising for Toy Bazaar in 1889. But the name stuck, and when the store moved to 23rd Street in 1897, the Toy Bazaar part of the name was dropped.
