Re: why FL 50$

why is FL .25/.50 also called FL $50?

It isn't, or it shouldn't be.
NL with a $0.50 big blind is often called NL $50, since the maximum buy-in in most online games is $50.
FL is fixed limit; I'm not sure what the benefit is of using that instead of just saying limit, as it apparently looks too much like NL. No one should call a limit game with a $0.50 big blind FL $50. The usual name would be $0.50-$1. When you see two numbers describe a limit, they are normally the small bet (the bet size preflop and on the flop) and the big bet (the bet size on the turn and river). The numbers are not the blinds.
There isn't much significance to the amount you have at the table when you play limit. It is very important in NL. Players discussing buy-ins in limit usually have mistakenly used something from NL out of context.
