Why use the name of a period group at all? After all, Visigoths, Huns and the like did not go around in period chastising people for wearing clothing inappropriate to their time and place-- that is purely an SCA concept.
How about something like "Temporal Authenticity Enforcement Squad"? (I've been trying to come up with one with a good acronym, but no luck so far...anyone? Anyone? Bueller?)
