A query was sent out to the illustrious “Dinosaur Mailing list” http://dml.cmnh.org to see what some "Verties" and “backboned badlanders” had to suggest...and here is well, what they had to say:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Eastern Ontario Natural History Society (EONS) (this one was chosen by the vote. It was to the point and had a nice acronym (which was suggested in the one reply not included here)
Paleodiversity club (along the lines of Paleoworld, Palaeogeographica etc.)
Elkanah Deep Time society
-Jonas Weselake George

“Here are a few that came to mind.
"Paleocurrents" (past and present as you requested) a great name for a
club and a newsletter. I don't know if it is already taken somewhere
for a "club" but there is a paleocurrents.com website affiliated with
Denver Museum of Natural Science. This does not preclude you using the
name as a .org or a net site but I might check with DMNS first.
"Paleosciencia" (from the latin "ancient" and latin "to know" ) which
comes up nowhere in google or alta vista searches and is free for the
taking as a .com or otherwise (probably)
"Paleofutura" (speaks for itself)
"Intelligent Redesigners" for those thinking the ancient was always
turning into something different.
"Huttonians" (not well understood by the laymen though but certainly
promotes the present and the past ie, uniformatarianism)
"Later Day Antiquarianists" or "LDA" (literally past science) perhaps
reaching a bit.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
"The Uniformatarianist Club"
Club motto: "We can change the world. Just give us 10 million years."
Or, if you swing the other way:
"The Catastophist Club"
Club motto: "Hey!! What the f....."
Do you have any agnostics and dyslexics in your club?
"Dyslexic Agnostic Naturalists"
Club motto: "What's all this fuss about people claiming that a Dog created the universe?"

How about "Old LIfe"?

how about:
Life: past to present.
Sort of conveys the ideas os biology and palaeo, plus, obviously theres a lot more past than present so should emphasise the palaeo past.
