First, I needed to change my name from what it was (SynTek) because I was accused of ripping off the game Sin (I didn't oddly) or having a badly spelled take on the oil brand. After coming back from my first deployment, sheer boredom had gotten me to install CS:Source. Unfortunately, having not played counter strike in years meant I was fairly terrible. In a moment of drunken inspiration, I decided the perfect way to lower the expectations of my team was to give myself an appropiate name - thus Eclectic Dreck was born. I seem to be the only person who strings those words together so it's never taken and it's usually confused for "Electric Derek".
I've also considered using "Extrema on an Interval" as a name but it's far too long. Maybe I'll use that for any future bands I front.
