I'm sure this has come up before, but I couldn't find anything in the last 5 pages and didn't want to revive an ancient thread.
Anyway, if applicable, does your party have a title they're known by in your game? I'll start with my own party... it's a group of non-humans, including a Goblin, Half-Orc, two Tieflings, a Drow, and one NPC the group is escorting who is some kind of homebrew race that we're still in the middle of trying to figure what the Hell he is. As a bit of a joke, the Goblin (me) started to introduce ourselves as "The Monster Squad", since we're all, on some level, monstrous races. Everyone else objected, but eventually NPCs started to recognize us by name, and it got repurposed to mean that we're a group that fights monsters.
We're working on it, but we discussed something with "No Gender" or similar, because our party consist of a Warforged, a Changeling and a Dragonborn (who's non binary). The only member of the party who's cis (In game) is the elvish sorcerer
We call ourselves the Company of the Owlbear. Why? No particular reason, other than owlbears are cool. :P We first came together fighting the Cults of Elemental Evil in Princes of the Apocalypse. After, we took over the abandoned keep of the Cult of the Crushing Wave, and we've been attracting retainers to the keep, making repairs and upgrades, etc. In subsequent campaigns, some of those original characters continue to play, but with players who roll new characters, we often have it be the case that they've heard of the Owlbears and come to offer their services and ask to join our company as we continue to protect the region and the wider world from menace... They've more or less become folk heroes throughout the Sword Coast...

OH! This is a staple for all my campaigns! Lol!!!!
Probably my favorite adventuring party name of all time is one I play in on the weekends currently. We call ourselves "The Booze Travelers". We just decided to have a fun name for us with no particular connotations to our characters outside of the fact that we all enjoy a good brew at the local lodges and taverns. Our runner up was "Caravan Ramrod" because we used to have a character player in our group that looked like Farva from Super Troopers, ha!

Maybe try to sound a little mystical with it and go with "The Ungendered"
Over the course of a few years, we went from Danger, Inc. to Danger Unlimited to Danger Preferred to The Blood Drinkers (when some people left and some new people joined) to DangerBlood Amalgamated (when some old people came back) and I think the joke finally ran out of steam at The Law Offices of Danger, Danger & Danger ("Where Danger is our Middle Name!").
I'm in two campaigns currently. One based in Greyhawk. We are a low level band of adventurers out of Highfolk known as the Ravens thanks to a familiar and a couple of members with a penchant for black. One of the "jokes" is that two of our party are spoiled noble siblings sent to learn to no be spoiled ******** after a scandal in court. They dress is rakish, black style. Their money and charisma initially earned them popularity in town and set several fashions.
The one based in the Realms is set in 1356 DR. We are the Hunters- a band of reckless youths who received one of many commissions by King Azoun to find his runaway daughter. Hijinx ensue.
The first time we ended up in a position to name the group I suggested Team Blizzard : we all had something blue or cold-related about us (white dragonborn who was an evocation wizard focusing on cold magic, our Arcane Trickster's only offensive spell was Ray of Frost, and our mascot was my char's familiar, a snow owl named Blizzard...). The group liked it.
Over time our characters changed, mostly because they died horribly in an alternate realm inside a painting leading to a demon-infested castle where unspeakable horrors were planning to invade our world and slaughter everyone. Our new chars were a forest gnome wizard that spoke to animals and had an owl familiar, a tortle monk, and a kenku, and my character: a Firbolg druid that also spoke to animals and often summoned animals. So I suggested the name Safari and it stuck. Our current group sorta, mostly to themselves, keep the name although only the kenku remains of that original lot: we now have another kenku, an aaracokra with a bird familiar, a human wizard with a bird familiar, and.. a talking cat. The wizard is being replaced soon with a Tabaxi. Both the kitties are mine. YAY KITTIES!

None of my groups have ever had a name that I recall, though my newer groups have talked about it out of game in recent years. I honestly think it's due to online games/groups like Critical Role's Vox Machina/Meighty Nein, Acquisition Inc, Waffle Crew etc that this has become a thing. I am looking forward to my groups developing or coming up with a good name, sure it will happen in the next few months with me running 3 campaigns and playing in 2.
I remember being very intrigued by the first Forgotten Realms boxed set devoting considerable space to the structure and naming of adventuring companies. Thanks to those early pages and the Companions of Dragonlance, most adventuring bands I've been in have had a name either given to us or one we chose.
I'm DMing a new group that decided to have an all-kobold party whose members are named Mizzard, Gizzard, & Blizzard. As Gizzard is a spell caster, that makes him Gizzard the Wizard Lizard. They've decided on "Lizard Gang" as their party name.
My groups name is The Sewercide Squad, because one of their first quests was to clear the sewer systems of a city from giant spiders. They almost died, then started complaining to the townmaster that it was a suicide mission, and then a little later the townmaster asked them for the groups name.........
I DM for a modern campaign, and while the name of the party isn't determined by them (because they roll with the campaign title) even for the one this is a sequel to.
However, there's a bard and his band name is Bionic Poultry, because he watched robot chicken earlier. This name was made up, because we forgot what it was the first time around, but we remembered it was Raptor Sex Bomb, we got it from TFS at the table.
My group calls ourselves Buttalks - The second best in the west. We tend to do a lot of jokes and overall stupid stuff in our campaign so the first idea was Buttocks and later we realized that we say really stupid stuff a lot so we renamed it to Buttalks since everything we say is complete and utter crap.
For example we were tearing down camp one time and I just remember saying something along the lines of "If anyone needs to pee, I recommend they do it on the fire, I really don't want to waste our water" to which I was met with our party's dwarf responding "I was planning to already, wanna cross streams?"
Note: My group has a really crude sense of humor and that translated into our characters
We finished Storm King's Thunder at relatively low level (8th I think) and wanted to keep playing the same characters so we picked up Rage of Demons, cutting out the first half of that campaign. We've kept the name and it worked well as a segue into RoD because it was a way for our characters to be contacted to help with the occurrences in the Underdark because of their fame from SKT.
The group I'm part of on Sundays is called "Honeydew Solutions". I'm pretty sure we got the name from a random generator and found it so hilarious we decided to stick with it. A running gag is that whenever we reveal our name, the NPCs are always confused. And our unofficial slogan is "If you have a mission/problem, we'll HoneyDO it"
I was briefly in a Waterdeep Dragonheist game. As a joke, I suggested that the party name could be the "Zoo Crew", since we had a Dragonborn, a Tabaxi and a Kenku in the party (the human and the dwarf were the zookeepers, I guess). To my surprise the rest of the group decided to go with it.
The party I GM online are known as "The party of the Bright Spear," since they posses a minor artifact known as the Bright Spear. So far they have only unlocked the first ability it posses, the ability to shed light to 120 ft radius. And it functions as a +1 weapon.
In my home game the group are the Knights of Stormhammer.They cleared an old keep for the local king, one of the players was made a baronet, and he appointed his friends his knights.
The keep was called Stormhammer Keep, so they are the Knights of Stormhammer.

Here, have some homebrew classes! Subclasses to? Why not races. Feats, feats as well. I have a lot of magic items. Lastly I got monsters, fun, fun times.

The Heroes of the Ordning

We've kept the name and it worked well as a segue into RoD because it was a way for our characters to be contacted to help with the occurrences in the Underdark because of their fame from SKT.
As the lead figures of a growing rebellion based out of a druid grove, we are Lux Silvis - the Light from the Forest.
