Let’s talk about the Imagine Dragons for a second, specifically their name. Where did that come from? This is tricky.
The name is allegedly an anagram, a couple of words scrambled to make sense from another couple of words. Okay, so what words were used to create the name “Imagine Dragons”? The band won’t say. The only clue they’ve ever dropped is that some apostrophes might be required. But then they walked back on that. Using an online anagram machine, we know there are about 107,000 different combinations for the letters in “Imagine Dragons.” Guesses include “Adoring Images,” “A Roaming Design” and “God is in the Manager.”
The band appreciates the effort, but they’re still not saying.
