No, Imagine Dragons is kind of cool… if you believe them when they say it’s not their real band name. They originally came up with a phrase that meant something special to all of them, but they didn’t think it would work as a band name, so they anagrammed it into Imagine Dragons (I assume some letters were reused or left off somehow). So there’s this big mystery over what their real name is.

And that kind of plays into some dragon lore where if you know a dragon’s true name, you have control over it. You don’t know Imagine Dragons’ true name — no one does. Perfectly acceptable if you think a band having a secret name is lame. They’ve said at some point they may reveal it, but they’re afraid people will be disappointing, because as they originally said, it wouldn’t make for a cool name.
