My band name sucks

I've been making music solo and with a band under the name Dharma For One for like 6 years. It's become attached to me, and we've got Merch, websites etc all under that name.
Trouble is, it sucks.
I want to drop the For One and keep Dharma. I think it'll be easier to tell people our name without it being too long, and I won't lose the small amount of brand recognition that I already have. I'm also terrible at making and names that don't sound super shitty like DetRIOT or other Detroit related cringeclusters.
What do you guys think?

HAHAHA
I'm sorry, it really sucks.
Dharma sounds okay. I suck at making names for bands too, so I decided to just take names from other things for my bands:
Morningrise (Slowdive song), Walle (well, the robot), Langerhaus (a famous Mexican prison), etcétera...

Yeah I was 18 and huge in to Jethro Tull so I ripped the name off of that song. I was really into prog, jazz fusion, and other generally pretentious shit back then (and still am) and lacked the creativity to change the name.

"dharmani is equated to ceremonial devotion to the principles that gods used to create order from disorder, the world from chaos."

Yes. One made in a certain subcontinental sweatshop labouring under a caste system and a certain polytheistic faith...

one word names are a bitch to find if they aren't a weird made up word.
