Name Origin:
The inspiration for the duet's name is an ongoing inside joke. Originally it was believed that the name came from the scene in the classic movie Jaws when a character named Johnny is attempting to flee from the shark as his friend shouts from the pier, "Swim, Johnny, swim!"

An interview with Vogue revealed that the two planted the Jaws story on their Wikipedia entry. The article then states that the name Johnnyswim actually comes from the name of Amanda’s goldfish when she was a kid. The fish died and floated to the top of the bowl, and Amanda’s mom was trying to get rid of it before Amanda could find it. But Amanda walked in and started yelling “No wait - he’s alive! Johnny, swim!”

It was such a cute story that the two decided it should be the name of their band - so Johnny can still live on.
