My regular duo is called "Meat & Greet," with the intentional spelling, based on the fact that the other half of my duo was called "Meat" in high school as a part of the offensive line. That makes me Greet by default, but everyone without knowing any better has always said to me, "great name - you're definitely greet." Our tagline is "Jackson's Insensitive Guitar Duo." We're not the Indigo Guys.
I have some friends who called themselves Drunk & Disorderly, and wrote kind of a theme song they opened all their sets with introducing themselves. "I'm Drunk, and he's disorderly, and we're gonna sing some songs for you," kind of thing.

You have lots of good suggestions to choose from. I especially like "Cover Two" and "The Coveralls" (and if you go with this one, wearing coveralls as your stage attire would be a great gimmick).
Is there something in your two names (whether given names or surnames) that can be exploited for purposes of a band name?
For example, back some years ago two friends of mine formed a duo. They never came up with a specific duo name, and the duo was relatively short lived (maybe that was partly the reason why?). They weren't related, but both of their last names are Brown. I suggested to them several times that they use "Los Dos Browns" (Spanish, or rather "Tex-Mex" for "The Two Browns").

True story alert!
6 or 7 years ago a duo from the Village in NYC toured small bars around the UK.
"Pete & J".
They said they were often named as a Simon & Garfunkel tribute because of their appearance but they weren't one. I was going to NYC shortly after to visit friends so I got one of them to use my phone to call, from a small bar in northern England, my friends in New York as a joke. My friends are from the Village too so they had a good old chat.
Two months later & I'm in NYC with my son & the two friends & I HAD to see Manny's.
So as we walk in the door there's a guy with his back to me trying to negotiate a huge keyboard case around some guitars and a doorway so we all stood back to let him pass. It was the same guy - "J" - who I'd had call my friends weeks earlier.
"Small world" we said & they put us on their guest list for that night.

Well... I thought about our initials. My buddys initials are HJ and mine are AC, so I figured HJAC could be pronounced as "Hey Jack", or something... similar to GP =Jeep. Far fetched perhaps. And cheesy. Not that there's anything wrong with cheese.

Or "Hijack!"
Yeah, cheesy can work. I can hear the intro/opening stage banter now...
"Hello! This is HJ and I'm AC, and together we're HJAC. Just call us 'Hijack' for short! We're a cover band, so we're gonna hijack some music from the '60s onward and make it our own!"
