Harry came up with the name :)
Zayn Malik from one direction wanted to call the band "Zayn and the boys" but harry came up with the name "one direction" and the name stuck. One Direction is the only name they have had !
It was Harry, however if they hadn't of came up with a name Niall wanted it to be 'Niall and the Potatoes'
No. When the boys were placed together as a band in 2010, Harry came up with the idea that they call themselves "One Direction." All the rest of the band agreed, and they became One Direction. They won't be changing their name anytime soon.
Harry Styles came up with the name "One Direction" by texting the rest of the boys,"How about One Direction?" and the rest of the boys liked the name.
Harry Styles
He was the one who came up with the name, One Direction.
The band, One Direction, got its name from Harry Styles, who thought that their dreams were all going in the same direction; the boys really liked the name.
Harry came up with "One Direction", Niall came up with "Niall And The Potatos." And from then on they were "One Direction"

he came up with usp
Members of the band originally auditioned as solo artists on X-factor, but failed to get through to the 'boys' section at the judges houses. They were subsequently put together to form a 5-piece band by Simon Cowell & Nicole Sherzinger. Harry Styles came up with the group's name One Direction.
Harry styles came up with the name because the band wanted to go in "one direction"... to the top! they also thought it sounded cool when Niall said it in his announcer voice.
