It looks like the name "Danny". There are a number of words which are just
named after people in Marc Okrand's personal life, and this may be one of
them. Since Marc Okrand worked in captioning and movies, he probably knew
many people who were always wearing headphones, and perhaps one of them was
named "Danny". (IMDB does indeed show that he worked with a number of
people named "Danny" or "Daniel" on the Star Trek movies.) Or perhaps an
actor named Danny or playing a character named Danny wore headphones in a
movie scene that's particularly memorable for Okrand. (I can't think of
one, but I'm not a movie buff like he is.) I think those scenarios are more
likely than an obscure headphone manufacturer, but unless Okrand tells us,
we can only guess.
