According to the movie "The Buddy Holly Story", The Crickets came up with the name one night while trying to record a song on Buddy's tape recorder. ..While they were singing and recording in Buddy's garage, they kept hearing a "chirrup" sound from a cricket; and wondered where the noise was coming from. ..They found out that the sound was indeed coming from a cricket that somehow got into the feathered insulation along the back wall. Having discovered the noise, the two singers , including Buddy Holly, decided that the name would go well with the group.
