Not quite sure what you're looking for. The entire operation at Normandy was dubbed "Operation Overlord." The individual beach attacks were concentrated at Juno, Gold, and Sword, Omaha, Pointe du Hoc, and Utah.

Operation Overlord.
D-Day is only partially right, because all amphibious assaults occured on a D-Day, so calling the Normandy landings D-Day doesn't make much sense even though they are referred to as such.

The whole thing was called Operation Overlord.
I know the names of two of the beaches: Utah (farthest to the west) and Omaha (right next to that)
