I'm a Fish!
this is actually my computer, but someone else tied the knots and I’m not sure what type they are. I plan on replacing the cord and using the same knot, as it’s worked out really well for me.

I like using a single grapevine, a relic from my climbing days.
 
That's just an overhand knot with a half-hitch.

I would use a figure-8 knot, as it still holds but is easier to untie.
Thanks! It’s probably silly, but I like how clean this one looks. I’ve been trying to reverse-engineer it for the last hour and getting frustrated by not figuring it out… your comment gives me some direction.

That's what I use for the bungee necklace loop, with the mouthpiece inside the knot. Double Fisherman's/Grapevine bend is overkill there.

Which more correctly is called a Savoy knot:
