D
A
B
G
D
G
I call it Gadd9 but with the D on top I'm not 100% sure. A G or 5th note in second octave is the 12th - which isn't used in standard chord nomenclature. Does one think of it as just a doubled fifth even though it's in the second octave?

Gadd9
The upper voice is simply a doubling of the 5th in a different octave.

Is it the absence of an "F" that prevents this from being a G9?

| Add an F# and it's a major 9. Without the 7, it's ambiguous. |

It can't be Gsus2, because there is a 3rd in the chord. The A would have to be considered a 9th.
Let's it call it Linda and be done with it.
