Can't think of band name

This is not related to any other threads about band names. This is all about me, god damn it.

I'm currently recording an album, me playing all the instruments, and I need some sort of "band" name pretty soon. I've been thinking of a few, but I need a really strong, serious name. Keep in mind that the music was all written by me and it should either be a pseudo-name for me, or a band name that makes it sound like it's all one person doing all the work. If you happen to think of any cool multi-person band names, that would be cool too.

I'm trying to get a bassist and a drummer to play with me, but I'm also thinking of doing it all myself... because I can. Either way, I'm the creative force behind the music and the performance, so just keep that in mind.

Hmmm... let me describe some things about the music and I that may help you guys out. Right now, I'm being told my music is Indie Rock. It has a good range of genre's, but all the music fits together. There's guitar, bass, drums, and 3-part vocals on all the songs. My record producer may put some synth on, and he's probably going to remix the songs eventually. Right now, there's a heavy song, a not-as-heavy love song, a mainstream song song that ranges from soft to heavy and sounds sorta like Maroon 5 at one point (about giving somebody everything, getting nothing in return, and forgetting about them kinda), and a song that's pretty different, fast, and has a lot of impact (basically me telling the people I know not to worry anymore, about anything). About me now... I have bipolar "disorder", but I experience hypomania with no depression, to try and sum it up: my thoughts move at 50,000 MPH and I have a really cool personality because of it. I tend to absorb other peoples' personalities more than others, leading me to believe I may have some sort of Multiple Personality "Disorder". I'm basically putting all of my effort into a small chance at becoming a rock star.

If you guys need to know anything else, let me know. Now start giving me band ideas!

It's cool to joke around, as I'm sure most everyone will here. "You're band should be called 'One Giant Douche'!", but please, try and keep it serious for the most part. :)
 
Elastic Hippie,"elastic" since you are moving around and doing all of the instruments yourself, and "hippie" cuz you seem mellow in your music.
 
Shoot The Freak. Thought that one up awhile ago, but I wouldn't doubt if its taken already.

Or maybe something with "experience" in it, like "The Lavender Fudge Experience". Or you could use a really obscure book title, like The Doors did. If all else fails, just try and think of a really important(or totally unimportant) event in your life and condense it to three or four words. Works every time.

I do think "Not Quite Shane" sounds pretty good, albeit a little emo.:happysad:

I always liked the name 13-13. (to be pronounced thirteen thirteen) Then again you could tie it into the fact that there's just one person playing, but many people in your head.
