Names / One of the reasons i can't have children

In highschool i got caught by a ticket inspector on the train for having a student ticket, but not a student card. I had no id on me so all i had to do to avoid a fine was to give a false name. i didn't and got fined. i find thinking of names difficult. the only names i can think of immediatly are of well known people. like right now if i had to give a fake name i'd say richard dawkins. the problem with that is i don't think i look like a richard or a dawkins. another problem i have with false names is that i want to come up with smart false names and can't do that immediately. something where later that day while reflecting, the ticket inspector will think 'hey that guy said his name was Trip Multi, i must have been dealing with some type of criminal genius'

i have a friend who has been trying to think of a name for his band. Hes been thinking for two years. band names are difficult and the evidence of this is the amount of bad band names around. one of the worst would have to be '...and you will know us by the trail of dead'. what's with the '...'. am i supposed to pause for the '...' should i go to the record store and say 'hi do you have the latest cd by' *pause* ' and you will know us by the trail of dead?'. i seriously feel embarassed even thinking about saying their name. i'd equate it with the time i went to a restaurant with my parents and to get a discount customers had to say 'im a seven summer super saver' to the waiter. we got the discount, but the phrase was whispered very quietly.

I find bands with 'the' at the start annoying. are they listed under 't' or the first letter of the second word? my precious mp3 collection created two folders for The Beastie Boys. one as 'Beastie Boys' and one as 'The Beastie Boys'. now when i want to hear 'whatcha want' i have to look in two places. very inconvienient. also i can say 'i really like that song by The Shins', but do i also say 'i really like that The Shins song'? Or are each of the band members a Shin? 90s english bands had the right idea. simple one word names. Ride. Blur. Oasis. None of this 'The Ride', 'The Blur', 'The Oasis'.
