Thanks for all the band name suggestions. I do like The Baby Sitters Club, although it probably is already copyrighted. The KaKaKas could work too.
The most important thing about a band is the album cover (the actual band and the music itself is secondary). The true test of being a pop icon is being able to pass off the "Look-Away cover." If you can pull it off, you're truly set in the music industry. The Look Away cover basically says, "I'm too busy to look into the camera." It also says, "I'm sensitive, but I want you to love me regardless of my flaws." For example:
Nick Lachey is so cool, he can pull it off:

After his fame with Matchbox 20 and a #1 song with Carlos Santana, Rob Thomas was able to pull it off on his debut album:

The amazing thing about teen heart-throb Ryan Cabrera is that he was able to pull it off not once, but twice:


Sadly, I was going to go watch Ryan Cabrera and Josh Kelley back in S.F. about three years ago at Slim's I think, but I decided last second not to because I had never heard of Ryan Cabrera before. I thought he was some Mexican singer. And now he's so big he's got two Look Away covers.
Lastly, nobody does the Look Away better than The Backstreet Boys:

When 0 of the 5 members look at the camera, you know they've got it down.
I will go take some pictures now for my Look Away album cover, mainly because I'm sensitive.
And just for Elisa:
