Before you do anything, decide what your goal is. Do you want this band to be famous? Are you trying to make some money? Do you want to be more popular with your peers and get girls? Each of these goals might lead you in a different direction. Once you have established your goal, WRITE IT DOWN! This goal will now drive all your decisions regarding this band. (Better yet, post it on the wall where you practice.) I remember in my first band, we had a chance to make some good money playing for weddings and adult parties, and we jumped on it. We didn't play play the school dances (which didn't pay squat) and we were looked down upon by our peers because we played "old people music." But we made good money and that was MY goal. I eventually paid for college and made the down payment on my first house because I decided to go where the money was. That may not be the right direction for you, but I'm just giving an example.
Once you have the vision/goal of your band in mind, pick a name that compliments that image. If I saw a band advertised as "Dark Masters" I would expect that I would see some young goth-looking musicians. If a band is named "The Funtones" I wouldn't be expecting a heavy or metal oriented group. You have to get a name that projects your image to the audience. You look young and I'll guess that your band will have a contemporary aspect to it, so you might want to try something that is current and "cool" with your age group. (Maybe text message abbreviations, IMO, BFF, STFU, you get the idea.) Just keep in mind that you will have to present this name wherever you want to play, and anything too edgy might prevent you from playing certain venues.
I could go on and on... but I think I've made my point. I'd be interested in hearing what name you eventually decide upon.
