Hollow Be My Name is the second album by the Australian post-hardcore band Eleventh He Reaches London. It was released by Good Cop Bad Cop in March, 2009.

Thematically, the album is dark and introspective.

It's about blaming anybody else other than yourself for your own misery. Themes like God, government and father, blaming them for your own problems. There's a definite story in the album. It's not all in order, it's a bit jumbled. It's not necessarily the same protagonist throughout the whole album, but the stories are definitely linked.

— Jeremy Martin[1]
