It still says you're in a party. Are you sure you left it? =/

It depends on what you're comfortable with. Both of my user accounts use the same display name and mention in their user profiles that they are alts of each other so that everyone knows they're both me. There's a guild on the public guilds page called "Masters of Destiny" and I've posted in the chat with both accounts so that you can see what I mean (I'd invite you to it once you're in the party, as it's a party-linking group for very focused parties such as this one, but you can find it and pre-join it if you want to see what we're about ahead of time).

My problem was that I originally joined HabitRPG in early 2013 specifically to help me practice my craft, but the app ended up being so useful for me (I'm not the most organized person in general) that I filled up my tasks with other stuff as well, so much that for a while I did well on the "game" without really producing much music, and that defeated the purpose somewhat.

Also, it was an old account that had many of the pets, goodies, and limited stuff, but I was so hooked that I wanted it all. I think I was pushing my "casual questing party" way too far with my completionism so I decided the best way to remedy both problems at once was to roll up a new character, move the hard-mode "spend 30 minutes a day producing music", "spend 30 minutes composing (add new material)" tasks to it, make it a healer to keep the overly-hard dailies list under control, and chill out about the pet questing. Easy-but-necessary-for-my-health things such as dailies like "take my b12 supplements" stayed on the original account with all of the achievements and history and the rapidly filling stable, so I'm not losing anything. However, though I do much less damage to the bosses as the creativity-tasks-only character, every bit of it is tied to real progress on my creative projects, Perfect Days feel like a real accomplishment, and I feel much more connected to the party's purpose.

Anyway, that was my situation and it's probably pretty specific to me, but I'm happy with what I did and don't feel bad about suggesting alt accounts because it helped motivate me in multiple different areas of my life. I don't think there's anything wrong with doing it as long as you follow Habit's golden rule of "Do what helps motivate you the most".
