Deduce the structure and give the name.

I am pretty sure that I have figured out the problem, just one peice is stumping me.  Do you think that you can help me figure out the structure and name.  What I have may possibly be right.

Question:
Analyze the data given in each of the problems below, deduce the structure and give the name.

A fishy-smelling liquid with elemental analysis of C=68.93%, H= 15.04% and N=16.08%.  The Infrared Spectrum has a characteristic weak double peak at 3300 cm-1 (3.0 µm), and the 1H-NMR shows resonance peaks at 0.8(s,9), 1.1 (s,2), and 2.3 (s,2)ppm.... (see attachment for rest)

Analyze the data given in each of the problems below, deduce the
structure and give the name.

A fishy-smelling liquid with elemental analysis of C=68.93%, H= 15.04%
and N=16.08%. The Infrared Spectrum has a characteristic weak double
peak at 3300 cm-1 (3.0 µm), and the 1H-NMR shows resonance peaks at
0.8(s,9), 1.1 (s,2), and 2.3 (s,2)ppm.

Okay well obviously I know that the atoms in this molecule are only
carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. If the infrared has a weak double peak
at 3300 then I know that it is probably going to be an amine and a
primary amine to be exact. Since the percentages of carbon are 68.93% I
assume that there are at least six because its molecular weight is
approximately 12.01 amu, for H there are at least 15 hydrogens and there
are at most 1 nitrogen atoms. The only thing that is stumping me is the
1H-NMR resonance peaks. My molecular looks like this

CH3(CH2)5NH2

And the name of the compound would be 1-hexamine, but I don’t think
this right because of the 1H spectrum.
