Pink Floyd?

Hey I was talking to a bunch of my friends about Pink Floyd and we wanted to know the meaning behind the name. Does anyone know why they named themselves "Pink Floyd"?

Barrett came up with the alternative name The Pink Floyd Sound, after two blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.[5][6] For a time after this they oscillated between 'Tea Set' and 'The Pink Floyd Sound', with the latter name eventually winning out. The Sound was dropped fairly quickly, but the definite article was still used occasionally for several years afterward; David Gilmour is known to have referred to the group as "The Pink Floyd" as late as 1984,[7] though they never released any recordings under that name.

Google is your friend.

Pink Floyd evolved from an earlier rock band, formed in 1965, which was at various times called Sigma 6, The Meggadeaths, The Architectural Abdabs, The Screaming Abdabs, and simply The Abdabs. When the band split up, some members — guitarists Rado "Bob" Klose and Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason, and wind instrument player Rick Wright — formed a new band called 'Tea Set'. After a brief stint with a lead vocalist named Chris Dennis,[3] guitarist and vocalist Syd Barrett joined the band, with Waters moving to bass.[4]

When 'Tea Set' found themselves on the same bill as another band with the same name, Barrett came up with the alternative name The Pink Floyd Sound, after two blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.[5][6] For a time after this they oscillated between 'Tea Set' and 'The Pink Floyd Sound', with the latter name eventually winning out. The Sound was dropped fairly quickly, but the definite article was still used occasionally for several years afterward; David Gilmour is known to have referred to the group as "The Pink Floyd" as late as 1984,[7] though they never released any recordings under that name.
