Pink Floyd were originally called Tea Set but later changed their name to Pink Floyd Sounds. This name was taken from two musicians - Floyd Council and Pink Anderson.

Pink Floyd's first name was Architectural Abdabs because Roger Waters was at the university studying architecture..I have a mini CD in which they played I'm a king bee (Moore) and Lady Lea (in blue tight) by Syd Barrett, then later on the name was changed by Syd Barrett to Pink Floyd because he really enjoyed these blues players named Floyd Council and Pink Anderson and thought the name was more creative and catchy than the old one.
Cheers
