what is the meaning of the band "Neutral Milk Hotel" 's name?

Answer 1

When asked about the meaning behind the band's name, Jeff Mangum hasn't given an answer, instead saying that it's something he wants to keep private. Jeff actually first recorded under the name "Milk" but changed it after learning of another band that was already using the name.

Answer 2

I am not into random band names at all to be honest,but Sleepytime Gorilla Museum makes more sense to me on a subconscious level:P. I'm a bit curious as to those bands now,I'll probably check them out.Cool.
