Just to ad a little more...their name changed many times and at one point they had settled on "The Tea Set", and when they found themselves playing a concert with a band of the same name, Barrett came up with the name "The Pink Floyd Sound" (later "The Pink Floyd").

He is absolutely right. I have a cd documentary on Syd Barrett to back him up on that. Also, a biography of John Lennon that I just finished reading (which I recommend to everyone) talks about these two famous blues musicians. Also Pink Floyd went through several other names before finally ending on that name too.
