In The Flesh
Pink Floyd IS their real name! They've never had another name in their entire career.If you are referring to the character in their 1979 album The Wall, he was known simply as Pink- you never got to find out what his real name was.
The main character in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is named "Pink". He, however, is not a real person. If you meant the personnel who played on the album, the main people were: Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason. If you meant the actor that portrayed Pink in the movie version, that was Bob Geldof.
A founder member of the group Sid Barrett came made up the name 'The Pink Floyd Sound' after two blues musicians called Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, this was later shortened to 'The Pink Floyd' then to 'Pink Floyd'
In the name Pink Floyd, the name Pink Is in the name Pink Floyd. So there you go.OR... The correct answer; From WikipediaThere is no "Pink" per se, the name Pink Floyd was created by Syd Barrett, after two Piedmont blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.During the album Wish You Were Here there is no 'Pink' it is just a statement which underlines the lack of understanding/knowledge held by record company staff in relation to the musicians. However 'Pink' returns in the Wall as the central character (played by Bob Geldolf), in this case (in my opinion) pink is a mix of Syd's madness and instabilities combined with the pain, hate, and loathing so well documented by Roger Waters in most of his discriptions of growing up, life, people, and power...
