This depends on what you mean by 'original' - there were many names for the band before Syd arrived, including (and not exclusive to):

[b]Sigma 6
(the first name which was used more than once or twice)
The Meggadeaths
The Screaming Abdabs
The Abdabs
Tea Set
The Pink Floyd Sound
and The Pink Floyd

all came before the simple and now used "Pink Floyd"

Take your pick.[/b]
Yeah....Sigma 6 was what I was looking for.

Ok....where did the name Pink Floyd come from....and whose idea was it?

Syd's idea and the name was taken from two blues artists that he liked. I remember its was from Pink Anderson cause my second name is also Anderson and the other was Floyd Council.

One for you: Which film had a character who was nic-named "Pink" because he liked PF and his second name was Floyd??

[Edit: and for any of those who think it might be ... it was not The Wall]
