How did a bands' name originate?

I heard that the name Rush originated from their producer's anxiety from the record label to name that band.

His estate sued, and the name was abbreviated to just Fritz. I saw them live only once, at the 1968 Santa Clara Folk Rock Festival. They were the only local band (iirc) on the bill, opening for The Electric Flag (Fantastic! Mike Bloomfield, Buddy Miles, and four saxes!) and the doors (not so hot. Kinda "lightweight". Girls’ music ;-) .

Published in 1954, it elaborates on his psychedelic experience under the influence of mescaline in May 1953. The Doors took their name from the book.
