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.

We were round at Pete's mate Barney"s flat chucking around all sorts of silly names. The Group. No One.The Hair. Pete liked that one. I think someone made a suggestion that Barney didn't hear.He said,'The Who?' Someone else said, 'That's good. The Who.' And that was that."Roger Daltrey's autobiography, "Thanks A Lot Mr. Kibblewhite." p.65
