wikipedia: Garcia came up with 'Grateful Dead' by opening a Funk and Wagnall's dictionary to an entry for "Grateful Dead".[15][16][17] The definition for 'Grateful Dead' was 'a dead person, or his angel, showing gratitude to someone who, as an act of charity, arranged their burial'.[47] The band's first reaction was disapproval.[15][16] Garcia later explained the group's reaction: 'I didn't like it really, I just found it to be really powerful. [Bob] Weir didn't like it, [Bill] Kreutzmann didn't like it and nobody really wanted to hear about it. [...]'[15] Despite their dislike of the name, it quickly spread by word of mouth, and soon became their official title.
