This is from the World Of Goo main site:

The original name of their band was Sex Maggots. A promoter had caught a performance at a local club and decided to book them. However, he disliked the name Sex Maggots and insisted they change it to something a bit more acceptable. One night before a performance and slightly under the influence, the boys flipped through the pages of a True Detective magazine and discovered an ad for a Goo Goo Doll. It caught their attention, enough to make it the new name of their band. Appealing at the time, Johnny has stated numerous times that he felt the name was a hindrance to selling records and that under a different title, they may have sold more.
