Goo Goo DollsThe Goo Goo Dolls, an alternative rock band, was originally formed in the mid-80's in Buffalo, New York by Johnny Rzeznik and Robby Takac. They originally named the band The Sex Maggots. However, a local promoter was unable to promote their band because publications wouldn't publish the band's name. Forced to change their name, the band was flipping through a True Detective magazine, and found an ad for a toy - a Goo Goo Doll. They chose that for their name, and it stuck.

John Rzeznik has always said that he hates the band's name, and if he would have had five more minutes, he would have come up with something better.

Where did Goo Goo Dolls get there name?

When the Goo Goo Dolls formed in the mid-80's, they called themselves 'The Sex Maggots'. A club owner wasn't able to promote the band under that name, so if the band wanted to keep the gig, they had to change their name. They had to find a new name quickly, so they chose the name Goo Goo Dolls when they saw an ad for a 'Goo Goo Doll' in a True Detective magazine. John Rzeznik, the band's lead singer, has often said that he hates the band's name, and that if he had had five more minutes, he would have chosen something better.
