‘Sequel’ came about from a quarrel in the 80s, SQL was originally named Sequel, but due to a trademark dispute with another company it got changed to SQL shortly after release.

I have no idea where Gooey started, but it’s the same thing, to get Gooey from GUI you have to violate pronunciation rules. Plus, it’s just a gross thing to associate with computer things, who wants anything computer related thing to be “Gooey”
