I found this quote in the book 1000 UK Number One Hits by Jon Kutner & Spencer Leigh: "Benny & Bjorn were both admirers of Stevie Wonder and had been listening to his then-current album Songs In The Key Of Life. In May 1977, just a few weeks after completing their world tour, they began work on a new song, with a working title ‘A Bit Of Myself’. The bass line was reminiscent of a slowed down version of Stevie Wonder’s ‘I Wish’. This formed the nucleus and the rest of the song was then built up as a six-part harmony structure, which was a new idea Benny employed. When Stig (Anderson) heard the backing track, he suggested ‘The Name Of The Game’ as the song’s new title."
