Actually, I acquired it in the Marine Corps as an offshoot of my last name, which translated from German means one who raises geese.
In the Corps, sometimes men I'd known for a year or more would ask me what my first name really was. And from some of the inter-service stuff I was involved in in the Corps, I was once told by an Air Force intelligence officer that the KGB would have a file on me, so the KGB probably knew my nickname, too, as well as the FBI. I can still hear that Air Force Captain tell a group of us at an orientation meeting, "Gentlemen, without your knowledge you've been under intense investigation for the last six months to a year. Right now the FBI knows more about you than you know yourself, and, trust me, the KGB knows as much as the FBI". Comforting thought.
It's also been a longtime CB handle.
And every time I see the scene in "Top Gun" where Cruises back seat, "Goose" gets killed I get a twinge 'cause it hits close to home.
Anyhoo, the nickname, "Goose" goes far deeper than a frivolous prank.
