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.

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.
