I've been called many things in my life... most of them good, yes, but "RadioGirl" is one of the few I picked myself. It is derived from my actual name, pre-marriage. One day, in one of those flashes of amazement that happens to me frequently, seeing something that has been right in front of my face for a long time, I realized that my initials were A.M.F.M. (of course, I deserve a little lenience, because it is my confirmation name that added the middle "M," so I didn't grow up with these intials and it's not like I really could have noticed it all that much earlier than I did).
There's also a strong connection to actual radio broadcasting in my family's story, and - my mother says - to my own existence.
So, in spite of the fact that I, myself, worked in television for many years, but never in radio, the name fits well, my superhero alter ego.

This is so cool - I'd been wondering about your name... I think names are so important - on so many levels... I picked Anna for my alter ego as it's a pretty name(!) and it's a palindrome (word spelled the same front and back)- something I vividly remember discovering as a kid and then spending ages trying to find as many as possible: madam, level, tot, nun...
