[Marvel] Can someone tell me why Osborne's alter ego became Green Goblin? Like, why Goblin?

I just think its really weird to develop a goblin suit and then make pumpkin bombs. I'm trying to understand out of everything he could've done, why did he pick goblin? Also, there is Hob Goblin, again, why the goblin? Why does a goblin pop up? 

Is there a symbolic reason or anything of significance that Norman had to be a goblin of all things?

Norman had an experiment blow up in his face and he went nuts. He drew the idea of the Green Goblin from a nightmare he had as a child.

The Hobgoblin was the design of a fashion designer turned madman who took the Green Goblin formula and tweaked it in hopes it wouldn't make him insane. Several others have since used the Hobgoblin identity as well, most of whom have also either been brainwashed or otherwise have been mentally unstable.
