There's another article about Indiana hiker Vinona Christensen in the 11 May 2007 Noblesville Daily Times. Written by William Fouts, it is titled "Introducing Trail Companions: Vinona Christensen introduces her friends from Appalachian Trail."
Saying that "A right [sic!] of passage for Appalachian Trail hikers is receiving a trail name," the article consists mostly of impressions about some of Christensen's fellow hikers: “Chuck Norris” and “Tigger,” “Kokopelli” of Atlanta, Ga., “August” a screenwriter on his 2nd thru-hike, “Bubba” who may end up going by “Wikipedia;” and two who have had to get off the Trail, “White Bear,” and his wife “Cujo”.
Christensen's trail name is “Fire Hazard” due to her camp stove mishap resulting in a burned hole in another hiker’s pack.
And . . . it's a "rite" not a "right."
