Okay if you start reading this, you are tagged and must read the rest!

You have to answer this question and pass it by typing it in your journal, that way a lot of people will answer the same question. Here it is!

How did you come up with your user name?


Simple, really. Back in, I think, High School, my friend and I used to draw things for people. Nothing big, just people would request drawings of characters, and we'd do them. No money, nothing like that. We did it for fun. Anyway, our aliases were "Chaos" [Me] and "Fyre" [My friend].

As we became a little more well known around the school, we wanted it to sound a little more professional, so, we combined our names sort of, into "Chaos | Fyre Inc."

Eventually we ended up going our separate ways [Nothing bad, I just ended up having to move down to Florida. We still talk and such.]

I started learning Photoshop recently [About 2 and a half years ago, actually], and once I started to become adept at it, I considered getting into the freelance stuff, as well as starting up my own website.

I needed a name, so, I took the old name, and spruced it up a little, making it one word "Chaosfyre", and replacing "Inc." with "Graphix" [Style choice.]

It's been that ever since. However This actually isn't the screen name I use most often.

The name I'm a bit more known for, is "SniperFox", which simply comes from my two most favorite Metal Gear Solid characters [Gray Fox, Sniper Wolf].

It was created back when MGS3 released it's "Subsistence" edition, which featured an online mode. The name was originally "SNIPER_FOX", but it was annoying to type in, and when I got into signature design, it didn't look so good, so, I cleaned it up and remade it into "SniperFox".

Doubt I'll be getting rid of it anytime soon :).

Quite an interesting back story to your name.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be as such, I figured it would have been that you needed a name for your design business and you chose Chaosfyre Graphix as both words are spelt rather uniquely, so it would be more catchy and memorable.
Damn my business mind.
But then again, two user names are better than one. And what's even more interesting is that you explained both. :)
