The Name comes from an E-mail address i set up when I first went on Line a few years ago now (the exact derivation and the origin of the _s would bore people). I dont know of a band with the same name though.
Warned - You Were.....chimera_sFebruary 23 2004, 18:20:54 UTC
When looking for an E-mail address (as an alternative to my name with a number) I looked for a suitable descripive name or something that would have an obvious link but anything I could think of had been taken. I then thought that since no one thing (name) truly reflected me only an aspect, the idea of Chimera as a name came to me as the Chimera is a mythological creature that is made up of a number of different creatures - it reflects that I (as an individual) am made up of different aspects and am not just one thing. When I tried to get it as my E-mail addresss I found it had been taken, however I decided that I wanted the name so I would be forced into accepting a Pre or postfix. I used to be a big Die Laughing and they had a track - In Chimera's Shadow hence Chimera's S or Chimera_S. And that will teach you to ask questions when you have been warned how boring the answer is.

On the contrary, you may not believe it but it was fairly interesting. If nothing else, simply because you had a reason behind your chosen name. Most people don't seem to have any real reason. I'm sort of border line for that category, i do have a vague reason for my user name but can't be bothered to go into it at the moment. I must admit that i didn't know that the Chimera is a mythological creature that is made up of a number of different creatures. You learn something new everyday. ;)
