Ironic name choice?

I quit a couple of weeks ago.

Only from a certain point of view.

Long-time cyberpunk roleplayer. The chrome is an aspect of that genre. Chrome is everywhere. It's all shiny.
Was for a time, considered 'the old dog' amongst my crowd (Can't teach me new tricks, because I already know them as old ones).
Used to use "ChromeGod" during my gaming - mistyped it one time and it stuck.

Besides, I have silver-white hair, and I'm still a long-in-the-tooth old dog.
When people (other gamers online, mainly) meet me, it helps them put a face to the name (white hair kinda stands out).
