Stole this idea from HF's. Found that thread kind of entertaining and also answered lots of questions.

Have been reading these forums for a couple of years and seen a lot of different user names. Some are easy to understand where they come from (ex. ILIKEPHANEUF) and some others kind of make you curious..

Mine is not inspired by the videogame, as many would think.
It's actually a (free) translation of the Swedish last name Strålman.

RAY translates into STRÅLE in Swedish
MAN is the same word in Swedish, just pronounced differently

Stråle also translates into the English word BEAM, but BEAMMAN didn't sound too good..so..

Yours?

Edit: no, I'm NOT Anton..
