What's the origin of your username?

Once upon a time, I was named DJ Spirit. During my summer/fall of 2011, I restarted playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. I played in the sandbox mode and started building. Roller Coasters, rides and shops. When suddenly I decided to build a Chairswing. Since I always like to change the name of my rides, I began the search for my Chairswing's name. So I kept the ''swing'' part of the name. I then change swing into swang. To add more style to the name of the chairswing I added ''ler'' at the end, making it swangler. So that's how my new name was born; Swangler. The DJ part of my name that already was on my name came from my love for electro-house music.
 
This name came from my YouTube username I made back in 2009 (after being suspended from YT...). I brought it over to MPL only recently like in late 2011, because I loved changing my name like crazy (why, I have no idea... I stopped that a while a go lol). It's a lot easier to just be known by one name, so I've stuck with SpiderStaryu ever since.

Spider comes from my love for spiders (TAMED/PET ONES, NOT WILD ONES XD), I love their shape, their appearance, their speed. And also because I was playing Metroid Fusion while making my account, my favorite Metroid game besides Super Metroid. See, on Metroid Fusion, I was at the part where I had to fight Yakuza (Spider Boss), and when you beat him, you get the Space Jump, which for me, I would call it Spider Jump, because you fought a spider to get it and it makes a unique noise that sounded like a spider to me.

Staryu comes from the Pokemon, Staryu. I have always loved Staryu, from the first time Pokemon came to the USA, and I got Red/Blue, something about Staryu... I just always loved him. I guess it's just because in general I have loved stars as a little kid and everything about them, and I LOVE water, so Staryu was my favorite Pokemon.

Now, here's the silly part... With all of these factors, I added them together to make SpiderStaryu. Staryu would spin a lot, he hovered as such, he was pretty fast, so this made sense to me at the time (I was 12 at the time, so don't get crazy!). It was a really stupid name to me a month later when I looked at it, I always said I was going to change it, but I guess it just has grown on me over time, and now I love it. :D
 
My username comes from another one of my favourite sites.  NEOPETS!!!(although I don't go on anymore).  I wanted mykola(which is my name)...For some reason or another it had to be changed to mykola10039.  So that is where I got the numbers from.  The nintendo part came from my love for Nintendo(but I wanted it not to be registered trademark, so I made the n lower case).  Also I had made a few email accounts, but none of them were really perfect until I decided on nintendofan10039@........(only those who ask shall know the true email address).  So I decided to stick with the numbers and my love for Nintendo(since it does make the best games, consoles, etc.[mostly[and for me(not into that violent stuff mostly)]].  I am usually nintendofan10039 on all websites since that exact username is hardly ever taken.
 
Given that the last time I posted here was in 2009 and I don't use the Kaabii bit anymore...

The 'eight bit' part I'm not 100% sure of where it came from, but it most likely had to do with me playing a fair bit of NES games at the time I started using this (mid last year, since I believe I used it first at MPF), likely FF and FF3. Also it has a sort of vintage-like ring to it.

'Servant' comes from my on-again-off-again fandom in the Fate series by Type-Moon. Servants are entities that serve a Master in the Holy Grail War. Also I guess there's a bit of fridge brilliance in that I'm a servant of the forum. Or something.

The 3s and 1s are poor 1337ified attempts on the name.

8B1T is simply a truncation, but it's hell of a lot easier to read and say. "Thirty-one-g-h-t b-one-t s-three-r-v-a-n-t" anyone? :p

Why'd I change? Idk I felt like I needed something that was a bit more grown up than Kaabii I guess, lol. Nothing against Kirby (the series is great) but I feel like I had to move on persona wise. XD

@Staryu was it me who first (randomly) called you SpiderStaryu here?
 
Okay... finally the origin on my username will be known.  You see, I am a fan of random humor.  When I got the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do-it-Yourself book thing about 3 years ago it came with a place where you could do your own story.  I decided to make my story about the most random thing I thought of at the time...you guessed it...a chicken leg.  About this time I got my own E-mail so I decided to name it after my story: ChickenLeg11.  So where this comes from is my E-mail. :D
