Xbox Gamertag Ideas

So, we have the list of cool Xbox names below but it’s always useful to do some thinking and come up with ideas for your own original gamertag.

We’ll work to help you come up with a unique name and these tips should help.

• What Type Of Player Are You? 

The first thing we recommend is thinking about what type of player you are and similarly what type of person you are.

Are you the class clown, are you athletic, are you on Xbox as a serious gamer or a weekend frat boy who likes to release stress by blowing up some zombies?

Once you decide what type of player you are, it’ll be easier to narrow in on your gamertag.

• Take Pieces Of Your Real Life.

If your name is Ashley, consider using that in your gamertag somewhere or a nickname or abbreviation related to it.

Live in Dallas, Texas, consider using that in your name as well.

However, keep in mind that you don’t want to give too much information especially if you’re female. There are a lot of creeps out there.

• Literal Or Creative?

Some people choose to have a very literal gamertag.

For example, “WitcherKiller” is as literal as you can get. You know instantly that person likes to play Witcher.

On the other hand, consider a very different name like “PoopsickleDreams” that is clever and creative but doesn’t tell you much about the person and isn’t very literal.

The best you can get from that is that probably this person likes to joke around.

Think of which type of name you want, literal and creative and then continue to narrow down.

• You Be You.

 The best advice we can give is to come up with a name that uniquely is you.

The questions above will help prompt you to narrow down the options but ultimately you’ll know when you land on the right name.

It will feel good and right and make you proud to display it to others.

Whether your goal is to make someone chuckle or fear you, it should represent you.

How To Change Your Xbox Name

Xbox has made it super easy to change your gamertag to a new one. You can, of course, do it on your Xbox itself.

However, if you don’t have your Xbox around or if you’d prefer to do it online follow the tutorial below.

I’ll show you the links to go to and the steps to change your name.

Xbox Name Limits & Restrictions

Unfortunately, while you may have the perfect Xbox name in mind, you have to make sure it fits within the rules and limits that Microsoft sets for gamertags.

Here we’ll cover the general rules that you will have to keep in mind, of course, this doesn’t take into account if that name you really wanted is actually taken.

But, we have some solutions for that as well and ideas on how to get that perfect name even if it’s taken.

In October of last year, Xbox changed its rules surrounding Xbox names and the languages they support.

Xbox made the change because “All players should be able to express themselves proudly in their native language.”

They added that “We’re making this change to empower players around the world with more choice in how they represent themselves.”

Xbox Name Limits:

• All Xbox gamertags must be 12 characters or less
• If the gamertag is already in use, Xbox will add “#” and some numbers to the end of the username
• Xbox supports more than 200 languages worldwide
• Xbox does not allow:
  • Profane words or phrases
  • Topics or content of a sexual nature
  • Hate speech
  • Controversial religious topics
  • Notorious people or organizations
  • Sensitive current or historical events
  • Any “sound-alike” or “lookalike” words, phrases, or puns that reference these topics

Xbox will allow anyone to change their gamertag, even if they have changed it in the past.

The main focus of this change is to allow anyone to choose the name that they want and best represent themselves (with some numbers added to the suffix).

How To Check Xbox Name Availability

Checking to see if an Xbox name is taken is super easy and can be done both online and on your Xbox console.

A quick Google search will pop up some 3rd party sites that will tell you they check the name availability. While there’s nothing wrong with them, they may not be 100% perfect.

Why risk it when it’s easy enough to just check on Xbox directly.

To check the Xbox name availability directly on Xbox follow these steps:

• First, head over to: https://social.xbox.com/changegamertag
• Make sure you login to your Xbox account using your username and profile
• You’ll see a screen similar to the screenshot above with your current gamertag and a box to fill in your new gamertag.
• Enter in your desired new gamertag and click “Check availability”
• If the exact username is taken, you will see a screen similar to the one below where they take your username and tack on “#” and 4 numbers to the end of it. If the username is truly available and free Xbox won’t add numbers to the end.
