Desired gamertag banned...but why?

EmaiAory · Mar 22, 2020

Greetings,

I have a really...embarassing gamertag right now. (PiIIarOfAutism)

When I made it, I found it funny but now I'd like to change it.

I'd like to change it to "FermiParadox" but apparently that's forbidden. By trying around I could narrow it down to the word "Fermi" that's somehow forbidden. Though I cannot find any reason why that would be the case.

Can anyone enlighten me what's so profane about the word "Fermi"? I started using that name everywhere and I am clueless why I cannot use it here

yours sincerely,

a very confused space enthusiast

It is the aliens who have made contact blocking the name...

That's strange that it would not be allowed. The only other reason I can think is if it had been reported for being used in offensive ways in the past, or if it might have other meanings in other languages. In any case, if it's not allowed, there's not
much you can do but try to find another GT that you like. Best of luck.

Hi! are you sure it wasn't simply unavailable?

it said that the gamertag isn't allowed. I could name myself "Paradox", "ermi", "ferm" but nothing including the word "fermi".
