    different user name?

    No worries. It's a random Gamertag. Every new account is granted one, and you may change it once for free. This is to give people a chance to jump right into the game and discover their inspiration for what they want to call themselves. A chance to see
    what kind of names everyone is using. A lot of people start their accounts by putting their personal name into the Gamertag, and Xbox doesn't want that. So to help them out, they instituted the random Gamertag system, with one free change. After the free
    change, it costs $9.99 to change it. So make sure, when you create your custom tag, that you've got proper capitalization and spacing and it's looking just how you want it to look.

    different user name?

    I signed up on xbox.com so I could pay xbox the 360 I just bought. After I signed up (not signed in) it gave me the user name "clerklytexas97". I want to know why it called me that, if it was a random thing or if I'm on someone else account.

    Just so you know, I'm far from clerkly, I've never Been Texas, and 97 was a mediocre year for me.

    different Name

    Go to http://account.live.com and you can change the name there. Not sure why it wouldn't have the correct name already though.

    Old name, different profile?

    If I understand you then you would have to pay to change your old gamertag to something else to free it up & then pay to change your other tag to your old one.

    Deleting the profile from your console doesn't free the tag up as it's stored on Microsofts servers.
