Gamer tag request

I'm wondering if I could request a gamertag I've tried adding "MF" to my new name but it said it wasn't allowed and I'm a little curious why?

Hey there, we aren't quite sure what you mean, we do not reserve Gamertags for users. If the Gamertag is available you can change your Gamertag to it. If it is not, we do not actively take Gamertags away from accounts and would be unable to do so in this
case as well. We would recommend choosing another Gamertag if this one is currently associated with an account.

Ok, thank you for the response!

There's no way to request a gamertag. We don't have information on why something is or is not allowed by the system in gamertags, but if I had to guess it could be because that is a abbreviated form of profanity.

You can change your gamertag whenever you want for 800msp(well,whatever that is in your local currency).

If your trying to get a free name change then that's not going to happen.You only get a free change if your name violates the code of conduct,which your does not,so you will have to pay like everyone else.

as long as they're using any aspect of their Microsoft account, their gamer tag is retained

There is no ability to request any kind of purges or releases of gamer tags.
