    No, Changing your gamertag is not required. Changing your gamertag is all up to you

    Gamertag not changing in game

    It's probably just taking a while to sync up properly.

    Usually it's instant & shows your new tag everywhere but sometimes this problem does occur.

    It should sort itself out.

    You could remove your profile from your console & re download it.

    Moving gamer tag to child’s Microsoft account.

    You would have to change the gamertag on the current account to something different to free up that gamertag.

    Then you would need to change the gamertag on the childs account to the freed up gamertag.

    Keep in mind that all this will do is change the gamertag.

    If he has used that account and gamertag for games the game progress will not go over with the gamertag.

    Any purchases for games or game add ons will not be transferred over.

    There is a charge for changing the gamertag also if you chose that gamertag at the time of the account being opened.

    The charge would be 9.99 USD

    2 Gamertag Bug/Glitch

    This is apart of the new gamertag system and not a bug. Alecminichini is the gamertag that'll appear in game for games that don't support the gamertag change. While Alecapple will appear in games that do support the gamertag change (Which is a small portion).

    Unable to change gamertag

    I'm trying to change my classic gamertag which is the one you see in games. My classic gamertag got changed and my Xbox One and Xbox App gamertag stayed the same (the Xbox One gamertag is the ones they added with the new gamertag system).

    My Xbox One gamertag is different to my in-game gamertag and I want my classic gamertag to be changed. You can only change your classic gamertag on the Xbox One console, I have tried using the other ways and you can only change your Xbox Gamertag, not your
    classic gamertag.

    The reason I want to change my classic gamertag is that the classic gamertag can be fifteen characters and the Xbox One gamertag can only be 12 characters. If I use the other ways to change my gamertag it limits me to 12 characters and sets both my gamertags
    to that.
