Gamertag suffix on an untaken gamertag

Trying to change my gamertag using the free change to something but it comes up with them numbers at the end, ive searched the gamertag and no one has it (without the suffix)

Keep in mind when searching for tags, the system doesn't see things like spaces as making a gamertag unique. So while you may search for "gamertag" and it doesn't show up, it may actually be in use as "gamer tag". The tag system is also in use on other
Microsoft services. So even if the tag isn't in use on an Xbox, it may be in use somewhere else.

If a gtag comes out with numbers it means that it was already claimed though not in use

Suffixes are 4 digits by default but depend on how many gamers have chosen that gamertag. For a 12-character gamertag, we are
limited to a 3-digit suffix. For an 11-character gamertag, we are limited to a 4-digit suffix. 10-character gamertag, 5-digit suffix

Hi,

You cannot change the suffix that was added to your gamertag. If you'd like to change how the classic gametag appears for locations that don't support modern gamertags, you can se the "Customize classic gamertag" option when reserving your gamertag.
NOTE: A suffix is added when that exact gamertag is already registered. If you enter a unique gamertag, no suffix will be added.

Thanks
