How do I change my name on my xbox 360? Not the Gamertag.

Hi! I've had my 360 for nearly twenty years, and I've changed my name legally since I originally got it. On the start up screen when it asks me to select a profile it says the name I no longer go by underneath my gamertag, is there anyway to change it? I don't want to make a new profile since I have twenty years of saves and achievements under this one, but every time I try to google how to fix this issue all I can find are results on how to change the username with the account, nothing on the actual name. I've changed my name on my microsoft account, my xbox one updated the name fine.

camera tag changes are a very low priority operation and can take up to a week to propagate. But you have to take a new account the fact that the 360 has been closed to further changes with the closing of the store which may not allow you to alter the name on your account

I've changed my name on my microsoft account, it's updated on my xbox one, my 360 hasn't changed.

Your real name would be tied to your Microsoft account. You can update it at http://account.microsoft.com

Hello,

I'm sorry, regardless of if your gamertag has your name in it, Microsoft will not give free gamertag changes. Free gamertag changes are only given to people who make new accounts on Xbox.com or their Xbox 360 console within the first 30 days of the account
creation.

After that time, everyone (even free accounts that didn't elect to change their gamertag within 30 days) are required to pay to change their gamertag.

You can find out how to change a gamertag by following the directions here.

By looking at your GT, I wouldn't have know your name was in it unless you pointed that out
