Just curious. Are Numbers in the beginning of a Gamertag allowed?

Hey there ManBrine,

Thank you and have a great day.

That gamer tag should be fine unless there already is one and certain things are ignored as being unique.

are all considered to be the same by the system. There are a lot of tags that are hanging out there so to speak that are not in use. Gamer tags are only purged out every few years.

• Profane words or phrases
• Topics or content of a sexual nature
• Hate speech
• Illegal drugs or controlled substances

• Sensitive current or historical events
• Any “sound-alike” or “lookalike” words, phrases, or puns that reference these topics

Hello EpicGamer 550,

Thank you for posting on Xbox Forums. In regards to the question with if you can have a number at the front of your gamertag, you can have a number at the beginning of the gamertag. If you are receiving the message, "Gamertag not available", then the
Gamertag isn't available and you will have to try a different one. For more info on Gamertag's please view this
FAQ for Gamertag's.

If you have any other questions please feel free to reply back letting us know. Thank you again for posting on Xbox Forums.

You can use numbers in account creation

I know that you can use numbers in account creation, I was asking why a few gamertags have numbers at the beginning which normally isn't allowed, it doesn't really matter though.
