My gamertag name is not allowed

Jack O' LANTIRN · Nov 22, 2019

Greetings, I was recently trying to change my gamertag on a newly created xbox live account to "JackOLANTIRN" but for some reason am met with the message "This name is not allowed". Was just wondering if there was actually something that I'm missing that
is preventing this name from being used, or if it is just a glitch in the system.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand have question about a gamer tag. There is a policy in place that prevents words from being used. Keep in mind these words are from many different languages. If it doesn't meet the requirements you will get that
message and will need to pick a different one. You can check out the
gamer tag FAQ for more information.

Thanks,

Brad

I'm sorry for your Problems, iServePizza.

I'm not a native English Speaker, but my it can be due that it sounds like forbidden word? Wouldn't you it sound like "Nazhir" and you be understandable as "Nazi"? Sorry, I don't want to be rude, just a speculation on my side.

Nazi is a word in arabic its a badword

I cant translate it because of xboxs guide

It's mostly like flagged because it could be offensive in another region other the yours.

then you will need to contact microsoft directly, there are only gamers here and the odd moderator.

i am born and raised in the UK, the word dugger means exactly what i said it does and sorry to say but if you have your name as soDugger then the meaning in some areas is soAnus, like i say the platform is u for universal and they have to take into account the different meaning in different countries.

we used to use that word in school decades ago and is still in use today.
