my name isnt allowed?

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.

I have Multiple friends and colleagues who live and work in the UK, And not ONE not one person has ever mentioned that to me. so it seems like that's rather lame excuse. I would like a rep from Microsoft to explain it.

There is NO rule or statement that says Surnames cant be used. I just looked up several Well known celebrities who have Their FULL names as Gamertags. This doesn't make any sense.

It is plainly obvious why you can't and should not have your name as your tag, to protect you. most platforms won't allow you to use your name as people will somehow find you. a tag is a nickname, an alter ego that you can use online without someone knowing who you actually are, online gaming is meant to be anonymous (kind off) unless with friends who obviously know you.

and also the fact that dugger has other meanings in slang around the world that are in poor taste and demeaning, and as live is a global platform and rated 3 upwards has to be kept clean too.

it is also a meaning in scotland for a part of the body that is no entry.

technically it is offensive as some countries use that word for parts of the anatomy, don't forget the platform is global and has to be clean.

besides it has his surname which cannot match the account name too.
