    rename my gamertag?

    If the system says the name is taken, then it's in use somewhere on Microsoft's servers. You will have to choose a different name. The gamertag system is in use on other Microsoft services as well so it may not show up as a 360 or One tag. Also, the system
    doesn't see things like spaces as making a gamertag unique. So if you were to look up "gamertag" you may not find it, but it may be in use as "gamer tag".

    The only way to find out if a gamertag is in use, is by trying to change your tag to it. So you've already discovered that it is in use. There is no way to use the tag since it's already in the system.

    My WLID and gamertags are nothing but a big mess.

    Thank you all for your answers. I tried to use the rename-trick with some of my WLID-accounts who still had their original default Gamertags, and it actually worked. I renamed BinaryArtist361 to BinaryArtist123 and then I renamed TauntChaff5 to BinaryArtist361

    gamertag

    Be aware that Microsoft is currently changing the way Gamertag renaming works.

    So on different devices and apps you might still see your old Gamertag, on some devices the new Gamertag etc.

    Since you changed your Gamertag to the Crowley-tag, you used up your free Gamertag change.

    That some games and apps still show your old random gamertag is "normal" while Microsoft is in the process of transitioning games and apps to the new Gamertag system.

    If you want to rename it to "Badgermchee", you'll have to pay the standard renaming fee, since you already used your free Gamertag change for your Crowley tag.
