Specific Gamertag

Hi I was wondering if the gamertag Bloo, (Capital B, lower case L and 2 lower case O’s) was taken because when you try to change your name to it it says it is unavailable but when you search for the player with that name no one appears at all. Is it available
for use?

To clarify what Njal the Blue is saying in his post

When you do a search the you have to put it in exactly as the person entered it into the system the problem is the system on the back end does not see capitalization or spaces in a gamer tag so for example in the gamer tag you are looking for

Bloo

BLOO

b l o o

BlOo

Etc.

Are all considered the same gamertag but when you go to search for it in the system you have to put it in exactly the way the person has entered it in for it to show up but if you try and change your gamertag to one of them it will show as unavailable.

I am not good with math but with 4 letters that could be capitalized, and spaces between each one I would say that there could be 1 in 1,000,000 chance that you may guess what exactly the person put in for their gamer tag.

Not all gamertags are available, also it may well be written slightly different as in BLOO, bLoo, bloo, BlOo etc. If you can't use it, you will just have to try and come up with another original gamertag.

Not all gamertags is linked to a xbox account. They are linked to any account that uses any of Microsoft products.

If it says it is unavailable, then the gamertag is not available for use. It still may be used by someone else who uses other services by Microsoft.

When you remove a letter from the Gamertag, you are changing the name, resulting in a different string.

I am sorry, but if the name is not available, you won't be able to use it. This can be due to various reasons.
