    As you can see, the name Eboy is marked as ''not allowed" yet the name Egirl is available.

    Same thing with names with Eboy in them such as:



    https://preview.redd.it/nr98zd2nm5s...bp&s=e8ee4b1df12fdac7a65d0e8f0e35b20dba6cf4cb

    https://preview.redd.it/77cl5nuqm5s...bp&s=82e4ab3b58044f1f4a38f0268ca4e182c22cf5e3

    Any gamertag with Eboy in it is simply not allowed. The only answer I have gotten from a microsoft employee was this:



    https://preview.redd.it/frg96io1n5s...bp&s=69f103aeaa0669bfee6bed4cccf1c9ac9aa39145

    That answer would make sense yet the names:



    1 letter off Walmart

    1 letter off Target

    or even the name Ebay itself is allowed



    https://preview.redd.it/zgadey6tn5s...bp&s=d14cb58a242aa6516b8cf35888061fa7487d564a

    Why is this the case?

    Why is the actual reasoning for the name Eboy being blocked, when the female version of it (Egirl is not?)

    Is there a way to ask for a change in the Xbox gamertag algorithm?

    "This gamertag isnt allowed"

    [mod removed]

    It's possible that that gamertag is linked to a banned account which is why it is coming up as not allowed.

    As it's a 4 letter tag i suspect it would of been taken years ago & at some point got into trouble & was banned.

    If this is the case it may never be made available.

    It is still not recognizing my Gamertag on our XBOX One system as part of the Family to allow me online activities without the main Gamertag on the account first signing in. If the main Gamertag isnt signed in, then it is trying to get me to purchase a

    My gamertag isnt allowed yet it doesnt have anything inappropriate in it

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    I apologize but according to Xbox Support:

    "If you receive a message that says a gamertag is unavailable, this means that you'll need to try another. The gamertag that you're trying to create is either inappropriate for the Xbox service or can't be used at this time."

    It may just mean that it can't be used, Ross, and kindly try a different Gamertag just to make sure.
