Even if you register *NAME* as a Trademark, that does not create a presumption that you have rights to the name in Xbox Live, as the no-commerce clause in section 1.10 of the Terms of Use presempts that as per

If you _really_ want it, then send a nice message to them and offer them the Microsoft Points required to change it. Flies, vinegar, honey.

We should only pay to use 1st party services. Paid 3rd party services shouldn't require this fee

The first-sale doctrine plays an important role in copyright and trademark law by limiting certain rights of a copyright or trademark owner. The doctrine enables the distribution chain of copyrighted products, library lending, gifting, video rentals and
secondary markets for copyrighted works (for example, enabling individuals to sell their legally purchased books or CDs to others). In trademark law, this same doctrine enables reselling of trademarked products after the trademark holder put the products on
the market. The doctrine is also referred to as the "right of first sale," "first sale rule," or "exhaustion rule."
