Hello Sapphic_,

We receive an update from the Internal Support Team about your concern.

The terms in correct spelling have already been taken and it would not be possible for you to reuse it. On the brighter side, alternative spelling for these terms: Sappho and Sapphic should be available to be use as part of your gamertag. Just make sure the attached names/character combination before and after these terms should not be blocked.

That means you'll have to be extra creative in creating your gamertag.

Hope that works for you.

Regards,
