Why are roman numerals II not allowed in gamertag?

starfishcuban · Jun 25, 2020

It seems that i cant put two ii’s or two ll’s to use as roman numeral 2 before or after any sort of gamertag name. For example: Johnny II or II Johnny. Even random jibberish words like “Ouiiop II” were rejected. Why?!

Hello! The issue you're facing could be tied to someone in the past using that gamertag being banned, which makes it impossible to use or they're already being currently used by someone else (From just searching up "II Johnny," a lot of similar looking
gamertags popped up).

My guess would be then that having II is censored or something along those lines (Which frankly doesn't make sense, but they are somewhat strict with the gamertag system. I know from experience since using the name Suki in your gamertag isn't allowed).

I Johnny works but unsure why II Johnny doesnt work, and Johnny II is taken

Johnny was just a random word i tried it with to see if the problem was indeed with the II roman numerals. Every random word I tried with “II” after it was rejected by the system as not allowed. Even completely made up jibberish words like “Ouiiop”.
