Xbox won't let put my name

Chances are that that gamertag is taken by someone else.

Gamertags are used on other Microsoft services ,not just xbox live,so it could be in use somewhere in the system.

It could also be linked to a banned account which is another reason why you can't use it.

With the new gamertag system you might be able to have that tag with a # & some numbers after it.

As from August 2019 if a gamertag does not sign into any of Microsofts services for 2 years it is then freed up unless it's linked to a banned account.

If the actual tag you are trying to use is "Nivedi of Nivedi Dodgess" then that tag is too long.You are limited to 12 characters on the xbox one.

i called microsoft and they said that i was allowed to put the name on forums, the kid has my ip address. the problem is i can't even file a complaint on my xbox it won't let me use the option at all

it doesn't let me call them.When i try to put my name in ,the box is gry and it doesn't let me put my name in

I can change it, it just won't let me put DFG or DFGC in front of my name. I want it to be either DFG SamWise or DFGCSamWise but it keeps stating it's not allowed as in the DFG or DFGC isn't allowed
