How to make your own gamertag

  1. Combine two words that fit you: an adjective and an animal (ShadowWolf), or a food and something dramatic (DeadlyTaco).
  2. Change a letter to make it unique: Phoenix becomes Phenyx, Storm becomes Stormm.
  3. Keep it short: 4 to 12 letters is easy to read on a scoreboard.
  4. Say it out loud. If it is hard to say, your friends will mangle it in chat.
  5. Do not use your full name, age or birthday. A gamertag is for fun, not for sharing personal details.

Debut your new name with friends
