Apparently Microsoft finds my last name offensive...
Greetings, Guardians!
As I logged in to play Destiny yesterday, I noticed my gamertag on the Xbone, FuriousMidgett, was changed to FluffyJoey and a random series of numbers. I reached out to Xbox support, who informed me that my gamertag was deemed offensive upon review, and that I could pay to change it to something else.
Now, aside from the fact that I see EXTREMELY offensive gamertags all over the place on Live, I find it hard to understand why they didn't just look at my real name and let it go! Midgett is on my Live ID, my Windows registration, and the credit card I renew my Gold account with! This seems like laziness on their part.
Their Twitter support just linked me to their policy page about gamertags and real names, which basically says I'm SOL. If I didn't have to pay them to change it to something else it wouldn't be a big deal.
*End Rant*
Any ideas on clever gamertags? Apparently I'm too offensive to the community by my very nature to come up with one myself. Haha!
*Edit* Hey we're trending! I really appreciate all the suggestions and feedback. It's nice to see the fun corner of the forum came out to play!
BTW A Bored Ninja is my new GT. I'm always looking for weekend help with PoE and ToO if anyone is interested!
*2nd Edit* Wow, over 400 replies! I'm amazed this caught on like it did. This has been quite entertaining. As far as all the PS4 suggestions go, I'd consider it if not for having to repurchase every game, movie, and accessory I have currently for Xbox. Plus, I just can't get used to that controller. It's a great platform though.

My buddy's nickname was shocker, but he didn't want his gamer tag to be shocker94746372818273 so made it 2p1s for 2 in the pink 1 in the stink. Lasted for years and recently got busted.

6 RepliesEdited by qnCee: 6/11/2015 3:18:27 PMPlease contact them back and tell them it's your last name so it can be escalated. Forced gamertag change are only for those who have offensive or inappropriate gamertag (this can't be undone) and for those who have their real names in it (this can be forwarded to higher ups and you should be able to change it again without charge). Edit: Oh so you already changed it to a new one. Nevermind this now haha.

1 ReplyHappens when you upset someone and they get there friends list to report you for having an offensive GT. The ban happens automatically.

4 RepliesEdited by WRAITH 13th: 6/11/2015 2:22:28 PMA friend had "FPS tag and teabag" In his motto and got a 3 day ban from live for it. I do not teabag but don't see how having that in your motto/bio is worth of a 3 day ban. When has teabag become foul language? Guess I'm out of touch with how sensitive some of people in gaming have become.

1 ReplyI suffered greatly with Bored Ninja syndrome. It's no laughing matter. I find your new name incredibly insensitive and offensive. ;D

Damn this post is boring[spoiler]bored ninja[/spoiler]

I think I'm in the clear on never having my name banned. Unless people are offended by the word pwn or a panda, then I'll be fine. But people can hardly pronounce it over xbl, let alone find out what it means.

4 RepliesThat's nothing. I have to use a fake name for Facebook, why? Because when I set it up as my real name I get an error message stating "Facebook does not approve of your name" I have had to use half of my surname instead of my full name to actually make an account :D is a good conversation starter on facebook chat though when people ask why I haven't got my full name :)
