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.

5 RepliesIt's amazing how the word midget these days is deemed offensive. It was a perfectly acceptable word at one point for a dwarf. But of course, in this pathetic liberal politically correct world we live in now, which will be the downfall of society, midget has become the new "n word" for "little people". So did one day all the midgets get together and have a meeting and decide they want to be called something new? Did they march and have parades and boycott? Little people pride! How dare someone use that Xbox name!

You'll have to look into it but with 360 you used to be able to get a free name change by getting ten people in a day to report your tag. Don't know if this still applies though so look into it first. It was based on they made you change it so you just got it free

That sucks. Back in my high school days my gamer tag was swaganagdisdick (long story) and it eventually got deemed inappropriate. Although back then they would just make you change it when you'd log in the next time. And I wasn't charged to change it either. Fight that shit to the end.

well if you wanted, you could always add another s to my name, seeing as how Turtle, Turtles, Turtless, Turtlesss, Turtlessss, Turtlesssss, Turtlessssss, and Turtlesssssss were taken. I chose the next one with 8, yes, EIGHT S's. So, if you wanted you could always be the ninth

5 RepliesBasically its their right to change your tag if they find it offensive or enough people report it but in my experience when they edit your stuff without permission they should be giving you a free gt change

3 RepliesUse that money that you would pay to change your xbl name towards a ps4

Back when I was really competitive in COD my GT was VGNA DISCHARGE. Lol and surprisingly enough the name itself wasn't reported. Someone reported me thinking I was using mods (I wasn't) and once they saw I wasn't they realized oh that's not a very good thing to have lol
