Hi me and my cousin were making profiles on here for the first time and when i was signed on to xbox live on here, he signed him up and made his name cptmorgemaker onto my xbox live name, scheiBthemwoods, But he meant to put that on his account. So is there anyway to switch that and if any mods can switch it, could you please make my display name for when i sign on to be dwoods instead of cptmorgemaker. Thanks to anyone who posts any usefull info.

You can close your account at the .net passport website and make a new afterwards, but you can't change the name on this account. I guess if you close the account the Gamertag will unlink itself and you can link it to his account, but I haven't tested that theory.

Yeah, your account is only 2 days old. Go ahead and make a new one.

That's probably the easiest solution. Also Moderators are unable to reset names/display names... basically you're stuck with what you have or see the quote on more time.

Ugh, so that means if you use the 360 to change your Gamertag, you can't update the name displayed on Bungie.net without completeling deleting the .net passport thing and starting a brand new profile? Bummer.

That should update itself within a few hours.

Not for me. I switched my 360 gamertag over, but my bungie.net / passport thingy is still Doom33. No way to change it. (I show up correctly in the stats, its just that all my posts are from Doom33).

This would be nice. I'm in the same boat.
