hi..i was just wondering if its possible to change your gamername. i was unaware that you were alowd to come up with something original but instead i used my full name which is notingly nothing to write home about. so if anyone knows how to do this can you please help me out? i am in the middle of my free 2 months trial right now but i plan on extending it after it expires here next month. when it renews will i be stuck with the same names. help a fellow fella out. thanks

If you want a new name that badly, the easiest thing to do would be to wait until your trial expires, then purchase a new subscription card (as Recon said).

They say several times during signup that the name is essentially unchangable.
There was a single occasion where Microsoft needed to change a bunch of GamerTags, and gave those people free renewals as compensation.

Yes, you could, but that would be somewhat wasteful, no?

And the worst part about renewing has nothing do with changing your name, it is losing all your stats. That would really really suck to be at the bottom of the totem pole again.
