This was taken from Major Nelson's Q&A at xbox.com:
I picked a stupid Gamertag when I first got Xbox Live, but now I've finally come up with a cool one. So, can I change it?

Dear Befuddled,
The short answer is no. The slightly more in-depth answer is there are only two instances in which you can change your Gamertag:
1. If we force you to change it because someone has complained that your 'tag is offensive in some way.
2. If you accidentally chose a Gamertag that has an obvious misspelling or reveals personal information (such as your real name). Call 1.800.4MY.XBOX, and they can help you out.
Otherwise, you'll need to start a new Xbox Live account to get a new Gamertag. And, this time, don’t choose a stupid one.
