From the cute and familiar to the surreal and downright bizarre, there is seemingly no limit to choosing your username. Popular Xbox usernames include both letters and numbers that describe something about themselves and their gaming persona.
The most fun thing about choosing a username for Xbox is that you can set reality aside and design a name and persona all your own. While you can certainly use your real name or some version of your real name (for example, if a man named Jared Shaw has the username JS the Vampire), the fun is in the fantasy.
A good gamertag will be short and sweet, easy to spell, and 12 characters or under (15 characters or under in the Xbox 360 console). Avoid using a jumble of numbers, as it will be difficult to remember and accurately be communicated through the chat in online games.
