1. A Gamertag used online must be unique and can be up to 15 characters in length, including numbers, letters, and spaces.
2. Try to make it original.

Your friends could take you off their friends list so send them a message saying:"My gamertag is going to be: e.g. cookie123" if not your friends might take you off your friend list.
You can end up with your Gamertag being banned if using offensive, racist, sexist remarks - Try to keep it clean.
