How to Choose the Right Name

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Say it out loud like a teammate calling you, if it feels clumsy it will get shortened anyway.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Keep spelling simple so friends can add you without asking how to type it.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

If you play multiple titles, avoid names that only make sense in one game.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Common Naming Mistakes

Picking something too long, then everyone uses a nickname you did not choose.

Using extra symbols and odd spellings that are annoying to type and hard to search.

Choosing a joke tag that stops being funny after a week.

Copying popular patterns so closely that your name blends into the lobby.

Conclusion

A good gamertag should make you easy to recognize and easy to find, even when the match is chaotic. If you want something that lasts, pick a name that reads clean, sounds natural on voice, and still feels like you when you switch games.
