If Microsoft is involved it will ALWAYS go overboard - they can't help it, it's in their overwrought, hypercaffeinated, self important, bombastic nature...

That and eating babies

Too bad they are more worried about names than XBL d***hebags.

Re: Man uses real name for gamertag. Hilarity ensues.



Seriously, just choose a different gamertag and stop whining. They have a rule for a reason and yes some innocent people might get caught up in it but it is not harming them. Just another stupid reason to probably sue a company. Watch for it, it will probably happen. I guess I should sue/make a big deal/whine to SE cause I can't use capital letters in my name like I wanted. Honestly there are more important things to worry about.

He should change his name, then choose an XBL gamertag based on his new name.

Re: Man uses real name for gamertag. Hilarity ensues.

I'm sure that an automated filter of some sort was involved. Why does it have to be a big deal? Let the automated system do its thing, just play by the stupid automated rules. There are probably on 4 people on earth that want to use their full name as their game handle anyway, and probably only one that contains a sexually connotative phoneme.

A filter for the word "Gay," big deal.. If it happens to be in your real name, no need to make a drama out of it.

Marge: Well, I'm glad you changed your name back to Homer Simpson.
Homer: Yes, I learned you gotta be yourself. Good night, honey.
Marge: Good night.
[Homer flips off the lamp, but then flips it back on]
Homer: Oh, I almost forgot. While I was at the courthouse I had them change your name.
Marge: To what?
Homer: Chesty La Rue.
Marge: Chesty La Rue?!
Homer: Just try it for two weeks! If you're not completely satisfied, you can be Busty St. Claire.
Marge: I don't want to be Chesty La Rue, or Busty St. Claire!
Homer: Fine, Hootie McBoob it is.
Marge: Good night, Homer.
[Marge reaches over and turns off the lamp]
Homer: Sleep tight, Hootie.
Marge: Let go of those!

Re: Man uses real name for gamertag. Hilarity ensues.

They may have masked his personal details, but being a UK resident I can tell you this...

He is from wales (all welsh Uk driving liscences have the welsh after the title, the Trywdded Yrru) Also by the lettered codes, it says what vehicles you can drive.

One of the codes means he can drive a 9-16 seater minibuse towing a trailer which means he is over 21 (the minimum age allowed to have this on your liscence)

Just some pointless facts.....

Gaywood is a popular welsh last name, being of celtic origin.

What happens if your female and have their first name as Gayner? Gaynor is a very rare female first name and a very popular surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census)

what gets me is why he uses his real name as a gamertag?How many people here on this forum use their real name as the handle? I certainly don't, Feba isn;t a real name nor is TGM, Pai Pai or malacite.

Names these days you can always play around with or find some double entendre. My friends and I played a trick on an insurance company, they kept bombarding us with junk mail to the "ocupier" etc. They were offering a free green parker pen if we got a quote so we sent off for one using the following name. "Mustafa Greenpen" (must have a green pen) funny thing was we got one, but now we get the junk mail to mustafa greenpen! Still made 10 minutes of entertainment in this too serious screwed up world we reside in.

Because it's Gaywood, I thought that was very obvious. It's his real name so he figured he could use that excuse to get around any filtering and be the only person allowed to use it.

Re: Man uses real name for gamertag. Hilarity ensues.

On the 360, I won't use any female related name because all you do is get harassed. I would NEVER use my real name! But I feel it is a bit different for men than it is for women.

Re: Man uses real name for gamertag. Hilarity ensues.

Not in this "modern" world TGM, I have known many males to have the same from both sexes.

[LilithAngel]

Re: Man uses real name for gamertag. Hilarity ensues.

Yeah, I'm with TGM on the female name thing. I've had to deal with quite a few misguided fools over the years both in game and on these boards simply because I preserved the theme of my character, instead of going with what I usually do. I actually find it quite amusing, hilarious, and kinda sad all at the same time.
