    Its easy but expensive. On your gamer profiles you can press X to change your name. Costs 800 MS points though.

    It will cost you. I've not found a way to do it for free... yet.

    Their is a way to get it for free, If enough people complain about your Gamertag you will get a chance to change it for free. Their is a site (that I cant remember) that you sign up for and the guys will all complain about your gamertag.

    good point man, totally forgot. Get a load of your XBL friends to file a complaint against you (specifically your GT)

    They will be asked to give a reason for the complaint, there is an option to say "offensive gamertag" or similar. When enough people complain, MS will contact you and force you to change your GT, for free.

    The name can only be changed in that way if it is offensive , Microsoft copped on to that ploy a good while back and ended up handing out a few suspensions to those who complained.(that is if the name is not offensive)
