In advance, I want to apologise to others who are sick of the Gamertag ideas topics...I'm looking for feedback from those of you already on XBL.


I am planning to get an Xbox 360 in the near future to go with my PS3 and Wii (mostly to play online with friends who already have 360's). I wanted to plan a Gamertag in advance so that I at least had an idea and wouldn't be scrambling to think of one last minute. My nicknames are Kominike (my name in a foreign language), Dom and Dommy. I was thinking something along the lines of
Komikaze or Kominikaze (and I know it is actually spelled kamikaze) - the second one would be nice becuase the "mini" part in the middle is a good play on words regarding my height.:) However, neither of them flow particularly well when you have random people trying to pronounce them quickly over a headset. I had also thought about just using Dom or Dommy, but due to the large number of immature teenage guys on XBL, they would probably make some stupid comment about me being "dumb" or a "dummy". Another idea I'd had was to do something relating to the fact that I'm a girl gamer (:P), but again, I would probably get hit on or made fun of. If it's still available, I could use my GS username dj2 (FYI, it's actually dj squared).


Am I off on my assessment/feedback? Does anyone have any tips to improve my Gamertag ideas? Thanks to all - GS is always very helpful. :)

Kominikaze is cool sounding to me. Komikaze is prob. taken (sounds like Kamikaze). Have a few back-ups as there is a good chance it will be taken. Dom or variations on that theme will def. be taken.

I was suprised that mymortalcoil wasn't taken. It's not popular but great minds DO think alike. It was taken on GS though (I had to add the _) and I am still waiting to run into my namesake.

Alright, thanks for the advice. I figured that after almost 4 years, regardless of the problems, I should jump on the bandwagon and pick up an Xbox 360. :)

1 tip (not for gamertag because i dont want to influence your own choice, if u like, use it, your the one that has to look at it whenever u sign on), try to play down the fact that your a girl, obviously your voice would give it away (you could try saying your a 12 year old boy on occasions haha) but when a girl starts playing games, most gamers become, ignorant. they will either hit on you or start being very sexist and shovanistic, so once u find a good group of friends, use the party system :)

If you like Kamikaze so much,try adding a word after it : eg.Kamikaze Noodle....Kamikaze Actual....Kamikaze Biatch....Kamikaze Eclipse....Kamikaze Eater....Kamikaze dj2....Kamikaze Squared....Kamikaze Clone.Sorry if these are a bit lame but hopefully it will give you some ideas lol.:P

Ah... the gamertag decision. It will probably be the longest time you will spend in the entire XBox live sign-up process. You would be surprised at how many gamertag names are already taken. Hopefully "Komikaze" isn't taken, as it sounds pretty cool; considering that it is a play on your own nickname. Any yes, stray away from mentioning that you are a female, otherwise your experience may not be pleasant. lol...

Yeah try not to make it too obvious your a girl and i know that sounds dumb but most people on xbox live are amazing immature. Once you get a few friends online you can use the party chat option so you can only hear and talk with your friends and just block out all the angry 12 year olds and people who will make sexist comments i have about 10 girls on my freinds list and i play with a few of them almost daily so i know the kind of flack girls take. However reguardless people will be ignorant its best to just ignore those people cause there is really no way to win an argument on xbox people will just keep talking and if you let it get to you it will ruin your whole experience.

komikaze is taken. and i'm using kominikaze, but anyway, i would suggest using something like "Im Ur Gurl" or maybe "Kominike" like you typed, it is still available but i'm considering taking that one as well.

I have a lot of lady friends on xbox live. I find it fascinating that they play online with all the geeks & nerds trying to hit or embarrass them. My 1st time with a girl it was funny bec. I thought it was a kid with a girly voice when she finally speak up that's when I knew that she was a girl, surprise2x!

I chose my gamertag based on my personality. I Love Metal music and I am a Maggot(Slipknot Junkie) and added a random 66 on the end

Metal+Maggot+66=metalmaggot66
