I’ve seen a lot of people ask for gamertag help, so I thought I would make this post.
Have you ever been playing xbox and saw someone with a one word “og” gamertag like Stabilities and thought to yourself “Wow! How did they think of that?!” Well here is one way to get cool one word tags.
Step 1: The first thing you need to do is find some good words to use. Do this by going to this site: Random Word Generator (Plus)
Once you click that, you should see this screen:
Step 2: What you do now is set the Word Type to Adjective and the Complexity to either Average or Somewhat Uncommon. This will allow you to get one word gamertags that are usually available. Note: you can use other Word Types and Complexities, but I find this pair works the best.
I’ll just use the first thing that came up as an example.
The GT “Coinciding” is one word and is an actual word, making it ok I suppose. Now time to see if it’s taken.
Step 3: The quickest way to see if a GT is taken is to sign in on xbox.com.
Once you do that, hover over the “my xbox” tab, then click on “friends”. It will take you to your friends list. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and you’ll see “Find a Friend” Type the GT in there like so:
Then click the “+” button. If the GT is taken, it will take you to the person’s profile. If it’s available, you will see this message:
That means that the GT is free to take!
Another method of doing this that was suggested by Airborn Llama:
Instead of searching for if the gt is avaliable or not on the “Friends Page” (which will take you to their account if it is take)
Instead, simply go to create message, and type in the word, and click the “+”. If it is taken, it will quickly, underneath the word say it is not a valid gt, or it will add it to the right if it is a taken gt.

This has gotten me many one word gamertags, so have fun!
