I think it is ridiculous. People sometimes even pay for them, but in all honesty, nobody cares about your username. When I look at someones post or when I am playing online I do not care about what their name is. And when people go so far as to put nonsensical names like "Frosted flower" or "Yellow Carpet"; it's not original, it just makes you look like you looked around your room and put an adjective before whatever you see. It's not hard. I saw some names today and they literally made me want to throw my controller they were so stupid. I saw "HallowedTree" "ALittleToenail" "JuicyString". Like, seriously?

And no, one word names are just as bad. It looks like you went to a dictionary, went to a random page, and just picked out a word. Get creative, people! Examples= Bottle, Basket, Spray, Pillow

Also, the usernames that are on every usernames base ever are not creative either. It's just a race to see who's first. I could have had really any name I wanted 4 years ago, but I chose not to, wanna know why? No creativity.

I completely agree. I made a rant on this before.

OG Gamertags are like nice clothes, nice cars, everyone wants to have them and show them off.

I usually don't care since it's their decision, but it annoys me when they think they're cool because of it. Like if i'm playing CoD and I do much better than someone with an "OG" tag, they go "Well at least I have an OG tag unlike you" or something like that.

Usernames and GamerTags will never hold any meaning, it's how you use it.

I don't agree. One word names are way more appealing than a name like xXxWATERBOY69SWaGxXx

Yes, that's happened to me many times. Or they will say something like "at least I don't have numbers in my name". It's okay though, because my friends and I would just make fun of them for an insult like that.

To be honest, if someone pays for over 30$ for a gamertag that's kind've pathetic. I mean they look cool but c'mon. It seems kind of foolish if you ask me.
