OK, I need some help with this one (Gamertag Change)

So I want to change my gamertag and there's only one I want. Coincidentally enough, it's already taken. When I send the gamertag a friend request on Xbox Live, the gamer picture shows the white xbox symbol, indicating it hasn't been in use in a LONG time. No gamerscore. No activity. No nothing. And always says offline. Never says the user was online at any point in time. I know it's not being used. I've called microsoft and they say they release gamertags when the gamertag is idle for 7 years. I've been checking on the gamertag for years but it's always unavailable. Any suggestions or help from somebody that has been through the same process? Any help is appreciated.

I hate it when that happens. And go with what Tyrael said. And I also recommend using something that isn't CallofDuty9876 or SuperMasterCheif117 and go with something cool and very few people know of. I spent 2 weeks reading a 1920 Webster dictionary and settled with Archangel.

I realize that I very well could change the gamertag to something similar, something that fits, etc. but there's nothing else that I would want. I'll just tell you, the one I want is "Kayen" which is my gamertag right now with no X's. The story for that is, when I had AOL internet, the Matrix was coming out with sequels and I was a fan. AOL had a thing that gave you your Matrix name when you entered your real name. My Matrix name was Kayen. I've wanted the original gamertag ever since. Apparently somebody beat me to the punch lol.

 

Vplus, I forgot about the "Itz" tags out there. That might be my best option. I'm just keeping it simple.

 

It's not a big deal if I can't get it. I've had this one for years but it kinda sucks that nothing can be done. You would think Microsoft would do something more about it.
