#Why is the name "grapefruit" and no other variation of it not allowed as a gamertag?

I want the name grapefruit. Just "grapefruit" is not allowed, but every variation like grapefruit1 is fine. it's not because it has "rape" because grape works, so why is JUST "grapefruit" banned? there's no way there's too many people with the name "grapefruit", because it doesn't say it's taken, it just says it's not allowed

#

also there's no way that apple is not taken but grapefruit is as a gamertag

there is no way no know why a certain name is not allowed or if its been taken or any other posable reasons for it. If it will not let you have the name for whatever reason then you need to choose something like it or different

it's definitely not taken because names like "alex" give "This gamertag is already taken or isn't allowed."

#

grapefruit is just "This gamertag isn't allowed. Try a different one."

#

so i have no way of knowing why microsoft hates grapefruit

as mentioned there is no way to know that. it could be a private profile or baned account for example

contact microsoft then

but there's tags now, like 9999 people can have the same name like discord used to be before the stupid changes

correct there is no way to find out why you can not use grapefruit

damn

#

that's pretty frustrating

#

grapefruit is not allowed, neither is graapefruit, but graaapefruit? perfectly fine.

#

this is such a stupid system

@warm karma It's definitely taken, so that's why - hopefully that's your useful response.
