Gamertag Unavailable?

So I want to change my gamertag, I came up with a really good one, I enter it in and then it says valid but I've come up with a lot of other good gt's lately I wanted to wait until tomorrow, I sign out. Then somehow I had a sudden change of heart. I log back on and type in my creative gt and it says taken already.

I did this four times. I even bs'ed a gt name and signed off and signed back on and it now it's stubborn enough to even say

"wifhskthcpwehsl" unavaliable please try another name.

Like seriously? WTF is going on? I really want to change my gt into one of my own ideas and have the ability to unstead of getting false errors and gt names that don't even exist (i checked via friend request and xboxgamertag.com)

Somebody help me out this is so unfair.

If the system says it's in use, then it is in use somewhere on Microsoft's servers. It may not show up as an Xbox gamertag because it could be in use on another Microsoft service or it could have spaces in it which the system sees as being the same name.

Microsoft started releasing gamertags from the original Xbox months ago, but as far as I know those are the only ones they are releasing. All you can really do is wait and keep trying unfortunately.
