Hmm... I have a user name which I use on some forums.  It found five instances of it, none of which were valid!

I had one that was the same. I presume it depends how popular your username is ...

But currently 15 million others who use Xbox Live do.  More users will join the service aswell at Xmas time, so finding the exact gamertag that you want will not be easy.
