Gamertag Score
Type any gamertag and get a quality score out of 100, broken down by dimension: length, pronounceability, readability, memorability, cleanliness, numeric noise and platform compatibility. Every number is explained — no black boxes.
The score measures format quality — length, pronounceability, cleanliness, platform fit. It does not represent availability, legal uniqueness or popularity.
How the score works
Each dimension is scored 0–100 from deterministic rules — for example, length peaks between 6 and 12 characters; digit tails subtract from numeric noise; consonant clusters reduce pronounceability. Dimensions are weighted and averaged into the overall score, and you can see each one's contribution.
The score describes format quality. It says nothing about availability, trademark status, or whether people will like the name — those are separate questions this tool deliberately doesn't pretend to answer.
| Dimension | What it measures | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Distance from the 6–12 character sweet spot | 16 |
| Pronounceability | Vowel/consonant balance, cluster control | 16 |
| Readability | Character complexity and syllable load | 12 |
| Memorability | Rhythm, structure, absence of noise tails | 12 |
| Cleanliness | Separators and character-set hygiene | 10 |
| Numeric noise | Digits, especially tailing digits | 8 |
| Platform compatibility | Format fit for the selected platform | 8 |
| Visual balance | Case pattern and compound proportions | 6 |
| Character hygiene | Ambiguous look-alike characters | 6 |
| Semantic coherence | Word pairing plausibility | 6 |
Using the score well
Scores are comparative, not absolute. An 82 doesn't mean a name is objectively great; it means it's stronger on these measures than a 71. Use it to choose between your own shortlisted candidates.
If one dimension drags a favourite down — say numeric noise — the optimizer can usually fix exactly that problem without changing anything else.
Reading the breakdown like an engineer
The overall number is a summary; the ten bars beneath it are the diagnosis. A score of 74 with a clean length bar and a sagging numeric-noise bar is a different name problem than a 74 with perfect cleanliness and poor pronounceability — the first is one edit from excellent, the second is a rebuild. Reading the bars first, number second, is the habit that turns the tool from a judgement into an instrument.
The weights are not decorations. Length and pronounceability together carry a third of the total because they dominate how a name performs in the wild: feeds, voice chat, memory. Platform compatibility is scored against your selected platform only, which is why the same name can gain or lose points as you switch the selector — a Discord-legal lowercase version and an Xbox-legal capitalised one are different artefacts with different grades.
Two honest caveats travel with every score. The memorability dimension is a proxy built from rhythm and structure, because true memorability can only be measured on other humans. And no dimension measures meaning: a name that scores 95 and means nothing to you has still failed the only test that matters.
