How Do I Rename My Xbox?

For many gamers, naming their Xbox 360 is as important as naming their firstborn child. Having a particular name may make a gamer feel as though he has a certain amount of luck, and can breed confidence during game time. However, sometimes the original name chosen for your console ends up growing tiresome, or in the long run just doesn't feel quite right. At times like these, it is a good idea to rename your Xbox.
