No wonder I could not find this, turns out as pointed out above. Site has been redesigned. It sounds like they will change the name, but it is a hit and miss.

So I'm finally setting up my creators club account. I noticed there were some information that could not be changed at a later date after the sign up. Here are my questions: a) what is the difference between "creator name" and gamertag? i.e. how do they affect each other? Apparently I can NOT change creator name once ...
