Would this not be an advertisement nightmare (Not that Twitter isn't already one) to try to change a recognized brand's name to something completely different?

  • 'x' isn't searchable
  • It's associated with a thousand things already...including porn
  • It sounds dated: as a culture, we went through an 'x' phase

There's just no sense in which this is a good idea...
