Didn't they name it X because an OS already existed with the name OS 10?
That was a (supposed) issue with OS9. Apparently, it was resolved.
Maybe Apple was concerned that people would hear "Oh Es Sex" and didn't want
the un-family-friendly connotation (of course, where do families come from?).
I predict that Apple will be unable to stop the populace from saying "eX."
