The problem with all these words is that they may have a meaning for
native English speaking people - and may even have a humorous background,
but to most others they are more or less meaningless and completely
unrelated to the product. For better global acceptance it's better
to use a name where we don't have to point people to a dictionary first.

To me Xing is rather meaningless - I have to admit.

Right. 
The choice of the name XFree86 is a good example of what I have been
trying to explain: English speaking people immediatly understood
the homor involved in the name of the successor of X386. 
However there have been non-native English speaking people who
had been on the project for years until they have finally understood
the little catch in there.
