Google's name makes perfect sense, it's a derivative of the word "googol" which is 10^100.
For the first decade of its existence, Google would show the top 20 links for your search and at the bottom of the page say, "...of 2,000,000" or some other giant number, indicating to users how vast their index was.
"X" is just stupid. They could have at least waited until they added significant new functionality to differentiate it from Twitter with a new name.
