Ahh, but you miss out on the 'cool' aspect embodied by letter X, the underlying meaning that effectively refers to the title of the movie and other things are likely going over my head. Gige prefix does not have the same impact. Alien in fake latin sounds a lot better.

Yeah, if they used Z instead of X, the Brits would have said Zedenomorph and that's just not right in any language
