1. Xerces Blue (a type of butterfly.) (I think this is the coolest of the X words, by the way.)
2. Xenosaur ("slender-bodied Mexican lizards." Love any word that ends in "osaur".) (Thanks, @amyrhoda!)
3. Xiphias (genus for swordfish)
4. X marks the spot (on a treasure map)
5. Xenon (thanks @trybka!)
6. Xi'an (Home of the Terracotta Army. Sweet.) (Thanks, @gvwilson!)
7. X Prize (This /is/ rocket science.)
