Or you used a synonym.
Festurix is a synonym.

Xeidtlous is a detachment.

Celfurix is a related term.

The words without Xs are commonplace.

Try these four as well:

Rawx
Frextis
Manifex
Dhexat

Then name the group.

Rawx
Frextis
Manifex
Dhexat

Then name the group.

War
Famine
Death

It's the name of the four riders, courtesy of Revelations, although only Death is given in the Bible.
Can't figure out the middle one, though, not yet.

The only translation for the second I can find is Conqueror and Pestilence.

Frextis = Strife, often called Pestilence or Plague.

Festurix -- Surfeit, means greedy or in excess of, but I've never heard of this word before today
Xeidtlous -- Solitude
Celfurix -- Lucifer

Awesome!

Well, that's it then. I don't know how much longer you'd like me drag this on. As I posted at the start, all who guessed correctly were allowed to post their own.

You guys have been wonderful, thank you for playing. Just ask if you want more.

EDIT - Oh yeah, the non-Xs . . . but those are even easier than the others.

Ah heck, just one more: Sondimux (zone "d" mucks)

Naturally.

Aside from the "X" Puzzles and Non-Xs, I was gonna make some Z-nagrams where I scramble words and replace C S and X with Zs. It wouldn't apply to words that already had Zs in them, just like the other puzzles.

Wow. No one even tried?

Pknix (p'nix)*
Xoth (zoth)
Thignlingx (thine lynx)*
Valconox (falcon ox)
Slagxs (slacks)
Roganex (row can x)
Xeinun (tsi none)

Words marked with a * from now on mean that the word really could be used as someone's name. Any without are those you'd probably not see as someone's name. Probably.

cool!! I'm afraid I'm not quite as good as you guys are when it comes to puzzle solving/making, but here goes.. Some are pretty obvious

(note: they are in sets, separated by the spacing)

Xiga
Xishon
Xanathi

Kaixru (pronounced kai-ru)
Horixime
Yuxur
Gaxhitsuya
Xenchpaik
Tsugaxzen

Yo! I'm not simple enough to just put an X at the end of a preexisting word. Also . . . I don't think that's how you spell that.

Xiga
Xishon
Xanathi

Kaixru (pronounced kai-ru)
Horixime
Yuxur
Gaxhitsuya
Xenchpaik
Tsugaxzen
Boggled!

Gai? Shion?

Akiru?
Ryuu?

Gai? Shion?

Akiru?
Ryuu?

You got the first one right!
The second one... You got two of the letters backwards.
As for the other two, pretty close!

Here's some help, the first set are Naruto characters and the second set are BLEACH (yes, all in capital) characters. And one of them, when pronounced right, sounds like the correct spelling of its answer.

Roganex is Eragon, isn't it? :)

Next set, took me a while to make:

Serxnip
Dinaxlap
Normexmus
Glackbexm (sounds like a warcraft name, doesn't it)
Malxchesit
Lextalstineme
Xansitim
Ixilsionslit

The answers are found in a game talked about in this forum! Happy hunting!

Think colors . . .

I like your loyalty to the setup. The words are scrambled well enough but can still be someone's name . . . if weird as hell.

First set:
Xiga = Gai
Xishon = Shino
Xanathi = (I don't know many Naruto names. I mostly only hear the names of my favorite characters)
Kaixru = Iruka

(I've never read or watched Bleach, I don't even know what it's about)

Second set:

Serxnip = Pinser?
Dinaxlap = Paladin
Normexmus = Summoner
Glackbexm = Black Gem?

Oh crap! Duh! Naruto = Hinata's Crush.
Serxnip = Sniper

Let me make some simple suggestions.
1. Don't use words that have already been used. They're too easily solved.
2. Don't use words that can be made into another word, like Hexart's Earth and Heart.

The only existing rule is . . .
1. The scrambled word has to sound like a name.

According to "ows" only someone who's watched BLEACH can know what that name is. At least, that's how I translated it.
