Not a hardcore fan but .. it does really sound better. Alien can meaning anything from xenomorph, independence day aliens to E.T. or maybe Paddington.

However Xeno already has this dark vibes swinging with it. While most people obviously (hopefully?) know Xeno just means "foreigner“ so people should hopefully recognize that Xenomorph is just slang / combo to describe a foreign thing that well .. morphs, drastically changes it’s form/mutates

Yea not sure why OP is trying to act like "Xenomorph" is some strange hardcore fan only name that should be changed. It's an awesome name and it clearly denotes which movie monster you are talking about. It's not "satire", it's a good name. Imagine trying to talk about your favorite movie monsters and being like "Oh I like the Alien!" yea which alien. "You know! The Alien! From... The space... movie.."

The Thing fans already have this issue.
