apparently, some tv station in detriot has them as call letters, and trademarked them...
had it for like a year, as soon as I started redirecting the domain to a sponsor, I got the C&D and a phone call from some Çunt lawyer yelling at me on the phone like some 2 year old.
I eventually gave it up.. couldn't be bothered trying to fight for it.

It all depends on how much shit you want to put up with. I am not an attorney, but from what I know a trademark would only prevent you from using X-whatever in their marketplace and where the public might be confused or duped as regard to which is which. That doesn't seem likely here.
Do you want to ignore them and then possibly fight them? I suspect their pockets will go much deeper if push comes to shove, so you might either want to give up because they will run out of money first, or let them damage you and then hire an attorney to try to get something out of THEIR deep pockets.
