Why didn’t Generation X get a catchy nickname?

We have the G.I. generation, the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Millenials, Centennials, and.....................Generation X stuck in the middle of all that. Was there nothing noteworthy that anyone could come up with during that time to describe them??

Why did they start with X?
Now they are up to Z (alternate names for the next 2)? Where do they go now?

Originally was meant to mean the forgotten generation, the one no one cared about or felt like naming.
Then it ironically turns out to be the best.

Oh God, the order will probably get effed up sometime around omicron and it'll be two generations before anybody notices.

"Millennials" sucks much worse
"Generation X" has a kinda rebel vibe

While the Boomer and Millenials are busy hating each other for having so much in common, Gen X is keeping the country a float.

Generation X actually refers to the 10th (Roman Numeral "X") generation of Americans since Independence.
