-xi- itself offers little scope for customising names.
Rather, the main advice is to change them from what
-xi- produces. You may find -renvars- (a Dutch-Welsh
co-production from STB-60) of help here. And because
all your work on that will be undone next time
you run -xi-, consider using the -prefix()- option
of -xi-.
