i found these on some site

MXPX MXPX's first name was Magnified Plaid (Or M.P. for short) so when Yuri (The drummer) was making posters for their upcoming show and he put the periods as X's, so they decided to take that name instead Magnified Plaid.

MXPX Well, it has already been explained that MXPX used to be M.P. for magnified plaid- but where did magnified plaid come from? Well, one of the band members had this plaid shirt. The plaid was uncommonly large and appeared to be magnified plaid. I guess they liked the name. Oh yeah, the reason why they used x's instead of periods is simply that the x was and is the symbol for straightedge.

MxPx Originally they called themselves Magnified Plaid, and often used the abbreviation of M.P. At some point, people mistook Yuri's (the drummer) depiction of "periods" as x's. The name obviously stuck.
