I sort of suspected that.
I just had a brainfart-variety thought that Xiu Xiu cleverly sort of pulled a R.E.M. (R.E.M. refused to show themselves clearly in their earliest videos and Stipe didn't sing the lyrics to their early songs all that clearly either) only Xiu Xiu did something similar concerning the "correct" pronunciation of their name. The moniker appears rather cryptic to begin with, but maybe they purposely didn't really put the correct pronunciation out there a whole bunch with the desired effect being a contribution to a sense of mystery about themselves.
