Given the wide variation in the use of the
x-shaped note head I think the only possible
name to use is one that reflects the shape of
the note head - crossNote, crossNoteHead or
similar - rather than trying to find a suitable
generic name which adequately covers all these
disparate uses.

1) What instances (other than a drum staff) are you aware of
where a note uses a cross symbol rather than a standard note
head?
2) For each of the instances you identified in part 1), what do
you call the resulting note?
Below I've listed all the uses of the x-shaped notehead that I
could find in Kurt Stone's "Music Notation in the Twentieth
Century". I may have missed some, but this should give you an
idea.
