    Sure. Any common or made-up word can become a trademark if used as one.

    But from what you're saying, your competitor wants you to stop using one of those word
    as a keyword on your site or so?

    What specific keyword?

    XPartner or XPersonal sound like they might be considered trademarks. And your "adult, friend" makes me wonder if maybe you're using the words "adult friend finder".
