Simply "Bussard" and the plural "Bussards," as in "Diesels."

BFR is going to be elided to "Beefies," and it is Doc Bussard's name that deserves to be remembered.

I can't believe that there are only 20 people who care what this machine is going to be called. I know there are a multitude of silent "Lurkers" with repressed opinions out there. It's time to make your voice heard!

I like BFR, and I can easily say it as the Beefer machine.
Dr. Bussard will always be remembered, as it will be spelled out in the reactors documents, and in his R&D papers. I can't pronounce Dr. Bussard name properly, my accent prevent me and most French peoples to hear the proper pronunciation.
