This is a great name, because at least 90% of your customers will find it funny. Some friends in Boulder made a company called RaffleCopter, and its meme-inspired name (based on ROFLcopter) seemed to help it get much more attention than it drove away. https://www.rafflecopter.com/ Another good thing about both names is they work even if you don't get the reference. I think that could be a must.

I don't know much about fuzzing but I'm inspired to give your tool a try if/when I get a chance.

We sort of picked the name as a joke at first, but we noticed that it was very memorable (as meme-inspired names tend to be), so we decided to keep it. Don't regret it, yet.

Did you consider "Fuzzbizz?" It's a truer Spoonerism, plus you get the "business" pun. Although maybe that's outweighed by it no longer rhyming. :P
