Yes, I too felt that the moment someone suggested turning BAR into a backronym that the appropriate action would be to use a recursive acronym. Thanks for coming up with a good one, I was too lazy.
Build Attack Reclaim is a horrible name for a game. It's not a 'name' it's a description.
Friend: So what is the name of that strategy game you're tellin me about? Me: BAR. (ashamed) Build attack reclaim. Friend: What? Me: Yeah the people who named it had to pick BAR and then make up what it means.

Lool, i'm in total agree with you: names like "angry robots" sounds like a child game for crying kids (uhm.. to be honest probably would be perfect.. ).
But "BAR" is the worst name that i've heard, ever. "bar" means nothing for a RTS, and in my opinion we need a simple name that stays in mind of the people, nothing more. Better banal than absurd.

What I think matters most is just the way it sounds when you first hear about it. No matter what name is chosen, people will get used to it eventually. The better the name, the less time it takes to get used to it.
It's got to be easy on the tongue, and easy on the ears. When I told some friends about Zero-K, at first they were like: "What? Ze are ok?" ¬_¬ "No like the number 0, but spelt out. And K, not kay. And there's a dash in there." "Why did they choose that name?" "I dunno, something to do with science or something."
Need a name like StarCraft, Crysis, Farcry or something. Two syllable names tend to be winners.
