Well, the rumor, which I have seen in number of places, but haven't seen officially is that the original considered name was Beta Sigma Alpha (which was rejected for being too obvious/open for ridicule).

Note I *have* looked to try to find this as part of my work on the History commitee and haven't found it. I'll ask on the National history and Archives Committee mailing list.
