Call it Baffa (Japanese translation of Buffer)

No, gairaigo usually just sound stupid when brought back to English. How about "Kanshou" （緩衝）, the native Japanese word for "buffer"?

Good idea, but this sounds a bit too close to Buffer :)

I think anything other than tampon would be fine. Since it's open source, might as well call it "tweet_scheduler".

That's the idea. (It's japanese after all)

That's because it is buffer -- baffa is just the japanese transliteration of buffer. w1ntermute is right.
