As long as it's understood in context, I don't think the exact use of an acronym is critical. If discussing surround music from a bluray disc, then BR, BD, or BDA would be sufficient to specify it's source is from a bluray disc. The context part just requires a couple ounces critical thinking.
 
I miss the +R and -R from early DVDR discs where you had to choose the right format for both your drive and blanks. We should bring that back for bluray. Three letters (BDA) is too short and clear!
I have some single layer BD-R and BD-RW discs and a Sony laptop with a builtin optical drive that can write both formats reliably. What we don't get is the +R and +RW versions for BD. Sadly what I also don't have is the ability to buy a brand new laptop with a built in blu ray writer, which is what I want. When I'm on the move I have my iPad Pro for portability, I don't need a laptop so thin I can get paper cuts from it.
 
When I’m making a disc, I put a logo on the disc with the type of disc I used. But it’s usually unimportant, since my Oppo plays ‘em all.

Occasionally I send out discs to friends. Then I avoid DVD-Rs because I’ve had a lot of people tell me they can’t play them in their players.
