How about starting the buffer name with a space?
>From the elisp documentation:
Buffers that are ephemeral and generally uninteresting to the user
have names starting with a space, so that the `list-buffers' and
`buffer-menu' commands don't mention them. A name starting with space
also initially disables recording undo information; see *Note Undo::.
