B.B.'s name possibly means "Beatrix/Bill" as she is their genetic offspring and would have most certainly be named by Bill himself. That being said, if her first name is indeed Beatrix, it could have been a tribute to the Bride, since Bill never knew if she'd emerge from her coma.
As Dazed Magazine points out, a perfect example is Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. When she's sitting at the table in the diner and describing the pilot of her fictional television program Fox Force Five to Vincent Vega, she basically sums up the plot of Kill Bill.
The black-and-white photography in the Crazy 88 fight scene is known as a homage to '70s and '80s U.S. television airings of kung fu movies. Black and white (as well as black and red) was used to conceal the shedding of blood from television censors.

There are 88 keys on a standard piano, which are black and white. The Crazy 88 wear black and white clothing. Black and white was chosen and serves as an underlying obscure/random reference to the 1970s and 1980s.
Pulp fiction gets its name from the paper it was printed on. Magazines featuring such stories were typically published using cheap, ragged-edged paper made from wood pulp. These magazines were sometimes called pulps.
