I don't know why most people prefer to use the dots, probably
because most people use them. 

The usual answer for the name of the dot is {denpa bu}.
However, {denpa bu} is not a name, it is a lerfu. Lerfu are
used in lojban as pronouns. To talk about the dot, we could
say {lo galxyfanta lerfu}, "the glottal-stop letter".
