This explanation doesn't make sense. Romanians and Bulgarians lived close to each other since the 7th century, and came in contact with Serbs only in the 13th century, so I don't believe Romanians didn't have a name for the Bulgarians.
Montenegrin and Macedonian as ethnic designations are a thing of the early 20th century.
this makes sense.

Family names with the ethnic designation "Bulgar", "Bulgaru", "Bulgari", "Bolgar", "Bolgari", "Bulgarean(u)" are significantly less common than those that point at Serbs like "Sīrbu", "Sīrboiu", "Sīrbulescu", "Sīrbuleț".
Sīrbu alone is the 11th most common surname in Moldova and 131st most common in Romania, according to Forebears. The most popular variation for Bulgarian, Bulgaru, is on the 322nd place in Moldova and 697 in Romania.
