In my family, this is pronounced Book-er as well. The "gh" makes the German "ch" sound (something like a k). Other variations of this name are Boocher and Bucher. I parts of the south, this name was further changed to Booher. In that case, the ch sound was dropped altogether and it is pronounced Boo-er.
