Le BourbonnadeLiked it. Maybe they started calling it "Bourbondia" (and then historians became confused) or something similar over time.
Other names i would like: Visigothia and Galo-iberia

‘Franco-Iberian Empire’ sounds nice to me.Bourbon Empire/Kingdom
Well, calling it France or Spain would hurt some egos, France-Spain in the vain of Austria-Hungary just doesn't roll off the tongue.

FTFY.
With regards to the OP, i think "France and Spain" rolls off the tongue sufficiently well. Since a Bourbon super-monarchy might also include chunks of Italy, this part of their realm could technically be considered, even if mostly in more official nomenclature.
Two examples IRL would be Saudi Arabia and the Ottoman Empire.
In the first case inhabitants (or rather citizens) are generally called Saudis, but the country is also more informally called just Arabia. Generally people used to say Ottoman when talking about something coming from the empire without a part in mind, but they still talked about individual regions and nationalities, turkey and Turks were still common.
I think the country would likely be called just Bourbon Empire (rather than kingdom especially if it has a colonial empire), its nationals would generally be called Bourbons (which would also be the adjective related to the empire) but they would also be refered by their regions, French would still be called French, Same for Catalans... actually castillans may become more common as a demonym in English, France and Spain would still be used to talk about them respectively, although if the center of power moves toward France then France may become quasi synonymous with the empire in informal situations just like turkey was under the ottomans
Franco-Iberian Empire talk makes me think Portugal is going to have a heart attack.
In British English, it's called a problem.
In lusitanian portuguese too, but bigger.
