"Christian" is out of the running as it is Paul's word and his teachings did not agree with those of Jesus.
Would they be a Jew since Jesus was a Jewish reformer? Or something else entirely?

Christian is the title for those who follow Paul's teachings even though he claimed to be an apostle of Christ.

Because I'm not Christian and I don't go to church every week, I know nothing about the Bible? I've read it extensively and questioned portions that no one in the pariochal schools that I attended would ever dream to do.
One example of many where Jesus and Paul disagree: Jesus spent a large portion of time among women and many of his followers were women. He defended them from his own disciples who ridiculed them. Paul on the other hand was a well known misogynist who warned that women must be silent in the church and made it very clear his hatred toward them, which was the opposite of Jesus.

Hmmm I don't think Paul ever used the word Christian. Peter did though "However, if you suffer as a Christian" 1 Peter 4:17
I call anyone who follows the teachings of Christ as found in the Bible "fundamentalists".

Have you actually compared Paul's teachings to the teachings of Jesus? How, exactly, do you think they disagree? Or are just taking someone's word for it?
The fact that you associate Paul with the title of "Christian" shows how much research you put into this theory. Paul had absolutely nothing to do with the title "Christian," and does not use the word "Christian" a single time in all of his writings.
So I can't help but wonder, if you are that ignorant of Paul's teachings, how can you possibly draw a comparison of Paul and Jesus?

What??? How do you get that? Paul's word coincides exactly with Jesus's teachings. It would still be Christ-ian since you follow Christ still. It does not matter who gave the name, and it was not Paul who GAVE the name Christian. He just documented what he was hearing all over the port city of Antioch.

Bible says:
"Verily, verily I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do..." (John 5:19).
and
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which has sent me." (John 5:30)
So we call follower of Jesus as submitters. you have to submit you will to God.
Submiiters in Arabic is Muslim...
So, true follower of Jesus should be called Muslims (submitters)
Christians can be called paulists
