Put this in your .emacs
(setq read-buffer-function 'read-buffer-different)
(defun read-buffer-different (prompt &optional default require-match)
"Read buffer with minibuffer completion not including current-buffer."
(let ((bl (buffer-list))
(cb (current-buffer))
buf dbl)
(while (setq buf (car bl))
(unless (eq buf cb) (push (buffer-name buf) dbl))
(setq bl (cdr bl)))
(completing-read (if default
(concat prompt "(default " default ") ")
prompt)
dbl nil require-match nil 'buffer-name-history default)))
