well like kurama said a couple of chapters back. no matter how you look at it people always say the same thing

so maybe even if bee and gyuuki are best friends bee never really cared much to ask his name.

or the fact that bee didnt know they had names lol
i mean it took someone really full of pride like son goku to actually tell naruto his name. if it wasnt for that naruto wouldnt of even known they had names apart from kyuubi, hachibi etc.

I think Bee's constant rapping caused Eight-Tails to forget his own name.

This.
Plus, what kind of a name is Gyuuki?
I'm willing to bet that it was 8 tails himself, that forbade Bee of uttering his real name ever again. :shrug:

I could see him doing that

in his best Mr T impression "I pity the fool who utters my name!"

Haha, actually you can translate English to Japanese phonetically. There are a lot of words used in such a manner in the day to day Japanese language.

Octo-Bull would be translated as Okuto-Buru (オクト ブル).

The Japanese don't use the letter L, so it usually is changed to R in these kind of translations. Plus, sometimes adding a vowel is needed, because the phonetic equivalents of Katakana and Hiragana characters are not just letters (like d, f, k, m and so on) but sounds (like ma, me, ka, ta...).

Even Kirabi (キラービー) is the phonetic equivalent of Killer Bee. :izuna:

Meh, I'm surely going to get neg repped someday because of this Japanese explanation habit of mine. :|

Because we, the fans, didn't even know the Bijuu had names.

Why would Kishi introduce the Hachibi's name before the Kyuubi's? It's common sense.

pwned!

meh who really cares.. its unneccessary to really focus on why Bee doesnt call hachibi by his name.. like someone said they probably just didnt care. bee didnt care or hachibi didnt care. it was son goku who had pride demand to be addressed by his name and without that non of the other beasts would have even mentioned it
