Why are they called “Beys” - JavariTheChamp - Nov. 24, 2018
Ok, you guys might hate me for this but hear me out. Doesn’t anybody cringe when they or somebody calls a Beyblade a “BEY”.
I mean Would Blade sound better, or maybe the orignal word for Beyblade called “Beigoma” because in real life a BAE is like a girlfriend, Andy when somebody calls a beybalde a bey. It’s weird, just something i wanted to know lol

The beyblades aren’t plastic, they are made of a metal alloy

No, I don't cringe. I don't even think of that slangy word. Or a bay or keeping things at bay. I might think of the word "bey" that was used as a title for rulers, but that's about it.
English and Japanese both have a ton of homophones. (Do you want presence or presents for your birthday?)
The Japanese call it a "bei" as a short way of saying "beigoma". The Japanese like shortening words. "bae" is just new (and no-big-deal) English slang that they don't know or don't care about. For the original/plastic series in English, as already mentioned, they used "blade" probably because they thought it sounded better. But "bey" doesn't sound like I'm talking about carrying a weapon either, though maybe they just thought to stick with the Japanese word this time.

It sounds wierd, but calling it a "Blade," it's weirder, especially since they have blades on their beyblades, so calling it a Bey is more logical.
