Because Bumblebee is the name RT uses? Just like Snowbird. It was coined in the very early stages, and now RT uses it so what's even the point of changing it when RT certainly isn't going to.

It's like Crescent Rose. I would prefer that for JaunexRuby to Lancatser, since the only reason it's called Lancaster was because people were fighting over who Ruby (the Rose) was going to end up with (Jaune or White) and it was the 'War of the Roses". It's not named for anything to do with Jaune (or really Ruby herself beyond a reference to her last name), it's just named for the fight people were having over if Ruby should end up with Jaune or Weiss.

Crescent Rose at least references three things: A) Crescent = Arc, Jaune Arc. B) Rose = Ruby Rose. C) Crescent Rose is Ruby's weapon. If Bumblebee can share a name with Yang's bike, then Crescent Rose can share a name with Ruby's weapon.

But Lancaster is the one everyone uses, and no matter how much I try no one else will ever use it. The same goes for SnowBird. Make names all you like. No one will use them.
