I was mainly confused with Hajime because I saw nowhere neither "はじめ" nor "ハジメ".

[一] - is quite common for Hajime as first name. So I can see why is that popular belief but [べ (be)] + [一 (ichi / hito/ ii) / 1] = just B

So in end you could read Oggai's line as simply Captain B (and that could be seen as reference to NieR).

^So this is why it's issue and why I wouldn't bet so highly on Hajime or previous name before it "Bei" (or an actual name for matter), least for now. Oggai are inspired after NieR, so it wouldn't surprise me if they all had NieR like names (wouldn't surprise me if I saw "エス" or "アー" one of these days as well LoL). So I would say that Ishida pretty much is playing with "べ一" on purpose because of it.

As such it's best to leave this one out till we have accurate 100% confirmation on that name instead of inserting Bei(i), Hajime or B(e).

We are in no hurry to settle for some name (like translators are) and we can insert name whenever it's confirmed instead of going with assumptions.
