I don’t know about that. I can’t find a single place that shows the “hachibi” reading, and in the first place Nanabi is supposed to be called Nanao. I’ve just asked a Japanese person too, and he said they’re read as Nanao and Yao. Unless there’s some kind of mythological source that shows kitsune called Nanabi and Hachibi (I haven’t found any), I don’t think that’s what their names are.
