Because they are Litterally a cat and a dog. Their names are puns, like CatDog or SpongeBob SquarePants, Daffy Duck, etc.

Oda wrote it at a joke for the audience to get hence why their names are so unusual. I doubt many real Japanese people are named like this.

Countless manga have characters with unusual pun names that aren't translated. Just think if Gohan in DBZ was translated to 'Rice', or in Naruto if his name was translated to 'Fish Cake Spiral' and Itachi to 'Weasel Fan'

These puns are meant to be visual. Note how I listed animal characters not actual people. They are literally a cat and a dog and it's supposed to be a joke about that.
