Well to be fair cartoon names tend to be weird in general.

In The Fairly OddParents, Timmy's parents' nicknames are "Mom" and "Dad" even when they're teens; in Hey Arnold! there are characters named "Stoop Kid" and "Monkey Man". The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron has named "Beautiful Gorgeous" (IIRC it's her actual given name, although she was a villain so now I wonder if it was an alias.) Neutron itself is just a word that's not actually a name... and Vortex, Cindy's last name... and when it comes to animal characters it's even more common. Little Bear and Franklin both had casts of animal characters whose names were just the type of animal they were.

TL;DR... it's not just foreign names that are weird in cartoons.

and why does Marge Simpson call her father-in-law "Grandpa"?

I called my paternal grandfather 'Papa'; so did my mum. When around my ex's neices and nephews, I'd say, "Go show/give that to Granny," referring to my ex's mum. I'd hazard a guess it starts when you have little kids and to give a person more than one name is confusing for them.

It creeped me out that in the Berenstein Bears, the kids were Brother and Sister, even though their friends had normal names.
